NO WORRY arrived late to the start thereby delaying the proceedings of the race.

As Tr.Rutherford Alford had earlier been warned for late arrival of his charges, he has now been fined a sum of Rs. 5,000/-.

CHILILADY and FULCRUM were difficult to load.

ZARAFAT (P S Kaviraj, drawn 5) was squeezed at the start by TRES BIEN (S Saqlain, drawn 6) and N R I FANTASY (Mohit Singh, drawn 4).

App Sonu Mishra (DUBAI STATION) when questioned regarding his riding instructions stated that he was asked to place his mount in 3rd or 4th position and to do his best in the race. The instructions were confirmed by Tr. Patrick Quinn. Not being satisfied with the riding efforts of the apprentice, more so to follow the Trainer’s instructions and for allowing his mount to unnecessarily drift out in the straight, the Stipendiary Stewards decided to suspend App Sonu Mishra from riding in races on 12th January & 17th January, 2025 for the indifferent handling of his mount. Since App Sonu Mishra had earlier been fined for similar kind of riding, Master Trainer Dr. Anil Kumar has been advised to be more discreet while permitting his apprentice to ride in races.
 
ASAGIRI (Suraj Narredu) clipped the heels of TRES BIEN (S Saqlain) and stumbled losing position passing the 800 metres when Jockey Suraj Narredu tried to steady his mount in a tightly packed field. As it could not be established that any rider was to be blamed for the same, no action beyond noting the incident was taken.

Post race endoscopy of N R I FANTASY revealed that the mare was suffering from EIPH Gr – 4. Tr. Paramjit S Jubbal has been advised not to accept with his charge until certified fit by the Veterinary Officer.
