Trainer Mr. F.Sirajuddin and Jockey A.Imran Khan were questioned regarding the running and riding of THUNDERSQUALL. The Trainer stated that he felt the horse was working well with the blinkers. Therefore blinkers were used and jockey Imran Khan was instructed to keep the horse in forward position. He said that in the race this horse jumped out awkwardly and thereafter traveling about 50 Meters received an interference due to which he dropped back and was very keen, therefore unable to settle. When questioned jockey A. Imran Khan confirmed the same and informed that he had received interference in the early part of the race and thereafter horse was keen and raced fiercely, possibly because the horse was running first time with the blinkers. Near 500 Metres he received interference again and managed to finish 3rd inspite of his best efforts. The explanation of the trainer and jockey were noted.
