SNOW FALL (Sk Zaffar Riaz) was fractious while being stalled.

SILKEN SENORITA (B Mahesh) and JACQUALINE POSTILL (Kishore Kadam) were slow to begin.

SNOW FALL (Sk Zaffar Riaz) was observed to be travelling wide while negotiating the bend.  At a subsequent enquiry Jockey Sk Zaffar Riaz was shown the CCTV replay of the race and severely reprimanded for not making sufficient effort to place his mount in a more favourable position.  He was further informed that that should he ride in a similar manner in future, he would be liable to severe disciplinary action.

Tr. Vikash Jaiswal when afforded an opportunity to explain the improved performance of his charge b g RIVER PRIDE, the winner of this race as compared to its previous run in Race  No. 7 run on 1^st November, 2013, stated that the stable was pleasantly surprised with the victory of the gelding as it had never performed well over this distance.    However,  the only plausible explanation he could give for the improved performance was that the field consisted of horses of a very poor caliber, other than this he could give no other plausible explanation.  The Stipendiary Stewards while noting his explanation reminded him of his obligation to ensure consistency in the running of his charges.

Jockey B Mahesh, the rider of SILKEN SENORITA, reported loss of his whip passing the distance post.
