At the request of Jockey P Trevor, CIGAR GALAXY was re-saddled at the start.
MOST AND MORE was fractious in its stall.

JIMMY BEE was slow to begin.

Jockey Antony Raj S (BLACK DIAMOND) reported that he could not place his mount in a better position soon after the jump out as the outsiders came in, was noted.

Tr. Vijay Singh and Jockey Suraj Narredu when questioned regarding the running and riding of b g ANIGRAHA, the Trainer stated that :-

a) “I mentioned to him that the horse is a little tardy in his jump so try and take a level jump with him and gradually get him into the race as when pushed to get his position he tends to get out of it. Sit wherever he finds himself comfortable and gradually improve and to do his best.

b) In my opinion he was travelling well till before he came into the straight and got taken wide by the horse on his inside so instead of going wider he brought him in and rode him out but could not finish better than where he finished in the end”.
Jockey Suraj Narredu stated that :-

a) I was asked to jump and sit where ever comfortable, I was informed the horse does not have enough gate speed so to see whatever best I can do and come in the straight and do my best.

b) My horse did not jump too well and within 3-4 strides IMMORTAL BEAUTY drawn 4 has immediately come in front of me and took away all my chances of getting into a better position and then the entire field was bunched up in front of me. So I gave my horse a chance to come onto the bit and find his rhythm. Passing the 800 mts I started to gradually improve my position and tried to come closer to the front runners.

c) Upon entering the straight Jockey Varun on CLEVER HANS moved across me, taking me wide and I had to check my mount momentarily to avoid clipping the heels (which I reported).

d) Thereafter we could not improve much and just finished there abouts.
Their explanations were noted.
