After the race, WOLF ROCK was found to be sound.

At the request of Tr.A.M.Jadhav, SAMURAI was examined on 26/12/2015 and was found to be sore by the right fore leg with swelling at the right tendon. As such, the gelding was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn on Veterinary grounds. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s VO before next accepting to race. An objection was lodged by Jockey A.Sandesh, rider of TENNESSEE (Placed Fourth) against COMMITMENT (App.S.J.Sunil, Placed Second). The reason being, at about 350 metres, COMMITMENT (App.S.J.Sunil) shifted out and bumped him whereby he had to check his mount or else he would have fallen and this incident cost him the second place as he would have beaten COMMITMENT. After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their judgment, the Stewards upheld the objection and revised the order of placing as under:- AZADEGAN - FIRST; TENNESSEE - THIRD; LIMEKILNS - SECOND; COMMITMENT - FOURTH The Stewards after the last race interviewed App.S.J.Sunil, who was accompanied by his Master, Tr.Sanjay Kolse, for dangerous riding on COMMITMENT. Having heard them and viewing the video of the race, the Stewards were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by App.S.J.Sunil. Taking an overall view the Stewards of the Club decided to suspend his Apprentice Jockey’s license w.e.f. 14th January, 2016 to 6th February, 2016 (both days inclusive) for dangerous riding on COMMITMENT (permitted to ride work/mock race). In that, at approximately 350 metres he pulled his mount out to make his move and in doing so, bumped TENNESSEE (A.Sandesh) who in turn went on to KOAL (App.D.S.Daman) and both the horses lost position and this incident nearly caused an accident. Thereafter, COMMITMENT again shifted out and made contact with TENNESSEE (A.Sandesh) who in turn went on to KOAL. Further, App.S.J.Sunil has been told to work harder to improve his riding skills under the guidance of the Riding Instructor, Mr.Aslam Kader.
