A post race veterinary examination revealed the horse to have suffered a laceration  above the hock on the near hind leg consistent with having been galloped on.

AIRLIE MAN – Declared a late scratching at 4.30 pm after becoming cast in its race day stall and suffering a significant laceration to the off foreleg. Subsequent to the event all monies invested on the horse were ordered to be refunded. As this scratching occurred prior to the market being framed no deductions were applicable. Connections were advised that a veterinary clearance must be supplied prior to its next race start.
 
On return to scale a protest was lodged by jockey L. Rolls, rider of the 2nd placegetter, GLENTURRET, against WHODUNNIT being declared the winner, alleging interference in the straight.  After taking evidence from the parties concerned and viewing the patrol film, stewards were satisfied that GLENTURRET, whilst inclined to lay in, was inconvenienced when WHODUNNIT shifted out passing the 400m.  Stewards also established that GLENTURRET was inconvenienced near the 200m when WHODUNNIT shifted out under pressure resulting in GLENTURRET  being shifted back to the inside to secure clear running.  Stewards however could not be satisfied that the interference suffered as a result of WHODUNNIT shifting out was sufficient to overturn the three-quarters of a length margin between the 2 horses at the finish of the event and therefore dismissed the objection.  
 
ROCKING MY WORLD – Which was slow to begin and was further hampered when tightened for room shortly after the start.
 
GLENTURRET – Overraced for a short distance approaching the first turn.
 
NORTHERN DIVINE – When overracing in the lead had a tendency to lay out from the 800m until entering the home straight.
 
FAST TRICK – Jockey M. Cahill reported his mount laid in under pressure in the home straight.
