ch g SUMMERHILL (R Shelar) and dk b m ANTIQUARIAN (Md Islam) were examined by the Veterinary Officer behind the starting gate and found to be lame on their right hinds. Under the circumstances both animals were permitted to be withdrawn before coming under Starter’s orders. Trs. Shyam S Habbu and Manvendra Singh were informed not to accept with their respective charges until certified fit by the Veterinary Officer.

SHEER FORCE (App R S Bhati) was fractious in its stall and in the process the bridle on the gelding got displaced and the same was attended to in the stall.

WHITEWALKER (Ajeet Kumar) drifted to the outer rail soon after the start thereby losing considerable ground. In view of its behaviour, Tr. Vikash Jaiswal was advised not to accept with his charge until shown to the satisfaction of the Starter in a barrier trial during the hours of morning track work.

App Rupal Singh, the rider of AQUITANIA, was fined a sum of Rs. 3,000/- for the excessive use of the whip (1st infringement).
