After being stalled, RAMBLER (S.G.Prasad) ducked the front gates and ran breaking the front barrier. In the process, Jockey S.G.Prasad was hurt and indisposed, as such RAMBLER was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s Order. The horses which were stalled were off loaded and were re-stalled once the track was cleared. Trainer Shazaan Shah 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.

Soon after the start, AURODEN (N. B. Kuldeep, dr.4) leaned inwards due to which SPEED AIR (P. S. Chouhan, dr.3) shifted in and at the same time TWINSPIRE (Dashrath Singh, dr.1) shifted out due to which FIFTY GRAND (App. Malam Singh, dr.2) was tightened for room and had to be checked. Thereafter, FIFTY GRAND shifted in and brushed the railings due to which App. Malam Singh lost his stirrups momentarily.

Approaching 300 metres, PRINCESS ANNABEL (Bhawani Singh) shifted out under urgings and went across GOSHAWK (Vikram Walkar) who had to be steadied. Jockey Bhawani Singh has been cautioned.

The Sr. V.O. reported that AURODEN was declared to run without bandages but ran with bandages on both fore legs. Trainer Shazaan Shah has been fined Rs.1,000/- for his lapse.

After the race, RAMBLER was observed to have a gum injury. AURODEN was found to be sound in the trot.
