The Racing Incident Report details various occurrences during the race involving multiple horses and jockeys. Notable incidents include NEBRASKAN being bumped at the start, MULTIDUTCH kicking a rail but passing veterinary inspection, and BLAZING BEAM being hampered early on and showing improved performance attributed to a favorable barrier draw. Several horses, including CONCORDE STAR and LUCKY GENERATIONS, were involved in tight racing situations causing interference and jockeys were advised to exercise more care. COLONEL was found to have bled from both nostrils post-race and must pass veterinary checks before racing again, while EVER SMART showed poor jumping and will require a stalls test prior to future races.

Jockeys provided explanations for their mounts’ performances and race tactics, with some horses proving difficult to ride out due to behavior such as laying in or becoming unbalanced. Post-race veterinary inspections generally found no significant issues except for COLONEL. Several horses, including BLAZING BEAM, CONCORDE STAR, and LUCKY GENERATIONS, were sent for sampling. Stewards reviewed the evidence and found the tactics of jockey Bowman reasonable despite some interference during the race.
