The kickback on the track had made life impossible for both horses and riders who chose to play the waiting game in races run during the day. After going through the ordeal in the first five races, the jockeys finally decided not to ride any further fearing injuries to themselves and their mounts. The jockey's demand was backed by the trainers too and on being told about this development, the RWITC Stewards immediately held a meeting and expectedly decided to call off the last three races in the card.

All was going well till then for the punters though Constantia did surprise them a bit in the third race. Earlier Belle Chose (Tirol-Chicory) from veteran S.S. Shah's stables finally hit the bull's eye as apprentice Raju Singh drove her to a comfortable win over All Or Nothing, Maranello and Open Season who were huddled together and disputing the issue right from the word go. Arabian Hero ran an uninterested fifth throughout the journey and probably had decided to do serious business on some other day.

The piping hot favourite Annot (Diffident-Mogul Madness) gave no anxious moments to her admirers as she pulverised her opposition in the hands of P. Kamlesh to make it two in a row this season. Pesi Shroff's ward won untroubled from Oyster Gem and The Rising with Stunning Star dropping out of contention to finish a poor fifth.

Constantia (Indictment-Number Thirty) was ridden to a confident victory by Zameer Sayyed over Fall Of The Hammer who made a desperate attempt to catch the winner in the home stretch but conceding weight to Constantia made her task impossible. Favourite Rare Look never gave a semblance of a fight and so did Simply Smashing who burst her blood vessels during the race. Empirical (Greensmith-Victory And Gold) made full use of the handicap advantage as jockey P. S. Chouhan guided S. Ganapathy's ward to a facile win over Pine Crest. Rosenkavalier and Star Galaxy kept a low profile while Glorious Fantasy made her bid quite late to end fourth. She will be too good to miss in her next venture.
