An objection was lodged by Jockey P.Trevor,  rider of  SANTA BARBARA (Placed Third) against SUPERLICIOUS (Neeraj Rawal,, Placed Second). The reason being, at about 200 metres his filly started moving when SUPERLICIOUS (Neeraj Rawal) shifted out, due to which he had to check his mount and stop riding, which cost him a certain second place.

After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards  and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to overrule the objection.

At the start, CAPILANO (N.S.Parmar, dr.4) jumped awkwardly inwards and went on to KALDENO (D.A.Naik, dr.3), who went on to SUPERLICIOUS (Neeraj Rawal, dr.2).

Jockey R.Vaibhav (UMARKOT) has been cautioned for allowing his mount to shift out under the use of the whip near 200 metres and in the process forcing SUPERLICIOUS (Neeraj Rawal) to shift out.

SKYWALK (S.Sunil) lugged out while negotiating the bend. The Sr.V.O. was requested to examine the gelding and he reported that SKYWALK was found to be sound but having wolf tooth on the left side.  Trainer Altaf Hussain has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.

After the race, STEADFAST was observed to have broken a blood vessel and is not to race for the stipulated period of 4 weeks. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s VO before next accepting to race.

After the race, CAPILANO, UMARKOT and SUPERLICIOUS were found to be sound. HEATWAVE was observed to have a cut injury at the right hind bulb of heel and UMARKOT had a cut injury at the left hind pastern and fetlock.
