GOLD BAR (Shrikant Kamble, dr.5) was reluctant to be stalled. As such, Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the filly to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

ASKARI (S. Zervan, dr.4) lost about a length at the start.

At the start, LORD AND MASTER (S. Mosin, dr.2) jumped inwards and went across JURACAN (Akshay Kumar, dr.1) who was marginally slow to begin

Soon after the start, GOLD BAR (Shrikant Kamble) shifted out, at the same time FLOYD (T. S. Jodha) shifted in and they made contact due to the incident EKATARINA (Neeraj Rawal) racing between them was tightened and had to be steadied.

Passing the 400 metres, GIANT GOLD (Yash Narredu) shifted out thereby bumping and forcing GOLD BAR (Shrikant Kamble) outwards at the same time TAJIRI (P. Trevor) shifted in under urgings and went across HAGIBIS (S. A. Amit) and GOLD BAR causing both horses to be checked. After questioning all concerned Jockey’s Yash Narredu and P. Trevor have been fined Rs.3,000/- each.

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