DUBAI STAR which arrived late to the start thereby delaying the proceedings of the race, was slow to begin. As Tr. Rutherford Alford had earlier been warned and fined for late arrival of his charges, he was issued a final warning to ensure that his mounts reach the start on time failing which further disciplinary action will be initiated against him. KAY STAR was slow to begin.

GHYAMA (R Shelar) and DUBAI STAR (Imran Chisty) could not keep up with the pace in the initial stages of the race.

GHYAMA dropped out of contention from about the 500 metres of the race. Tr. Shyam S Habbu was advised not to accept with his charge until capable of a better performance.

Jockey Shivam (CYRENAICA) reported that his mount drifted to the outer rails passing the distance post. The Veterinary Officer was requested to examine the mare and submit his report. On examination the mare was found to be trotting sound.

On the morning of Thursday, 2nd January, 2025 DUBAI STAR was examined by the Veterinary Officer and found to be lame on right fore. Tr. Rutherford Alford was advised not to accept with his charge until certified fit by the Veterinary Officer.
