Jasbir Singh was informed not to accept with his charge until shown to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in a mock race.  The Starting Stall Certificate of the gelding has been revoked by the Starter.
 
BLUE MOUNTAIN (Gajender Singh) and RIVER DIVINE (Nelson Maseyk) were slow to begin.
 
Approaching the final 1000 metres STAND APART (C Alford) and DIVINE SYMPHONY (Shezad Khan) were inconvenienced when SOLID SUCCESS (App B Srinivas Rao) improving on the outside and  HARNESS FREE (Melvyn Maseyk) shifted ‘inwards’ and ‘outwards’ respectively and thereafter approaching the 900 metres  HARNESS FREE (Melvyn Maseyk) galloping 3 horses wide from the running rails was bumped by STAND APART (C Alford).  At a subsequent enquiry Jockey Melvyn Maseyk was shown the CCTV replay of the race and reprimanded for galloping 3 horses wide of the running rails for no apparent reason.
 
ch f STAND APART (C Alford) which was racing prominently was observed to lose position approaching the distance post despite the best efforts of its rider.  Tr. Javed Khan was advised to keep the filly under observation and report ailment, if any.
 
 An objection was lodged by Jockey Melvyn Maseyk, the rider of HARNESS FREE placed 3rd by the Judge against Jockey Shezad Khan, the rider of DIVINE SYMPHONY placed 2nd  by the Judge on the grounds of “at about 700 metres he sharply cut across thereby I had to check my mount badly causing a break in my horse’s stride which cost me the second place”.   The Stewards after having interviewed Jockeys Melvyn Maseyk and Shezad Khan, unanimously resolved to over-rule the objection, the Judge’s  placings remained unaltered.
