At the start, SO TRUE (V.Chandrakant, dr.4) jumped awkwardly outwards and at the same time DEEP DIVER (Shrikant Kamble, dr.6) jumped awkwardly inwards and tightened BARRINGO (R.Woodworth, dr.5). Due to the impact, SO TRUE shifted in and jostled with YOU’RE THE BOSS (App.B.Nikhil, dr. 3) who shifted out as EMPEROR OF FRANCE (C S Jodha, dr. 2) shifted outwards.

Near 400 metres, EMPEROR OF FRANCE (C.S.Jodha) leaned outwards and went on to SEA TREASURE (App.S.G.Prasad) who in turn went on to EMERALD VALLEY (R.Vaibhav).

DEEP DIVER (Shrikant Kamble) hung-out in the final stages of the race. Trainer Altamaash A.Ahmed has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.

Jockey Shrikant Kamble (DEEP DIVER) was observed to have used his whip in excess of the prescribed limit. Since the gelding hung-out in the straight and the whip was used as a corrective measure no action has been initiated.

Jockey Neeraj Rawal (ONE KEPT SECRET) has been fined Rs 2,000/- for improper use of the whip wherein he has persisted with the use of whip with his right hand thereby allowing his mount to shift outside, losing valuable ground.

After the race, SO TRUE was observed to have broken a blood vessel and is not to race for the stipulated ban period of four weeks. The mare has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

After the race, DEEP DIVER was found to be sound.

The Sr.V.O. reported that SEA TREASURE was examined at the stables in the morning on 19/01/2014 and found to be sore by the right fore leg. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.
