RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “THAT’S MY MASTER” IN RACE NO 220 RUN ON 16^THOCTOBER 2011 – TRAINER DAMODARAN D PILLAI  JOCKEY DASHRATH SINGH

Trainer Dadmodaran D Pillai was informed that the gelding had ran poorly and that there was drift in odds also from 2/1 an hour before the 1^st race and opened at 2 ½ at race time and drifted to 3 ½ an closing time.  Jockey Dashrath Singh had stated that the gelding did not come on the bit at all and he had ridden out the gelding in the race.

Trainer Damodaran D.Pillai explained that he had instructed the Jockey not to urge the horse in the early part of the race and to settle him 5^th or 6^th, pull him out in the straight and ride out. Further, he added that he was satisfied with the Jockey’s riding and he himself was surprised that the horse did not gallop. He opined that possibly the gelding did not like the going. He further added that the heavy rainfall a couple of days earlier to the Race had rendered the Sand Track unusable and therefore, he could not give pace work to the horse. He said that he had given the gelding a chance on the basis of his 4^th in Class IV in Race no 132.

Not being entirely satisfied with the explanation tendered by the Trainer, he was cautioned to ensure that his charges race with consistency in the future.

RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “LAKE ONTARIO” IN RACE NO 180 RUN ON 2^ND OCTOBER 2011 – TRAINER IVOR FERNANDES, JOCKEY R SHELAR

The Instructions to the Jockey were to take a good jump and to do his best. The Trainer stated that the horse is unsound and he had kept the horse mainly on swimming and treadmill. To another question, he said that the horse returned sound after the race.

Jockey R.Shelar, when asked as to why had he not ridden out the horse in the straight, he stated that the horse had to be ridden with support as he is an unsound horse and the horse was not improving in the straight. It was put to the jockey that he had made an effort soon after the jump out but the same vigor was missing in the straight and he had not done his best in the straight. Jockey  R.Shelar was told that he had been reminded of his obligation to ride out his mounts on many occasion during the current Pune Meeting 2011.

Not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by Jockey R.Shelar, he was fined Rs.3000/- for failing to persevere with his mount. Further, he was cautioned for the future.

RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “OCEAN ADMIRAL” IN  RACE NO 177 RUN ON 2^NDOCTOBER 2011 – TRAINER IVOR FERNANDES

Trainer Ivor Fernandes explained that the Instructions to Jockey R.Shelar were to be in 6^th or 7^th position and to do his best in the straight. He added that in his opinion the horse was used as a pacemaker and has been running its races from the front which he adduced from the race where the gelding was ridden by Jockey Suraj Narredu (in Race no 41) and also Jockey S.Zervan (in Race no 87) and he thought of changing the tactics and race the gelding from behind, and therefore he had instructed the Jockey to ride from behind and to hold him and ride in this race.

The Trainer went on to explain that the timing on that day. He said that the other race over 1600 metres which was won by AMBROSIA, RED SENSATION who finished 3^rd had clocked the same time as OCEAN ADMIRAL who finished 6^th. He added that the Track was on a slower side in the final 400 metres. He further added that the gelding has a soft mouth and he has tried using the Drop Nose Band and try and see if that helps the horse. He concluded by saying that he would be racing the gelding from a 6/ 7^th position in future also.

In view of the above, the explanation has been noted for future reference.
