Permission was granted to Trainer Mr. Rakesh to substitute Jockey J Paswan ride AMARIS in place of Jockey C Umesh, the declared rider. 

CHINA ONE (Irvan Singh) jumped awkwardly 'outwards', thereby, inconveniencing ZAFRAN (S Zervan) on its outside, at the start.

Jockey P P Dhebe, the rider of FJORD, reported that his mount was hanging 'out' throughout the Race; The horse was impounded for veterinary examination, but, no abnormality was reported.

It was observed in the Race that FJORD (P P Dhebe) drifted 'out' badly despite the efforts of the rider to keep it on an even course in spite of sporting equipment such as Hanging Bit; In view of its continued erratic behaviour, Trainer Mr. M Eshwer was informed to take further remedial measures and that he must not accept with it again until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in One Mock Race on a Race Day on the race track. 

Jockey R N Darshan, the rider of FRINGE BENEFIT, placed Third by the Judge, lodged an objection against Jockey P P Dhebe, the rider of FJORD, placed Second by the Judge, for 'from the last 350 Metres, the rider of FJORD drifted 'out' and took my ground and in the last 150 Metres again, he took me out; in the process, I had to stop my riding momentarily, which cost me a Second place'; The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the Race and examined the Jockeys concerned; After deliberations, they decided to Overrule the objection.
