DUBAI KING (Mustakim Alam) which was racing keenly in the initial stages of the race dropped back suddenly from about the 700 metres causing Jockey Vivek G (BLUE CHIP) travelling behind to take evasive measure and switched course to the outside. Jockey Mustakim Alam (DUBAI KING) eased up his mount passing the 300 metres as the gelding bled profusely and did not complete the course. Tr. Shafiq Khan was informed not to accept with his charge until certified fit by the Veterinary Officer.

LIBAN (A Ayaz Khan) which was at the helm of the field dropped back rapidly from the 300 metres. The Veterinary Officer was requested to examine the colt and submit his report and on examination the colt was found to be sound.
