dk b f WHISTLING STRAIT was very fractious and refused to be stalled.  Under the circumstances the filly was withdrawn with the permission of the Stewards before coming under Starter’s orders.  The Starting Stall Certificate of the filly has been revoked by the Starter.

SCHWARZENEGGER (App Mohit Singh) was slow to begin losing approximately two lengths at the start.

THE GIANT (App Ajoy Roy) ran detached from the field.  Tr. D Karki was advised not to accept with his charge  until it was capable of a better performance.

Jockey Aadesh Kumar, the rider of b g SEA SHOWER, when afforded an opportunity to explain the running of his mount stated that he was instructed to place the gelding at the rear of the field and to do his best on entering the straight.  Tr Patrick Quinn when interviewed corroborated the instruction given to the jockey.  The Stipendiary Stewards were of the opinion that Jockey Aadesh Kumar failed to make adequate efforts in the early and middle stages of the race to improve his position when he had every opportunity to do so and advised Tr. Patrick Quinn and Jockey Aadesh Kumar that their horses should be run and ridden in such a manner that leaves no room for query.
