GOLDEN RULE (Kuldeep Singh) trailed the field for greater part of the race in spite of Jockey’s efforts. Subsequent veterinary examination revealed that the gelding became recumbent in the stable and was unable to get up on its hind legs. YET AGAIN (Kiran Naidu) returned lame on his left fore due to severe shoulder sprain.

SHIMMERING ICE (P. Ajeeth Kumar) reared up and got stuck in the gates, as such the filly was permitted to be withdrawn before coming under starters orders, SSC revoked. App. C.S. Vikrant (MONTAUK) was cautioned to make more determined efforts to follow the given instructions of positioning his mount up with the front runners. MELODY QUEEN (N Rawal) trailed the field for the greater part of the race. Trainer K S V Prasad Raju was advised to ensure that his charge is capable of a better performance before next accepting in a race.

Explanation of Jockey Suraj Narredu (RANI) that his instructions were to sit close up with front runners which he tried to follow until entering the straight and thereafter when asked for an effort, the filly did not raise a winning gallop in spite of his best efforts was confirmed by Trainer D. Netto, noted for future reference. Explanation of Jockey M F Ali Khan (BAASHAGAR) in the presence of Trainer Shamsuddin that his instructions were to sit close with the front runners which he tried to follow until entering into the straight and thereafter when asked for an effort, his left stirrup leather buckle gave way resulting in him getting unbalanced in the saddle and got dislodged at about the 300 mtrs. As this confirmed our observation and also the equipment was found to be in serviceable condition, the incident being purely accidental, no action beyond noting the explanation of Jockey M.F. Ali Khan was taken. Due to the above fall, the running of STAR PLAYER (Deep Shanker) and PRINCELY RIGHT (App. Kunal Bunde) who were racing directly behind got hampered. Jockey M F Ali Khan who was given immediate medical aid escaped unhurt.
