An enquiry was held immediately after the running of the race with particular reference to the fall of Jockey Shezad Khan from b f CHITRAKALA (Shezad Khan) some distance after the start. As the incident had no bearing on the eventual placings by the Judge, the ‘All Clear’ signal was ordered to be hoisted. Jockey Shezad Khan on examination was found to have sustained minor injuries, he was, however, declared unfit to ride for the remaining engagement of the day.

In continuation of the enquiry Jockey Y S Srinath (BOJANGLES) and Jockey Shezad Khan (CHITRAKALA) were interviewed and Mr. Y S Srinath was fined a sum of Rs. 5,000/- for reckless riding in that in his endeavour to gain a favourable position he maneuvered his mount ‘outwards’ causing Jockey Shezad Khan to take evasive action by he too maneuvering his mount ‘outwards’ which resulted in him making contact with GHOST CREEK (C S Jodha) on his outside. This resulted in Jockey Shezad Khan losing balance and getting dislodged from his mount. Jockey Y S Srinath was further informed that should be ride in a similar manner in future he would be reported to the Stewards for appropriate action.

MOVE TO THE FRONT (App P Tejeshwar) which was fractious in its stall was slow to begin.
