HIGH SOCIETY (S.N.Chavan) walked out of the gates and thereafter trotted for about a furlong. Trainer N.B.Chenoy 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.

At the start, STERLING SILVER (Sunny Chinoy) shifted out and made contact with C’EST LA VIE (C.Rajendra) who shifted out and at the same time SWEETER THEN LIFE (Nirmal Jodha) shifted in, due to which C’ESTA LA VIE was tightened and steadied, thereby losing position. Jockey Sunny Chinoy has been fined Rs.1000/- for railing to exercise proper control over his mount.

An Objection was lodged by Jockey Sunny Chinoy (STERLING SILVER, placed 4^th) against CALL TO ARMS (A.Sandesh) placed 2^nd . The reason being, entering the straight, between 400 metres and 300 metres, CALL TO ARMS shifed in and bumped his filly, whereby his filly was completely shaken up, which cost him a certain place. The Stewards interviewed the Jockeys concerned  and having considered the  submissions made by them, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards  and relying on their judgment, decided to over-rule the objection.

Jockey R.Shelar (HIGHLAND WARRIOR) reported that his mount lugged out during the race, as such Trainer Ivor Fernandes has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.

An enquiry has been initiated into the running and riding of THAT’S MY MASTER and a report will be submitted shortly.

After the race, MACHO UNO and THAT’S MY MASTER were found to be sound.
