ETERNAL ROYALTY (A.Sandesh) and LANCELOT (S.Sunil) were restless in the stall. Trainers S.S.Shah and Faisal A.Abbas have been asked to give their respective charge more gate practice and show them to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

Trainer H.J.Antia has been fined Rs.1,000/- for accepting with his charge SPEED BABY in two races on the same day. The horse was struck out from this race, being second of the two Handicap races as published in the Handicaps.

At the start, LEX LUTHOR (Kavraj Singh, dr.8) jumped awkwardly inwards and at the same time REALITY (I.Pasha, dr.5) jumped awkwardly inwards, due to which GASCONY (App.Bhawani Singh, dr.6) and  ANCIENT TREASURE (App.K.N.Bhati, dr.7) were tightened.

Jockey A.Ashhad Asbar (MONTAIN WIND, dr.15) has been cautioned for shifting in before the Red Marker.

Approaching 300 metres, ADVANCE TO CONTACT (Dashrath Singh) was held up as KICKBOXER (App.G.Amit) shifted across inwards and then the former was ridden in check till about 150 metres from the Post due to lack of room.Soon after the start, LIGHT OF ARABIA (Darren Williams) was tightened due to a tightly packed field and lost position.

Passing 800 metres, ANCIENT TREASURE (App K N Bhati) put in an awkward stride due to which the Apprentice lost his balance and was dislodged.

After the race, ANCIENT TREASURE was found to be sound.
