BREAK THE HABIT (Pintu Das) hung out approaching the 800 mtr marker and on entering the straight veered to the outer portion of the race track.  Trainer Vikash Jaiswal was advised to take appropriate corrective measures.

Jockey Melvyn Maseyk  the rider of bc TOTALIZE when queried as to why he had not ridden his mount complete advantage in the final 300 mrs of the race, stated, that he was unable to do so as the ”Bit” on his mount was loosely fitted and hence the colt did not respond to his urgings. However on examination of  the equipment by the Stipendiary Steward and Veterinary Officer soon after the race the “Bit” was found to be well fitted.    The Stipendiary Stewards not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by the rider decided to fine him a sum of Rs. 2,500/- for the indifferent handling of his mount in the final 300 mtrs of the race and a further Rs. 2,500/- for making a false statement.
