Prior to ‘ALL CLEAR’ being declared Jockey Rajinder Saini the rider of SOLID GOLD requested to view the race video with a view to considering lodging an objection. After viewing the video Jockey Rajinder Saini decided to proceed with an objection and accordingly an objection was lodged by Jockey Rajinder Saini the rider of SOLID GOLD placed second by the Judge against Jockey R Rakesh the rider of BLUE HORSE placed first by the Judge for “ coming in sharply at 200 mts , crossing me badly and forcing me to check my mount due to which my mount broke its stride and leaned and unbalanced and I could not ride out properly and that cost me a certain race”. The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the race interviewed the Jockeys concerned and after deliberations, considering the opinion expressed by the Stipendiary Steward and based on the observation of the race the Stewards were satisfied that an alteration to the placings could not be justified. Therefore, they decided to overrule the objection. The Security deposit was refunded.
