THREATONE (Shailesh Shinde) and ALEXA (Pintu Das) were slow to begin.

Some distance after the start EXPLORER’S QUEST (App Mohit Singh) was inconvenienced when SCORSESE (App Vikash Tamang) shifted ‘outwards’ and  further SCORSESE when approaching the distance post drifted to the outer portion of the race track.  App Vikash Tamang was cautioned to exercise greater control over his mounts in future.

Passing the distance post CORSICA (Gajender Singh) drifted to the outer portion of the track.

Jockey Jugnu Gurung, the rider of SILVER GUEST, was fined a sum of Rs.  1,000/- for the excessive use of the whip on his mount (1^st offence).

Tr. Vikash Jaiswal when questioned regarding the improved performance of his charge b g ROYAL COUNTY DOWN as compared to its previous run in Race No. 121 run on 1^st October, 2011 where it finished unplaced, stated that :-

1. The gelding was now competing with horses of a similar caliber i.e., non-winners.
2. Jockey Gajender Singh, the rider in Race No. 121, was fined for failing to improve his position and for travelling wide while negotiating the bend and, therefore, today he had declared a more competent rider.      In his opinion the above reasoning enabled the gelding to perform better.

The Stipendiary Stewards while noting his explanations, informed Tr. Vikash Jaiswal that the performance and running pattern of his charges will be closely monitored.
