Jockeys B R Kumar (VITAL SIGN) and Mukesh Kumar (PETRA ACT) were cautioned for shifting in and out respectively soon after the start in the process tightening the runners drawn in between.
 
Explanation of Jockey Mukesh Kumar (PETRA ACT) in the presence of Trainer Magan Singh Parmar that his instructions were to sit close with front runners which he tried to follow until entering the straight and thereafter when asked for an effort, his mount did not show any turn of foot and started dropping back from about 300 mtrs inspite of his best efforts. The Trainer while confirming the above stated that he too was baffled with the running of his charge. The Trainer added that he fancied his charge and was on money favourite.  The Trainer further added that he had no plausible explanation to offer to his charges dismal performance was noted for future reference.  Subsequent Veterinary examination revealed that the filly was trotting sound after the race.
