NITROUS (Wayne Smith) and SILVER TERN (S.N.Chavan) were slow in their strides, losing about 2 & 3 lengths respectively at the start. After the race, HUGO BOSS was observed to have an abrasion on the right fore fetlock and WORLD WAR THREE had an abrasion on the left hind fetlock.

WILD TORRONAADO (Neeraj Rawal, dr.6) jumped out awkwardly towards the outside and tightened BELLA (Aadesh Kumar, dr. 7) who went on to CAMEO (Wayne Smith, dr. 8) who shifted out and made contact with WAR OF ATTRITION (App.N.S.Parmar, dr. 9). Due to this incident, BELLA (Aadesh Kumar) was inconvenienced. Since the incident was accidental, no action has been initiated in the matter except cautioning Jockey Neeraj Rawal to be more alert at the gates in the future.

Approaching 1000 meters, STATJFORD (Samuel Fargeat) suddenly ducked towards the outside possibly due to the kick back and carried VICTORY STAR (Wayne Smith) outwards. Since the incident was accidental, no action has been initiated against anyone.

The Sr. VO informed that Trainer H.J.Antia had accepted with his charge STEFANO in this race although the horse was on Veterinary ban. Hence the horse was withdrawn from the race and Trainer H.J.Antia has been fined Rs.5000/- for accepting with his charge without having the horse passed fit to race by the Club’s VO. As the start was affected, SOLSKJAER (App.D.S.Rathore) tried to duck under the front Gates, thus losing about 2 lengths. Trainer Amjad Khan has been asked to give the gelding more Gates practice and to show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.
