LUCKY DIAMOND (C. S. Jodha, dr.1) was observed to have taken a fly jump throwing its head up as the start was effected.
 
PRECIOSO (T. S. Jodha, dr.3) threw its head up and lost about a length at the start.
 
RED MERLOT (App. Avinash Paswan, dr.6) threw its head up at the start.
 
FLASH MOB (Amyn Merchant, dr.4) threw its head up and jumped out awkwardly at the start.
 
At the start, KAJO (Shrikant Kamble, dr.8) jumped inwards at the same time RED MERLOT (App. Avinash Paswan, dr.6) jumped outwards throwing its head up thereby bumping and tightening CRIMSON PIRATE (D. R. Shubham, dr.7).
 
Soon after the start, MAJESTIC WARRIOR (J. Chinoy) shifted out under urgings thereby bumping and unbalancing CRIMSON PIRATE (D. R. Shuhham) who in turn shifted out thereby bumping and unbalancing FLASHMAN (App. A. .Omkar) as a result STARIA (P. Trevor) racing on their outside was carried outwards, due to this incident KAJO (Shrikant Kamble) racing on the haunches of CRIMOSN PIRATE had to be checked.
 
An objection was lodged by Jockey D. R. Shubham rider of CRIMSON PIRATE placed 4th by the Judge against Jockey J. Chinoy rider of MAJESTIC WARRIOR placed 3rd by the Judge, reason being, “after the jump out MAJESTIC WARRIOR came onto him due to which he got unbalanced and thereafter his horse did not come into stride and only came into stride for last 2 furlongs. Due to this incident he lost a certain position”.
 
After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their own observations of the race, the Stewards decided to overrule the objection. However, they found Jockey J. Chinoy guilty of careless riding on his mount MAJESTIC WARRIOR. Due to lack of quorum the consideration of this item has been deferred.
 
Approaching the 600 metres, RED MERLOT (App. Avinash Paswan) was inclined outwards and carried FLASHMAN (App. A. Omkar) out. App. Avinash Paswan has been cautioned.
