ABERCROMBE (A Ashhad Asbar) was fractious while being stalled.

LEANDRO (Rajinder Singh) which was fractious in its stall, was slow to begin.

SINGULARITY (Mudassar Nazar) was slow to begin.

An enquiry was held immediately after the running of the race with particular reference to the fall of KAMCHATKA (C Alford) passing the distance post. At the conclusion of the enquiry it was established that the fall was accidental and no blame could be attributed to any rider. The ‘All Clear’ signal was ordered to be hoisted. Jockey C Alford was examined by the Medical Officer and declared fit to fulfill his remaining engagements for the day. The gelding on examination was found to have sustained a fracture of the pelvic bone and was put down on humanitarian grounds. In this incident MCCARTNEY (Shailesh Shinde) and CAYMAN ISLANDS (B Nikhil) were checked by their respective Jockeys and shifted ‘outwards’ when taking evasive action to avoid running into the fallen horse.
