LAND OF PLENTY (App. Ramswarup, dr.4) refused to be stalled despite substantial efforts and was permitted to be withdrawn before coming under the Starters order. Trainer Subhag Singh has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the colt in a Mock Race to the satisfaction of the Starter, before next accepting to race.
 
EXUMA (N. S. Parmar, dr.3) lost about a length at the start.
 
An objection was lodged by Jockey A. Sandesh, the rider of GOLDEN DANCER (Placed 2nd) by the Judge against Jockey P. Trevor, the rider of TIEPOLO (Placed 1st) by the Judge. The reason being, “in the last 200 metres TIEPOLO bumped him three times unbalancing his mount, thereby losing its strides, couldn’t use the whip and lost a certain race”.
 
After considering the submissions made by both the Jockeys, in conjunction with the Stipendiary Stewards, having viewed the video recording of the race from multiple angles and acting on their own observation of the race, the Stewards noted that the incident was accidental, decided to uphold the objection and revised the order of placing as under:-
 
GOLDEN DANCER               -    FIRST;                  EXUMA                      -    THIRD;
 
TIEPOLO                              -   SECOND;             
 
After the race, GOLDEN DANCER was observed to have an injury on its left hind fetlock.
