On a request from Trainer Sangramsinh N. Joshi, MA CHERIE was examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O. at 10:45 a.m. on 19th September 2026, at the stables and was found to have a painful swelling on its girth. As such, the mare was certified unfit to race and was permitted to be withdrawn on veterinary grounds.

At the start, LIGHTNING BLAZE (App. Avinash Paswan, dr.1) jumped outwards thereby forcing BETWEEN FRIENDS (Prashant P. Dhebe, dr.3) outwards onto HOWLIN WOLF (N. S. Parmar, dr.4) causing the latter to be steadied.

Soon after the start, HOUSE OF LORDS (App. Ramswarup) shifted in under urgings and went across WE STILL BELIEVE (K. Nazil) causing the latter to check and change course, thereafter HOUSE OF LORDS further shifted in and went across ETOILE (App. A. Omkar) and LIGHTNING BLAZE (App. Avinash Paswan) due to this incident ETOILE racing on its haunches had to be checked. After questioning and not being satisfied, App. Ramswarup has been fined Rs. 3,000/-, for shifting in before the red marker.

Passing the 600 metres, BETWEEN FRIENDS (Prashant P. Dhebe) leaned out at the same time HOWLIN WOLF (N. S. Parmar) shifted in thereby tightening ETOILE (App. A. Omkar) for room. Jockeys Prashant P. Dhebe and N. S. Parmar have been cautioned.

In the final stages of the race, WE STILL BELIEVE (K. Nazil) racing between LIGHTNING BLAZE (App. Avinash Paswan) and BETWEEN FRIENDS (Prashant P. Dhebe) was observed to be tightened for room and had to be steadied. Jockey Prashant P. Dhebe and App. Avinash Paswan have been cautioned.

After the race, Jockey N. S. Parmar (HOWLIN WOLF) reported that his mount hung-in in the straight, despite his efforts. As such Trainer M. K. Jadhav has been asked to take remedial measures, before next accepting to race.

After the race, App. A. Omkar (ETOILE) reported that his mount was not galloping fluently in the straight. The mare was subject to veterinary examination and found to be sound.

After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported the following:

ETOILE was observed to have an injury on its left hind fetlock.

HOUSE OF LORDS was trotted and found to be sound.
