The Sr.V.O. reported that OCEAN FAIRY played up and had a fall near the Horse Weighing scale at the time of weighing before the first race  and sustained deep abrasions on the inside of the right fore knee, as a result, slight  swelling was noticed on the knee. As such, the filly was certified unfit to race and hence was withdrawn on veterinary grounds. 

Trainer Vinayak is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the filly from the Club’s Sr.V.O before next accepting to race.

Trainer Rehanullah Khan has been fined Rs.1000/- for failing to produce the registered racing colours in respect of his charge CHEPONSKI. The Jockey wore the Emergency Colours i.e. All Black.

At the start, CHEPONSKI (App.A.Sandesh) jumped out awkwardly towards the inside and made contact with NOU CAMP (Dashrath Singh).

An objection was lodged by Jockey Y.S.Srinath, rider of ZARACHA, placed third by the Judge, against Jockey Shrikant Kamble, rider of TITLEIST, placed second,  for taking him out, elbowing and striking him with the whip in the last 300 metres, which cost him a certain place.

After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards  and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to over-rule the objection.

After the race, ZARACHA was found to be sound.
