An objection was lodged by Jockey P. Trevor, rider  of YINSIRUK (drawn 9) , placed 2nd by the Judge against Jockey A. Sandesh, the rider of DREAMS COME TRUE (drawn 8), placed 1st by the Judge. The reason being, “at the start, Jockey A. Sandesh (DREAMS COME TRUE) came out and bumped me badly , nearly clipped due to which I had to break his stride completely due to which I could not take my position as my horse was carrying 61kg’s , despite being bumped at the start and nearly falling ,my horse came back and lost a certain race”.

After considering the submissions made by Trainer Aman Altaf Hussain, Jockeys P. Trevor and A. Sandesh, having viewed the start of the race from multiple angles in conjunction with the Stipendiary Stewards and acting on their own observation, the Stewards noted that the incident was accidental, decided to uphold the objection by casting vote and revised the order of placing as under:-

YINSIRUK                              -           FIRST,                        DREAMS COME TRUE        -           SECOND,

HEAVEN’S RHYTHM                        -           THIRD,            MENORCA                             -           FOURTH

AEON FLUX                           -           FIFTH
