As Jockey M.D. Praveen was certified medically unfit to ride, permission was granted to trainer Mr. Ranjeet Shinde to substitute Jockey G. Adarsh to ride RUBELLITE in place of the declared rider.

TRUTHANDFAITH (A Vishwanath) accidentally brushed the false rails, approaching the 1000 Metres.

Jockey S John, the rider of MONEY BAY, placed Second by the Judge, objected against Jockey S Shiva Kumar, the rider of NOUGHTSANDCROSSES, placed First, for “coming onto me deliberately in the last 250 Metres and bumped me, thereby, my horse was unbalanced and I had to make a rerun”. The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the Race and examined the Jockeys concerned. After deliberations, they decided to uphold the objection and revise the order of placings as under:

MONEY BAY         I
NOUGHTSANDCROSSES       II
VOICE OF INDIA        III
TRUTHANDFAITH        IV
MR SUNRISE         V

Jockey S Shiva Kumar, the rider of NOUGHTSANDCROSSES, was fined Rs.5,000/- for shifting ‘out’ and causing very severe interference to MONEY BAY (S John), on his outside, passing the 250 Metres.

It was reported after the Race that ADMIRANDA (Vijay Kumar) pulled up lame on right fore. Trainer Mr. C V G K Kishore was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club’s Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.

TRUTHANDFAITH (A Vishwanath) sustained cut injury on right stifle.
