ANOTHER GLORY (A Ashhad Asbar) was fractious while being stalled.

REGAL (Surjeet Singh) was slow to begin.

RACHMANINOFF (Md Islam, drawn 10) and LE HAVRE (Anil Baandal, drawn 11) made contact with each other some distance after the start.

Immediately after the race an enquiry was held by the Stipendiary Stewards with particular reference to the fall of ANOTHER GLORY (A Ashhad Asbar) BENGAL TIGER (Vinay Jaiswal) and RACHMANINOFF (Md Islam) passing the 1000 metre marker. At the conclusion of this enquiry the ‘All Clear’ signal was hoisted and the Stipendiary Stewards referred the matter to the Stewards who interviewed Jockeys Arshad Alam, the rider of SCARLET EMPEROR (drawn 4) and Jockey A Ashhad Asbar, the rider of ANOTHER GLORY (drawn 5) after the last race of the day. At the conclusion of the Stewards enquiry Jockey Arshad Alam, the rider of SCARLET EMPEROR, was found guilty of negligent riding (Rule 161 (i) of the RCTC Rules of Racing) in that in an attempt to improve his position passing the 1000 metre marker he shifted his mount ‘outwards’ thereby causing ANOTHER GLORY (A Ashhad Asbar) to be carried ‘out’ resulting in the mare clipping the heels of FABIENNE (Neeraj Rawal) and falling in the path of BENGAL TIGER (Vinay Jaiswal) and RACHMANINOFF (Md Islam) which resulted in the two mentioned horses also falling. Further in this incident LE HAVRE (Anil Baandal) travelling on the wide outside received a severe check when taking evasive action. The Stewards after due deliberation decided to suspend Jockey Arshad Alam from riding in races from 10th March, 2017 to 30th March, 2017 (both days inclusive). Mr. Arshad Alam was informed of his right to appeal and was permitted to ride work. Jockeys Vinay Jaiswal and Md Islam were given immediate medical attention and admitted to the hospital for further medical management. Jockey A Ashhad Asbar was examined by the Medical Officer and declared fit to ride. ANOTHER GLORY which sustained a pelvic fracture was euthanized and ROCHMANINOFF which returned with a cut injury on the chest was attended to by the Veterinary Officer.

Some distance passing the winning post XIPEN (App P Vikram) dislodged its rider.
