VALLERYSTHAL (A Sandesh) was fractious while being stalled. Jockey Md Imran, the rider of ch g PUGNACIOUS, when afforded an opportunity to explain the running of his mount stated that on dismounting after the race he noticed the bleeding of the animal through the nostril and indicated the same to the handler of the horse. The Stipendiary Stewards requested the Sr. Veterinary Officer to examine the gelding and confirm the same. As the gelding had left the unsaddling enclosure for its stable, the gelding was endoscoped later that evening and was found to have bled throughout the trachea. The Stipendiary Stewards have opened an enquiry into this incident and further informed Tr. Vikash Jaiswal not to accept with his charge until certified fit by the Veterinary Officer. During the course of the enquiry Tr. Vikash Jaiswal informed that neither him, the Syce or the Jemadar had noticed or were told by the Jockey that the gelding PUGNACIOUS had bled. The same was confirmed by the other two gentlemen i.e., Syce and Jemadar. The Stipendiary Stewards taking into account the Veterinary Doctor’s confirmation of the animal having bled though the entire length of the trachea and having informed Tr. Vikash Jaiswal of the veterinary ban imposed on the horse reminded the Trainer of Rule No. 167(b) i.e., “The owner and/or trainer and/or rider shall report to the Stewards as soon as practicable anything thatmight have affected the running of the horse in a race”and decided not to take any further action.
