MAD HATTER (Kishore Kadam) played up in the stall and in the process its saddle was displaced. The gelding was examined by the Club’s V.O. who certified him fit to race. However, since the whole field was stalled, re-saddling was not an option as it would further delay the start, as such, MAD HATTER was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order. Trainer A. M. Jadhav has been asked to give the gelding more gate practice and show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.
 
At the start, ALIBOXER (App. S. J. Sunil dr. 5) shifted in and made contact with EVIDENCE (P. Trevor dr. 4) who then shifted in on to PHOENIX KNIGHT (A. Sandesh dr. 3) who in turn went onto RASHEEKA (J. E. Pereira dr. 2).
 
At the start, MILLER RANGE (Shrikant Kamble dr. 7) and SANSA (App. D. M. Ayyar dr. 9) shifted out and in respectively and made contact.
 
PHOENIX KNIGHT (A. Sandesh) was observed to have hung-in in the straight despite the Jockey’s best efforts and in the last 50 metres went across ELSA (Dashrath Singh) inconveniencing the latter.
 
Due to PHOENIX KNIGHT (A. Sandesh) hanging in, EVIDENCE (P. Trevor) shied inwards, and scrapped the railings. Tr. Dallas Todywalla has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.
 
After the race, App. S. Mosin (GLORIOUS GIFT) reported that his mount hung out in the straight. Trainer Adil Dajee has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.
 
After the race, PHOENIX KNIGHT and GLORIOUS GIFT were found to be sound.
