There was a dual declaration of Jockey Dashrath Singh by Trainer Altaf Hussain on CLOUDS OF GLORY and by Trainer Narendra Lagad on PHOENIX CAT. After questioning all concerned, Trainer Altaf Hussain has been fined Rs.1,000/- for declaring Jockey Dashrath Singh on his charge CLOUDS OF GLORY without his consent. Subsequently, he was permitted to declare Jockey C. S. Jodha.
 
FINAL ENCOUNTER (P. Trevor) played up in the stall. The gelding was taken out and examined by the Club’s V.O. who certified him fit to race. Trainer S. K. Sunderji 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, MAGNUM OPUS (App. Bhawani Singh, dr.5) jumped out inwards and made contact with MONZA (App. Parbat Singh, dr.4).
 
Soon after the start, ETERNAL ROYALTY (A. Sandesh) shifted in and went across PHOENIX CAT ( Dashrath Singh), who had to be steadied.
 
Approaching 1000 metres, SUGAR BAY (J. Chinoy) shifted in on to MAGNUM OPUS (App. Bhawani Singh), who in turn shifted in on to MOUNT RUSHMORE (N. S. Parmar) and STAND AND DANCE (App. Yash Narredu), due to which STORMY PRINCESS (App. N. B. Kuldeep) was tightened along the rails and dropped back. Jockey J. Chinoy has been cautioned.
 
At about 150 metres, PHOENIX FIRE (Colm O’Donoghue) shifted out and had to be steadied.
 
Jockey S. K. Jadhav (CANNONBALL RUN) was observed to have dropped his hands before passing the Winning Post which possibly cost him the fourth place. After questioning Jockey S. K. Jadhav and not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by him, his Jockey’s license has been suspended for 30th January 2016 (permitted to ride work/mock race).
 
After the race, STORMY PRINCESS was found to be sound. SUGAR BAY had lost its right hind plate.
