As Jockey Afsar Khan was certified medically unfit to ride after his ride in the 1st race, permission was granted to trainer Mr. Sharat Kumar to substitute Jockey S. Selvaraj to ride MAVERICAL in place of Jockey Afsar Khan, the declared rider.

SUN IN FRISCO (Nasir Imam) was extremely fractious, reared up and sat down for a considerable period of time and refused to remain in the gates. Under the circumstances it was permitted to be withdrawn before coming under Starter's order.

DIVINE STRIKE (Vinod Shinde) was slowly away and lost a few lengths at the start. In view of its behaviour Trainer Mr. Faraz Arshad was informed that he must not accept with it again until its behaviour improved to satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in one jump out on a starting gate practice day.

Jockey S. Selvaraj, the rider of MAVERICAL, was severely reprimanded for not exercising sufficient control over his mount thereby allowing it to hit the false rails passing the 1000 Metres and BRIGADE'S PASSION (S. John) which was travelling directly behind also had to be checked by its rider to avoid striking the front runner.

Jockey S. Selvaraj, the rider of MAVERICAL, reported that he lost his whip in the final 50 Metres of the race.

JEYEM (Mudassar Nazar) sustained a cut injury on right hind fetlock.
