After being stalled, FIRENZE (Dashrath Singh) kicked the rear gates. The filly was taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O. and found to have bleeding injury on the inner side of the left hock and abrasion on the outer side of the right hock. As such, FIRENZE was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order. The trainer is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the filly from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting with her to race.
 
MERABELLA (M. A. Roushan) jumped out slow losing about 4 lengths at the start. Trainer Faisal A. Abbas has been asked to give the mare more gate practice and show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.
 
Passing 700 metres, ODESSA (P. S. Chouhan) shifted in thereby tightening GREY FLANNEL (P. Trevor) along the rails forcing the Jockey to check his mount. On questioning, Jockey P. S. Chouhan stated that his mount shied inwards despite his efforts due to the close proximity of MAGNUM OPUS (N. B. Kuldeep).
 
After the race, MAGNUM OPUS was found to be sore by the right fore leg. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.
 
After the race, ODESSA, SPARKLING EYES, MADURO and MERABELLA were trotted and found to be sound.
 
The Equine Hospital reported that on a request from the Trainer, ODESSA was scoped after the race and found to have EIPH grade II.
