OCEAN STAR (App.Akshay) played up at the time of stalling. The filly was examined by the Club’s V.O. and was found to be sore from the left hind leg. The filly also had an abrasion on the left hock. As such, the filly was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn on veterinary ground, before coming under the Starter’s Order. Trainer Vinayak has been asked to give the filly more gate practice and show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race. Also, the filly has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

RED PASION was fractious and reluctant to be stalled. Trainer Amjad Khan has been asked to give the filly more gate practice and show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials before next accepting to race.

At the start, EL CLASICO (Dashrath Singh) shifted in and at the same time RED PASSION (T.Atul) shifted out and carried TAMARAI (Akash Agarwal) out on to RISING GLORY who made contact with EL CLASICO.

Approaching 600 metres, EL CLASICO (Dashrath Singh) possibly clipped the hind heels of DANCING GLANCES (App P Trevor) and stumbled and fell, dislodging its Rider and as a result OCEAN WISH (Shammi Khan) got jostled by EL CLASICO. Due to the fall of EL CLASICO, TAMARAI (Akash Agarwal) who was following, stumbled upon EL CLASICO and fell, dislodging its Rider. Due to the incident, Jockey R.Shelar (CLAIM TO FAME) and R.Rupesh (TALK OF THE TOWN) pulled up their respective mounts to avoid collusion with the fallen horses/Jockeys.

Near 300 metres, DANCING GLANCES (App. P. Trevor) was ridden in check due to insufficient room on the inside of RED PASSION (T.Atul) and a little later the gap closed as RED PASSION shifted inwards. Jockey T.Atul has been cautioned.

The Sr.V.O. reported that TAMARAI and EL CLASICO fell down near 600 metres. On examination, TAMARAI was found to be sound, having suffered a cut injury at the left hind coronet. EL CLASSICO was examined at the saddling enclosure after the race and was found to be bleeding from both nostrils and had suffered cut injury at the left fore elbow and left fore cannon.

After the race, DANCING GLANCES was found to be sore by the right hind leg. The filly has to be passed fit by the Club’s VO before next accepting to race.

After the race, OCEAN WISH and HAMMERHEAD were found to be sound.

In view of the incident in this race, the Jockeys made a representation to the Stewards. After having heard the Jockeys and the Clerk of the Course along with the Stipendiary Stewards, the Stewards decided to continue with the races.
