Near 400 metres, Jockey S.Sunil (SECRET SERVICE) tried to switch his mount to the outside but could not do so due to the presence of CARDINAL (B.Prakash). After traveling a few strides, SECRET SERVICE was switched to the inside and in doing so, caused interference to ASTAPI (Ladjadj Stephane) who was checked. Jockey S.Sunil was reported to the Stewards for Careless Riding. The Stewards interviewed Jockey S.Sunil and having heard him and having viewed the video recording of the race, the Stewards were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by him and held him guilty of careless riding on his mount.

(permitted to ride work/mock race). Further, he was warned to be more careful in the future.
