BOUNTY HUNTER (A. Ramu) planted, lost many lengths, did not raise a fluent gallop and ran detached from the field. In view of its behaviour trainer Mr. Amit Caddy was informed that he must not accept with it again until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in one Mock Race on a race day on the race track. Jockey T. Bernard, the rider of COOL WHISTLE, was fined Rs.3,000/- for the excessive use of the whip on his mount during the race (2nd infringement). Trainer Mr. V. Narayana Gowda was questioned regarding the performance of his charge ROSIE'S DREAM in the above race. The trainer stated that (a) it did not have any form to go by other than finishing Third in Race No.46 of the Mysore Races 2011; (b) he could not attribute as to how his charge ran as such a strong favourite in the above race; (c) it had not worked that exceptionally well too; and (d) it was a light framed filly and he did not fancy it much to win, but gave it a chance. His explanations were noted. The Stipendiary Stewards reported Jockey S. Babu, the rider of MAGIC WAVE, to the Stewards for contravention of Rule No. 159(b) of the BTC Rules of Racing on his mount in the above race. The Stewards held an enquiry after the last race and examined Trainer Mr. Hidayat Khan and Jockey S Babu. After deliberations, the Stewards decided to (a) caution trainer Mr. Hidayat Khan as to the future running of his charges as also as to the selection of riders for his charges in future; and (b) suspend the Jockey's licence granted to Jockey S. Babu from 22-11-2011 to 31-3-2012 (both days inclusive) not to permit him to ride work during the period of suspension of his licence for contravention of Rule No. 159(b) of the BTC Rules of Racing on his mount MAGIC WAVE in the above race.
