While rolling GOLDEN EYE in front of the starting gate, the filly reared up and flipped over, as such, the filly was examined by the Club’s Sr. Veterinary Officer who certified her fit to race.

GOLDEN EYE (A. Sandesh, dr.7) was fractious and reluctant to be stalled. As such, Trainer Dallas Todywalla has been asked to give hive his charge more gate practice and show the filly to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race. After the race Jockey A. Sandesh reported that his charge rushed the front gates and stated that there was a fractional delay between the blind fold being removed and the start being given. Having viewed the replay, Jockey A. Sandesh’s reporting has been noted, it was also observed that the filly had rushed the front gates as the start was effected.

HERMANUS (Yash Narredu, dr.4) was fractious in the stall. As such, Trainer P. Shroff has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the colt to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, GOLDEN EYE (A. Sandesh, dr.7) jumped outwards and had to be steadied.

Passing the 1200 metres, SNOWGIRL (Akshay Kumar) racing between ALPHA STRIKE (P. Trevor) and GOLDEN EYE (A. Sandesh) was tightened for room and had to be checked.

Approaching the 200 metres, Jockey Vivek G. (AVANTE) was observed to have forced a passage and in the process bumping and forcing SPECTRA (Antony Raj S.) outwards, who in turn shifted out thereby bumping and unbalancing SNOWGIRL (Akshay Kumar) racing on its outside, due to this incident HERMANUS (Yash Narredu) was also inconvenienced. After questioning and not being satisfied with the explanation, Jockey Vivek G. has been suspended for two Race Days i.e. on 22nd and 29th August 2026 (permitted to ride work/mock race) for careless riding on his mount.

After the race, the Veterinary officer reported the following:

GOLDEN EYE was trotted and found to be sound.

ALPHA STRIKE was observed to have an injury on its right hind pastern.

The Equine Hospital reported the following:

HERMANUS sustained a left eye injury (sore).
