At the start, UNTITLED (Hanumant Singh, dr.4) jumped out tardily and shifted out on to JUNOON (B. Nikhil, dr.5) who was also slow to begin. At the same time, TIME OF MY LIFE (App. K. Nazil, dr.6) shifted in and bumped UNTITLED.  App K. Nazil has been cautioned.
 
Soon after the start, TIME OF MY LIFE (App. K. Nazil) shifted in and went across SMOKY HAZE (App. S. A. Amit) whereby App. S. A. Amit was forced to check his mount and change course.
 
Approaching 700 metres, KING OF KILLEN (Dashrath Singh) shifted in thereby tightening SMOKEY ROSES (S. K. Jadhav) along the rails who had to be checked and dropped back, due to which  TIME OF MY LIFE (App. K. Nazil) who was racing on its heels, stumbled, unbalancing the rider. Jockey Dashrath Singh has been suspended for one day i. e on 6th January, 2017 for careless riding (permitted to ride work/mock race).
 
After the race, Jockey N. S. Parmar (SALVATORE MUNDI) reported that his mount maintained an erratic course in the straight. In view of the same, Trainer Vishal Gaikwad has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.
