First objection was lodged by Jockey Faizan Khan (BLACK RAINSTORM) for coming IN sharply, bumping & crossing badly in between 400 to 350 meters, due to which his mount who was in full gallop, broke its strides and he had to check his mount who literally lost its pace and that cost him a certain place. Second objection was lodged by Jockey Mohit Singh (POLY CZAR) for in a chain reaction caused by the winner who was travelling behind BLACK RAINSTORM, who shifted IN badly on to rails, and resulting in blocking his path fully and he was not able to ride out freely in 400 meters to 350 meters and that cost him a certain place. Third objection was lodged by Jockey M. B. Qureshi (CLETUS) for bumping his mount from 1000 meters to 700 meters due to which his mount got totally disbalanced and later it refused to respond to his call and that cost him a certain race.
