Trainer Mr. Rakesh was questioned as to the performance of his charge, ICE WEAPON (Ajeet Kumar), and also, as to the reason for the horse’s running as a well fancied first favourite in the above Race. The Trainer stated that (a) the horse has been gradually coming down in rating; (b) it ran a decent race along with Bangalore based horses during the month of September, 2013, wherein it finished Fourth and today, it was running in a relatively inferior company and (c) with a three kgs. allowance that the rider could claim, he thought that it had a very good chance of winning this Race and that is why he fancied it; (d) but, he was totally disappointed with the poor performance of his charge. While noting his explanation, he was cautioned to be more judicious as to the placement and running of his charges in future.

It was reported after the race that DISTANT PROMISE (A Vishwanath) had apparently lost its hind shoe during the Race.
