DANCE SMARTLY (App.M.Ayyar) was reluctant to be stalled. Since the filly had behaved in a similar manner earlier, Trainer C.Rajendra has been asked to take remedial measures and show the filly to the satisfaction of the Starter in a Mock Race, before next accepting to race. In the process of DANCE SMARTLY being stalled, VICTORIOUS SPIRIT (Akshay Kumar) who was in the adjoining stall, rushed the front gate. The filly was taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr.V.O. who certified her fit to race. Thereafter, Jockey Akshay Kumar informed that the saddle on his mount was displaced. The same was adjusted and the filly was stalled. STARRINGO (App.K.Nazil) jumped out slow losing about 5 lengths at the start. Trainer Dallas Todywalla has been asked to give the filly more gate practice and show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race. Soon after the start, GOD’S DECREE (A.Sandesh) shifted in and went across DANCE SMARTLY (App.M.Ayyar) who had to be steadied. Jockey A.Sandesh has been cautioned. After the race, DANCE SMARTLY was found to be sore by the left fore leg and GOD’S DECREE was found to be sore by the left hind leg. Both the horses have to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race. After the race, VALIANT STAR was observed to have an abrasion at the left hind fetlock and VICTORIOUS SPIRIT had a gum injury. ARMAITY was found to be sound in the trot.
