After the horses being loaded into the individual gates a handler jumped over to hold the horse from where the battery and lever are placed wherein he accidently touched the lever and the gates got opened wherein few horses bolted out of that GO GET THEM (Ranjeet Singh) & JINGLE DINGLE (Dhanu Singh Deora)  bolted riderless  and completed the course. With the consent of Trainers Sartaj Singh & I S Parmar the horses were withdrawn before coming under starter’s order. It was also observed that the mechanics of the barriers were in no way defective.

SARAGON (M B Qureshi) which was loaded after the premature start was very fractious inside the staring stall wherein it was removed and examined by the Club’s Veterinary Officer who certified it was lame on left hind as such it was withdrawn before coming under Starter’s orders. Trainer I S Parmar was advised a veterinary certificate of fitness would be required prior to presenting for future trial or race.
