It was observed that TOOFAAN (App. S. Siddharth) was brought to the paddock sporting the wrong saddle. Trainer Sangramsinh N. Joshi was immediately asked to re-saddle his charge after duly weighing-out. The Stipendiary Stewards are looking into the same and a report will be submitted shortly.
 
On arrival at the starting gates, at the request of Jockey S. G. Prasad, TALKING POINT was examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O., who certified him fit to race.
 
At the start, MAJOR SAAB (Amyn Merchant, dr.8) jumped inwards at the same time TALKING POINT (S. G. Prasad, dr.6) jumped outwards thereby tightening PURPLE MARTINI (Nirmal Jodha, dr.7) thereafter LEO THE LION (A. Prakash, dr.9) leaned inwards thereby bumping MAJOR SAAB who had to be steadied. Jockey A. Prakash has been cautioned.
 
Passing the 1000 metres, GOLDEN RULE (Vishal N. Bunde) leaned in onto WE STILL BELIEVE (App. Haridas Gore) who had to be steadied due to which SAMSON (C. Umesh) racing on its haunches brushed the rails and had to be checked. Jockey Vishal N. Bunde has been cautioned.
 
Approaching the 700 metres, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (App. Aditya Waydande) leaned inwards onto WE STILL BELIEVE (App. Haridas Gore) who in turn  shifted in thereby tightening and  inconveniencing  SAMSON (C. Umesh) racing along the rails. After questioning and not being satisfied, App Aditya Waydande has been fined Rs.2,000/-.
