SHIVALIK BOY (T.S. Jodha) was slowly away losing a few lengths.

Permission was granted to trainer Mr. Pradeep Annaiah to withdraw PROUDPRINCE (Harish) on veterinary grounds as it was found to be suffering from colic. He was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club’s Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.

ZAALIM (Nitin Singh) was fractious on the way to the starting gates, dropped the rider and ran round the course riderless.  Under the circumstances it was permitted to be withdrawn on veterinary grounds before coming under Starter’s orders.

At the start INDIAN BRAHMOS (V.R. Jagadeesh), FANTASY QUEEN (M. Noornabi) and JERSEY WONDER (Nazerul Alam) bumped.

Near the 900 SWAKSHA (Chetan Kalay S) shifted out bumping FANTASY QUEEN (M. Noornabi).

Jockey Suraj Narredu and trainer Mr. Darius Byramji were questioned over the performance of NEW PRINCE. The Jockey stated that his instructions were to sit 4th or 5th which he did and was travelling behind the winner. When SPIRIT AND TRUTH (M. Prabhakaran) sprinted he could not go with him at the 500 Metres and the horse failed to respond. The trainer corroborated the statement of the Jockey and added that he would try his charge with the pair of blinkers in its next start. The horse was impounded for veterinary examination. On examination the Club’s Veterinary Officer reported that it had burst its blood vessels (endoscopy Grade IV at 3.55 p.m.). Trainer Mr. Darius Byramji was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club’s Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.

SWAKSHA (Chetan Kalay S) was found to be bleeding from mouth due to broken lower jaw tooth.  

Routine Sample was taken for analysis from the winner b g SPIRIT AND TRUTH.
