At the request of Trainer Hosidar Daji, AURORA AUSTRALIS was examined at 1020 hours on 30/03/2018 and was found to have abrasions on the left knee and hock and was sore by the left hind leg. As such, the mare was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn on Veterinary grounds. The mare has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

After being stalled, COLLEGIUM (R. Ajinkya) 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 S. K. Sunderji 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 CECILIA (J. Chinoy, dr. 8) jumped outwards on to GOLDEN WEAVER (App. K. Nazil, dr. 9).

Approaching 1000 metres, TALLY HO (Dashrath Singh) dropped back thereby causing GOLDEN WEAVER (App. K. Nazil) to check and change course. After the race, Jockey Dashrath Singh reported that soon after the start he found his mount uncomfortable and not striding freely and as such he had steadied him and did not ride out.

Passing 1000 metres, SHE’S A TIGER (P. Trevor) shifted out and went across ADAMS BEGINNING (Kuldeep Singh) who had to be steadied.

Passing 100 metres, HUDSON (App. H. Zeeshan) shifted out and went across SASSY LASS (Amyn Merchan), who had to be steadied.

An enquiry has been initiated into the running and riding of HUDSON (App. H. Zeeshan) and a report will be submitted shortly.

In the straight, THEOBROMA (Kishore Kadam), SASSY LASS (Amyn Merchant) and GOLDEN WEAVER (App. K. Nazil) were observed to have hung out. Trainers Shazaan Shah, Asad Siddiqui and Hosidar Daji have been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race their respective charge.

After the race, HUDSON, GOLDEN WEAVER, SASSY LASS, THEOBROMA and TALLY HO were trotted and found to be sound.
