SUNRAIDER (Shailesh Shinde) was fractious while being stalled.

The Stipendiary Stewards held an enquiry into the tardy start of  b g STALKER (App Vikash Tamang, drawn 1) and interviewed Tr. Patrick Quinn, App Vikash Tamang and his master Tr. Rodrigues Jr.  Mr. Patrick Quinn stated that he was displeased with the riding of the apprentice in so far as the start of the race was concerned and the subsequent wide negotiation of the bend by his charge.  Tr. Rodrigues Jr. informed the Stipendiary Stewards that he will not be permitting the apprentice to ride this gelding again as there had been earlier complaints by the concerned trainer against the apprentice whenever he rode the gelding.  App Vikash Tamang stated that he was instructed to be positioned 4^th/5^th in the early stages of the race and it was for this reason he restrained his horse momentarily at the start and concluded by stating that thereafter despite his best efforts in the early stages the gelding did not adequately respond.  The Stipendiary Stewards informed App Vikash Tamang that he must make every sincere effort to improve his understanding of race riding and once again advised him to report to Mr. N Bird, the Jockey Coach for appropriate  corrective measures. 

b m RIVER DIVINE (Afzal Hossain) and b f SMASHING ONE (App Md Azharuddin) ran detached from the field in the early and middle stages of the race.  In view of their performance, Trs. Bharath Singh and Shafiq Khan were informed not to accept with their respective charges until shown to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in a mock race.

App Vikash Tamang, the rider of STALKER, was reprimanded for dropping his hands before passing the winning post.

App Vikash Tamang, the rider of STALKER, reported loss of whip approaching the 300 metres.
