Permission was granted to Trainer Zulfiqar Khan to substitute Jockey S Amjad Khan to ride ASMI in place of Jockey Nitin Singh  the declared rider.

Prior to ‘ALL CLEAR’ being declared Jockey Dashrath Singh the rider of   ASHWA GRACE requested to view the race video with a view to consider lodging an objection. After viewing the video Jockey Dashrath Singh  decided to proceed with an objection and accordingly an  objection was lodged by Jockey  Dashrath Singh the rider of ASHWA GRACE placed fourth  by the Judge against Jockey S A Shah the rider of CAPTAIN COOL  placed second  by the Judge for “ Jockey S A Shah running over the rails , saw me and intentionally came onto me bumped me taking my ground give me check at 70 mts from the winning post and I got unbalanced and check my mount and that cost certain race”. The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the race interviewed the Jockeys concerned and after deliberations, considering the opinion expressed by the Stipendiary Steward and based on the observation of the race the Stewards were satisfied that an alteration to the placings could  be justified. Therefore, they decided to uphold  the objection and the revised order of placings as under:-

TAKE OVER TARGET –   I
ASMI                      -    II
ASHWA GRACE        -   III
CAPTAIN COOL        -   IV

CAPTAIN COOL ( S A Shah) was observed to be running erratic from the 100 mts  of the race and drifted to the outer portion of the race track , in view of its  behavior, Trainer H A Khan was informed not to accept with his charge until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Steward in one mock race on a race day on the race track.

Urine sample was taken from the winner TAKE OVER TARGET in the presence of  Trainer  Mallikarjun  and was sent for analytical test.
