After being stalled, ASTERION (Antony Raj S., dr.8) was fractious and lashed out at the back gates. Subsequently, the gelding was taken out, got loose in the process and was apprehended at  the 1400 metres chute. As such, the gelding was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order. Trainer Karthik Ganapathy has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the gelding to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, PALOMA (Yash Narredu, dr.7) jumped inwards at the same time WYOMING (T. S. Jodha, dr.6) jumped outwards and they made contact.

Soon after the start, CHAKAR VIEW (Akshay Gaikwad) shifted in under urgings and went across PALOMA (Yash Narredu) causing the latter to be checked. After questioning and not being satisfied with the explanation, Jockey Akshay Gaikwad has been fined Rs.2,000/- for shifting in before the red marker.

Approaching the 300 metres, LUMINEER (A. S. Peter) drifted out and went across NINE SPEED (N. S. Parmar). After the race on questioning, Jockey A. S. Peter stated that his mount was inclined outwards in the straight, despite his efforts. This being the first run of the filly, no action has been initiated.

After the race, the Jockey’s reported the following:

Jockey A. Sandesh (ORGANISED CHAOS) reported that his mount was running green throughout the race. Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha has been asked to take remedial measures, before next accepting to race.

Jockey P. Trevor (FUNNY BUNNY) reported that his saddle slipped passing the 100 metres. This being the first instance of faulty saddling during the current Mumbai Meeting 2025/26, Trainer P. S. Chouhan has been fined Rs.2,000/-. Further, Jockey P. Trevor reported also that his mount was inclined outwards in the straight, despite his efforts. In view of a similar behavior of the filly in her last start, Trainer P. S. Chouhan has been asked to show his charge in a mock race to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards, before next accepting to race.

After the race, the Chief V.O. reported the following:
