ILLUSIONIST (Prashant P. Dhebe, dr.1) refused to stall, despite substantial efforts. As such, the gelding was withdrawn before coming the Starter’s order and Trainer M. Narredu has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the gelding to the satisfaction of the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.
 
LIGHTING SPEAR (K. Nazil, dr.8) jumped out slowly and lost about a length at the start.
 
At the start, RUNNING AWAY (App. N. Bhosale, dr.9) was observed to have thrown its head up and dropped back.
 
Passing the 1000 metres, LATIOS (P. Trevor) shifted out onto ELOQUENT (S. Mosin) who in turn shifted out onto MINARI (Akshay Kumar) causing the latter to be checked. After the race Jockey P. Trevor reported that his mount was inclined outwards throughout the race, despite his efforts. As such, Trainer Aman Altaf Hussain has been asked to take remedial measures, before next accepting to race.
 
Passing the 200 metres ORGANISED CHAOS (A. Sandesh) leaned outwards and went across CHARISSE (App. Kirtish Bhagat) who had to be steadied.
 
An objection was lodged by Jockey Kirtish Bhagat (CHARISSE) placed 3rd by the Judge against Jockey A. Sandesh (ORGANISED CHAOS) placed 2nd by the Judge, reason being, “In the final stages of the race, Jockey A. Sandesh shifted out took his ground, he had to stop riding for two to three strides and again when he pulled his filly inside, Jockey A. Sandesh shifted in due to which, he got interfered and lost 2nd position”. After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with the Stipendiary Stewards, having viewed the video recording of the race from multiple angles and relying on their own observation of the race, the Stewards found the incident accidental and decided to overrule the objection and the order of placing remained unchanged.
 
After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported the following:
 
ORGANISED CHAOS was observed to have an injury on its left nostril and muzzle.
 
LATIOS was observed to have an injury on its right hind cannon.
 
MINARI was observed to have an injury on its right fore tendon.
 
MILA was observed to have an injury on its right hind pastern.
