The left fore shoe of b c SECRET REWARD was observed to have splayed (shifted position) before the start of the race.  As there was insufficient time for the colt to be reshod, it was withdrawn with the permission of the Stewards before coming under Starter’s orders.

CON ARTISTE (Martin J Dwyer), QUEEN VIC (App Shezad Khan) and ROCKET BALL (App Arman Khan) were fractious while being stalled.

ROCKET BALL (App Arman Khan) was slow to begin losing approximately two lengths at the start.

CAIRNDHU (N S Parmar) was slow to begin losing considerable ground at the start.  In view of its behavior Tr. Bharath Singh was informed not to accept with his charge until shown to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in a mock race.

Approaching the 600 metres AMOR AMOR (P Trevor) travelling along the rails was checked by its rider and lost ground when squeezed for room by SUPERIOR QUEST (B Gurang).  At a subsequent enquiry Jockey B Gurang was cautioned and advised to take remedial measures to improve his riding and was ordered to report to Mr. N Bird, the Jockey Coach for appropriate corrective measures.
