After being stalled, ALIYANA (App.Tushar Nemane) started kicking violently and suffered injuries on the left hock. The mare was taken out of the gate and examined and found to have multiple bleeding injuries on and around the left hock. As such, ALIYANA was certified unfit to race and hence withdrawn on veterinary grounds, before coming under the Starter’s Order.  The Trainer is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the horse from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

ZOE (J.Chinoy) tried to duck the gates and in the process its head gear slipped off, which was refitted. The filly was examined by the Club’s V.O. who certified her fit to race. HELEN (D.K.Ashish) was reluctant to be stalled. MAGDALENA (Akshay) planted and took no practical part in the race. Trainers Altaf Hussain, M.Narredu and Vinesh have been asked to give their respective charge more gate practice and show them to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

Soon after the start, ZOE (J.Chinoy) was tightened for room due to a tightly packed field, who in turn inconvenienced VAILE ROUGE (A.M.Tograllu).

Approaching 600 metres, BATHSHEBA (App.Sandeep Jadhav) shifted out due to the bend and carried ZOE (J.Chinoy) outwards and EDGE OF GLORY (Malcolm Kharadi) may possibly have travelled wider at the bend due to ZOE shifting outwards.

App.Sandeep Jadhav (BATHSHEBA) has been cautioned for failing to take up an advantageous position in the early part of the race.

After the race, STRATEGY was observed to have a cut injury at the right hind fetlock, EXPELLIARMUS had a cut injury at the left hind cannon and hock and ASAHI had a gum injury. ZOE, NATIONAL IKON, QUEEN’S CAMP and ASAHI were found to be sound.
