As such, at the behest of the Stipendiary Stewards, a Stewards enquiry was initiated into the above incident. Subsequently, there was also an Objection lodged by Trainer Narendra Lagad reason being “as the Jockey of SKY FULL OF STARS was not ready and the start was given, SKY FULL OF STARS ran across, checked his horse SAMSON which had to slow down as the fault is of the Starter, bets on SAMSON should be refunded”.
