While negotiating the bend, STUNNING THUNDER (S.Sunil) appeared to be in distress and was pulled up some distance away from the Winning Post. The horse also stumbled and brushed the railing. After first aid treatment the gelding was kept under observation  at the saddling enclosure. The gelding was further examined extensively at the Club’s Equine Hospital at about 5.00 p.m. and was diagnosed to be having internal hemorrhage. Despite all the necessary medication the bleeding could not be controlled, as such the gelding was euthanized on humane  grounds at  about 9.00 .m. after consent from the Trainer.

ASHWA PARWEZ (C.S.Jodha) lugged-in in the straight. Trainer Subhag Singh has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.

Jockey Ishwar Pardeshi (SPEED UP) has been cautioned for allowing his mount to shift ground outwards under the use of the whip in the straight.

An enquiry has been initiated into the running and riding of CLASSIC RULER and a report will be submitted shortly.

After the race, CLASSIC RULER and SPEED UP were both observed to have lost their left fore plate and GATRAVAT was observed to have a bruise at the withers.  CLASSIC RULER and ASHWA PARWEZ were found to be sound.
