PHENOM (N. S. Parmar, dr. 4) lost about three lengths at the start.  Trainer M. K. Jadhav has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and to show the gelding to the satisfaction of the starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.
 
At the start, KIMIKO (Antony Raj S., dr.9) jumped outwards and had to be steadied.
 
Approaching the 500 metres, due to a tightly packed field, MULTIVERSE (A. Sandesh) was observed to have clipped the heels of BOOSTER SHOT (Askshay Kumar) thereby losing its stride and had to be checked.
 
An objection was lodged by Jockey A. Sandesh (MULTIVERSE) placed 3rd by the Judge against Jockey Akshay Kumar (BOOSTER SHOT) placed 1st by the Judge, reason being Near the 500 metres, there was a gap on the outside of Akshay Kumar that A. Sandesh was taking and at that time Akshay Kumar came out sharply, as such, A. Sandesh had to check his mount thereby breaking his rhythm and subsequently losing a certain win. The Stewards having watched the race in conjunction with the Stipendiary Stewards and acting on their own observations of the race decided to overrule the objection and the placings remained unaltered as declared by the Judge.
 
After the race, Jockey N. S. Parmar (PHENOM) reported that he was held up for room until passing the 400 metres. Further, he stated that his mount was hanging-in in the straight, despite his efforts. As such, Trainer M. K. Jadhav has been asked to take remedial measures, before next accepting to race.
 
After the race, CHAGALL was trotted and found to be sound.
 
The Equine Hospital reported that MULTIVERSE had left eye injury (sore).
