On the way to the starting gates the right fore shoe of SUPERSTAR SUPREME (J. E. Pereira) was observed to have come off thereafter the horse was brought back to the saddling enclosure and re-shod.
 
SUPERSTAR SUPREME (J. E. Pereira) was reluctant to reach the starting point. Trainer M. Narredu has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.
 
After being stalled, COSA NOSTRA (C. S. Jodha) played up in the stall. The gelding was taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O. who certified him fit to race. In the process, YUTAKA (Vikram Jodha) also played up in the stall and put his head in the adjoining stall. YUTAKA was also taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O. who certified him fit to race.
 
After being re-stalled, COSA NOSTRA played up again and put one of its fore in the adjoining stall, as such, the gelding was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order. ARASHI (A. Sandesh) who was in the adjoining stall was also taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O. who certified her fit to race.
 
In view of above, Trainers Faisal A. Abbas and S. K. Sunderji have been asked to give their respective charge, COSA NOSTRA and YUTAKA more gate practice and show them to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.
 
After the race, SUPERSTAR SUPREME, YUTAKA, LADY ALMEDA and ARASHI (examined on 20/08/2017) were trotted and found to be sound.
