RITHAMBHRA (App Mohit Singh) was fractious while being loaded.

ch g ARCTIC FORCE (Vinay Jaiswal) was very fractious and reluctant to be loaded inspite of repeated attempts to do so. In the process, the bridle of the gelding came off which the handlers were unable to refit as the gelding was not cooperating. In view of its behaviour the gelding was withdrawn with the permission of the Stewards before coming under Starter’s orders. The Starting Stall Certificate of ARCTIC FORCE has been revoked by the Starter. Further, while the gelding was being led back to the unsaddling enclosure by the handlers, the gelding behaved very unruly, savaged one of the handlers on the hand, kicked out at the other and bolted. The gelding was later re-captured.
