After being stalled, ZAFFERANO (P. Trevor, dr.1) reared up and put his fore legs in the adjacent stall, hence, the colt was taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O., who certified him fit to race.

OLIVER (Vivek G., dr.2) was reluctant to be stalled. Trainer P. Shroff has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the colt to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED (Y. S. Srinath, dr.8) jumped inwards and made contact with BEZALEL (A. Sandesh, dr.7) thereafter SURREALIST (K. Nazil, dr.6) leaned outwards onto BEZALEL at the same time SOVEREIGN KING (C. S. Jodha, dr.9) shifted in due to which CHALLENGE ACCEPTED and BEZALEL were tightened and had to be checked.

Approaching the 300 metres, VICTORIOUS OMEN (A. Prakash) shifted out and went across OLIVER (Vivek G.) causing the latter to check and change course. Jockey A. Prakash has been cautioned.

Passing the 300 metres, GIANT GOLD (Antony Raj S.) weakened, dropped back and leaned outwards thereby inconveniencing GOLDEN DANCER (Akshay Kumar) who had to check and change course. Jockey Antony Raj S. has been cautioned.

After the race, ZAFFERANO was trotted and found to be sound.

After the race, SOVEREIGN KING was trotted and found to be sound but was observed to have a gum injury and a wolf tooth on left side. Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha has been asked to take remedial measures.
