MY LUCKY STAR (I.Shaikh) was slowly out, losing about 6 lengths at the start. Considering this and similar behavior of the gelding in its previous run, Trainer Narendra Lagad has been asked to give the gelding more Gate practice and show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

An Objection was lodged by Jockey P.Trevor (FLYING STAR, placed 2^nd) against Jockey Kavraj Singh , the rider of GRANT PARK (placed first). The reason being,  in the last 50 metres, GRANT PARK shifted out  due to which he had to check his mount momentarily, which cost him the race. 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.

The Stewards after the last race interviewed Jockey Kavraj Singh for careless riding on his mount GRANT PARK and not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by him, decided to suspend his Jockey’s license for 13^th November, 2011 for careless riding (permitted to ride work/mock race).

Jockey P.Trevor (FLYING STAR) was observed to have used his whip in excess of the prescribed limit on his mount. This being his third offence, the matter was reported to the Stewards. The Stewards interviewed Jockey P.Trevor and not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by him, decided to suspend his Jockey License w.e.f. 13^th November 2011 to 17^th November 2011 (both days inclusive). (Permitted to ride work/ Mock race).

After the race, ENCHANTED, GRANT PARK and MOUNTAIN FLORA were found to be sound.
