Tr.Bezan Chenoy submitted a letter requesting permission to withdraw his charge ALECTRONA from this race as the filly suffered from colic and was treated by the Club’s Vet at 0530 hours on the race day (9/8/2008). The said permission was granted and ALECTRONA was withdrawn on veterinary grounds.

RUBAIYAT (H.G.Rathod) was fractious on the way to the start. Also, the filly kept shying away each time attempts to stall her were made, as such, RUBAIYAT was withdrawn before coming under Starter’s order. Considering the overall behavior of the filly, Trainer Narendra Lagad has been asked to take remedial measures and to show the filly in a mock race to the satisfaction of the Starter before next accepting with her to race. HIGHLAND FLAME (Aadesh Kumar) was restless in the stall and swayed her head as the start was affected, as such the filly jumped out slowly losing about 4 lengths at the start. In view of the above, Tr.S.K.Sunderji has been asked to give the filly more gate practice and to show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting with her to race.

APPRECIATE (Riyaz Shaikh, dr.6) jumped out awkwardly towards the inside and made contact with ENCELADUS (P.Kamlesh, dr.5) and the two were involved in constant touch with each other for a brief period. Soon thereafter, the inside field shifted out i.e. MAJOR ROBERTS (Samuel Fargeat dr.2), OYSTER PEARL (Suraj Narredu dr.3), COVENANT (M.Narredu dr.4) and ENCELADUS (P.Kamlesh dr.5) who went on to APPRECIATE (Riyaz Shaikh) who in turn was tightened onto RIVER DANCER (Neeraj Rawal). As a consequence of the chain reaction, APPRECIATE (Riyaz Shaikh) and COVENANT (M.Narredu) lost their positions and dropped back. Since the incident was accidental, no action has been initiated against anyone.

At the start, SURAJ (Riyaz Shaikh, dr.7) shifted in and went across KINGDOM OF LOVE (Samuel Fargeat, dr.6) and TIGRESS NOIRE (Wayne Smith, dr.5) causing both the horses to be checked by their respective riders. Jockey Riyaz Shaikh has been fined Rs.3000/- for failing to exercise proper control over his mount. Soon after entering the straight, AQUADISIAC (C.Rajendra) shifted in and made contact with KINGDOM OF LOVE (Samuel Fargeat). Jockey C.Rajendra has been cautioned for failing to exercise proper control over his mount.

BIG RED (Khalander) was sluggish at the start.

Soon after the start, SPLENDID MONARCHY (C.S.Jodha) whipped around and stopped galloping and took no practical part in the race. In view of the above, Trainer Hosidar Daji has been asked to take remedial measures and to show the filly in a mock race to the satisfaction of the Starter before next accepting with her to race.
