b g  RISE ABOVE ALL (Gajender Singh) was fractious in its stall and flipped over.  Under the circumstances the gelding was withdrawn with the permission of the Stewards before coming under Starter’s orders.  Tr.  Vikash Jaiswal was informed not to accept with his charge until shown to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in a mock race.

GENEROSITY (A M Tograllu, drawn 2) planted losing considerable ground at the start.   Tr.  Javed Khan was informed not to accept with his charge until passed fit by the Stipendiary Stewards in a barrier trial during the hours of morning track work.

MOMENT OF LOVE (App J K Prasad) and MOUNTAIN ROSE (Sk Israil) which were fractious while being stalled were slow to begin.

HEADLINER (Shailesh Shinde) was slow to begin.

An objection was lodged by Jockey Shailesh Shinde, the rider of HEADLINER placed 2^nd by the Judge against Jockey N S Parmar, the rider of ISTANBUL placed 1^st by the Judge on the grounds of “taking me out in the final 300 metres of the race thereby taking my ground causing me to check my mount at a crucial stage which cost me a certain race”.   The Stewards after having interviewed Jockeys Shailesh Shinde and  N S Parmar, Stipendiary Stewards and viewing the CCTV replay of the race, unanimously resolved to over-rule the objection, the Judge’s  placings remained unaltered.

Passing the distance post, DIVINE SPLENDOR (Dashrath Singh) received various degrees of interference and was checked by its rider when ISTANBUL (N S Parmar) shifted ‘outwards’.  At a subsequent enquiry Jockey N S Parmar, the rider of ISTANBUL, was fined a sum of Rs. 5,000/- for not exercising sufficient control over his mount when placing it under pressure.
