EXCELSIOR (Nikhil Naidu) was extremely fractious and refused to be stalled in spite of repeated attempts. Under the circumstances the filly was permitted to be withdrawn before coming under Starter’s orders. The Starting Stall Certificate has been revoked by the Starter.

Jockey Pintu Das, the rider of b f INVINCIBLE ARMY, was reprimanded for taking an unduly long lead during the early and middle stages  of the race  which had an effect  on the eventual performance  of the filly. Mr.  Jasbir Singh, the trainer of the filly,  was advised to ensure that  his charges are run  and ridden in such a manner that leaves no room for query.
 
SWANLITE (S Zervaan) had to be checked by its rider and lost some ground when RATHER TIPPY (Shezad Khan) shifted ‘inwards’ during the final 200 metres of the race. At a subsequent enquiry  Jockey Shezad Khan was shown the CCTV replay of the race and fined a sum of Rs. 1,500/- for his careless riding.
