REGAL BEARING (D K Ashish) and SUGAR ‘N’ SALT (Md. Islam) were fractious while being stalled thereby delaying the start of the race.  In view of their behavior Trs. Shafiq Khan and Javed Khan were advised not to accept with their charges until passed fit by the Starter in a barrier trial during the hours of morning track work.

THE GORDIAN KNOT (Pradeep Kumar) jumped awkwardly from the gate losing approximately two lengths at the start and thereafter ran an erratic course in the initial 100 metres of the race.  Tr. Vikash Jaiswal was advised to take appropriate corrective measures before accepting with his charge again.

Approaching the 900 metres REGAL BEARING (D K Ashish) attempting to make progress between SEACHANGE (Vinay Jaiswal) and MYTHOS (Shailesh Shinde) was eased back by its rider when squeezed for room.

Jockey Sk Zaffar Riaz, the rider of IJLAL, was fined a sum of Rs. 2,500/- for the indifferent handling of his mount in that he negotiated the final bend  wide for no apparent reason and for failing to infuse adequate vigour to his riding in the final 300 metres of the race.  Tr. Javed Khan was informed that his charges should be run and ridden in such a manner that leaves no room for query. 

Jockey Shailesh Shinde, the rider of MYTHOS, was fined a sum of Rs. 1,000/- for excessive use of the whip on his mount (1^st Offence).
