UPTOWN GIRL (Vinay Jaiswal) which was fractious while being stalled was slow to begin.

ETERNALLY (P Trevor) was fractious in its stall.

ROMANTIC SOCIETY (Md Azharuddin) was slow to begin.

An enquiry was held immediately after the running of the race with particular reference to the fall of dk b m UPTOWN GIRL (Vinay Jaiswal) and b m ROMANTIC SOCIETY (Md Azharuddin) passing the 800 metres. At the conclusion of the enquiry it was established that the fall was accidental in that UPTOWN GIRL travelling on the outside of the field inexplicably shied ‘inwards’ thereby unbalancing its Jockey who parted company with the mare. Thereafter UPTOWN GIRL shifted further ‘inwards’ onto POWER OF FREEDOM (Ranidan Singh) travelling along the rails which had to be checked by its Jockey. In this incident ROMANTIC SOCIETY (Md Azharuddin) travelling behind ran into the heels of POWER OF FREEDOM and fell. As no blame could be attached to any Jockey the ‘All Clear’ signal was ordered to be hoisted. Both the fallen Jockeys were shifted to hospital for medical management. On veterinary examination b m ROMANTIC SOCIETY was found to be lame on left fore. Tr. Vijay Singh was informed not to accept with his charge until certified fit by the Veterinary Officer.
