The first objection was lodged by Jockey A.Ashhad Asbar, rider of GARARO (Placed Second), against Apprentice Prabhu Naidu (MON AMI, placed First). The reason being, right from 350 metres till the winning post, MON AMI constantly bumped and bored his horse whereby his horse continuously lost momentum and balance and in the last 25 metres App.Prabhu Naidu pulled his horse in twice thereby elbowing him due to which he could not use his whip and this had cost him a certain race, the verdict being a neck. The second objection was lodged by Jockey Martin Dwyer, rider of EL CLASICO (Placed Third), against GARARO (A.Ashhad Asbar, Placed Second). The reason being, his horse was travelling very easy and GARARO came on to him and took his ground in the last 200 metres and gradually pushed him on to the rails whereby he was unbalanced and nearly fell off the horse and he was not able to ride out in the last 100 metres or else he would have won the race. The Stewards having considered the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their judgment, upheld the objection taken by the Second Placed horse viz. GARARO against the Winner, MON AMI. The Objection by the Third Placed horse viz. EL CLASICO against the Second Placed horse, GARARO, was not upheld as it was felt that the second placed horse GARARO passed on the interference caused by the original winner MON AMI. Therefore and arising out of a discussion, the original winner MON AMI was relegated to the Third Place.
