MODIFICATION (A Ashhad Asbar) arrived late to the start thereby delaying the proceedings of the race. Tr. Rutherford Alford was advised to ensure that his charge arrives on time in future.

SALVATORE MUNDI (App Ranidan Singh) was fractious while being stalled.

Jockey Md Imran, the rider of DANCING PRINCE (Drawn. 5) was fined a sum of Rs. 2,500/- for preventing his mount from taking an advantageous position soon after the start thereby unnecessarily restricting it from running freely.

Jockey Hindu Singh, the rider of ALL ROUNDER (Drawn. 8), was fined a sum of Rs. 2,500/- for shifting ‘in’ soon after the start causing interference to IVY (Arshad Alam, Drawn. 7).

Approaching the 800 metres MONACO (App P Vikram) travelling along the rails shifted ‘outwards’ causing interference to OUTRIDER (A Imran Khan) and ALL ROUNDER (Hindu Singh). At a subsequent enquiry App P Vikram was shown the CCTV replay of the race and fined a sum of Rs. 2,500/- for shifting ground for no apparent reasons.

When afforded an opportunity to explain the improved performance of his charge b f MODIFICATION as compared to its previous run in Race No. 11 held on 11th November, 2017, Tr. Rutherford Alford stated that :-

a) In her previous outing the filly was ridden by an App Jockey wherein it had jumped out awkwardly from the gates.

b) Today he declared a better skilled jockey who rode the filly more competently.

c) He was surprised with filly’s victory and that it was not at all fancied by the stable.

The Stipendiary Stewards while noting his explanations advised Tr. Rutherford Alford to ensure that his charges run with a degree of consistency.
