Trainers Magansingh P.Jodha and Narendra Lagad have been asked to give their respective charge more gate practice and show them to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race. Jockey Dashrath Singh (DREAM YUGA) reported that he could not follow his Instructions which were to go to the front as the mare jumped out slowly. Trainer Magansingh P.Jodha was questioned regarding the comparative performance of his charge ADAMS WING in this race which the filly won as compared to its previous runs. The Trainer stated that he did not expect the win since he had not given the filly a chance considering her performance in the previous starts and also there were some horses who had some form coming into this race. He added that this was a weaker set as the 2nd placed horse, GUNS N ROSES, was an 8 year old. He said that probably the going suited his filly and since she was close to the front runners, it was to her advantage as the horses found it difficult to come from behind. He further added that he had run the filly as it was last of the Race days and the filly was available at longer odds. The explanation was noted. Trainer Rehanullah Khan was questioned regarding the performance of his charge GUNS N ROSES coupled with the drift in odds. The Trainer said that his instructions were to go to the front.
