The Sr. V.O. reported that on the way to the Starting Gate, CLOUDBURST was kicked by SPINNING GOLD. As the gelding had sustained bleeding injury on the left fore arm, he was certified unfit to race and hence withdrawn on veterinary grounds before coming under the Starter’s Order. The Trainer is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the gelding from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting with it to race.

After being stalled, ABU AL BUKHOOSH (Amyn Mercyhant) 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. Trainer Faisal A. Abbas has been asked to give the gelding more gate practice and show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, GANDALF (Bhawani Singh dr. 12) jumped outwards on to GNOSTIC EYES (Y. S. Srinath dr. 13) thereafter shifted in and made contact with CISTICOLA (App. S. A. Amit dr. 10).

Passing the 300 metres, STAR ACE (Neeraj Rawal) racing between ABU AL BUKHOOSH (Amyn Merchant) and ROMANTIC EYES (P. Trevor) was tightened for room and had to be steadied.

Passing the 200 metres, GANDALF (Bhawani Singh) shifted in on to ABU AL BUKHOOSH (Amyn Merchant) who in turn shifted in thereby tightening ROMANTIC EYES (P. Trevor) who had to be steadied Jockey Bhawani Singh has been cautioned.

After the race, CISTICOLA, GNOSTIC EYES, STAR SCHOLAR, SPINNING GOLD and CARE FREE (examined on 04/02/2018), were trotted and found to be sound.
