After being loaded, RIO DEL REY (T.S.Jodha), in anticipation of the start, prematurely charged the front gates and due to the sound of the barrier, DANCING MONEY (App.Sandeep Jadhav) also charged the front gates and then reared up and fell backward; in the process the Jockey was injured. On examination by the Club’s V.O., the mare was found to have suffered bleeding injury at the right fore cannon and a cut injury at the left fore fetlock. As such, DANCING MONEY was certified unfit to race and hence withdrawn on veterinary grounds, before coming under the Starter’s Order. The Trainer has to obtain a fitness certificate for the mare from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting with her to race.

Soon after the start, ROYALTY (A.Ashhad Asbar, dr.5) was tightened between SOLID ROCK (A.M.Tograllu, dr.4) who shifted out and RIO DEL RAY (T.S.Jodha, dr.6) who  shifted inwards at the same time. Both Jockeys A.M.Tograllu and T.S.Jodha have been cautioned.

Approaching 600 metres, CHASING MEMORIES (App.Nikhil Bhujbal) clipped the hind heels of SOLID ROCK (A.M.Tograllu) and stumbled and lost its position, and in turn hampered the running of MISCHEVIOUS Z (S.S.Baria) who was following and whilst CHASING MEMORIES regained its balance after the stumble, the gelding shifted out and carried LAURUS TIKATI (J.Chinoy) outwards. Since the incident was accidental, no action has been initiated against anyone.

Approaching 200 metres, OCEAN OF FAITH (Kavraj Singh) was inconvenienced while racing between ARABIAN CHIEF (C.S.Jodha) and MISCHEVIOUS Z (S.S.Baria).

Jockey C.S.Jodha (ARABIAN CHIEF) reported that his mount was inclined to lean inward in the straight. Trainer Vijay Kasbekar has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.

After the race, ROYALTY was observed to have a cut injury at the right fore cannon, CHASING MEMORIES had a cut injury at the right fore fetlock, OCEAN OF FAITH had a cut injury at the right fore and right hind cannon, MISCHEVIOUS Z had an abrasion at the right hind cannon, LAURUS TIKATI had an abrasion at the right hind pastern and RIO DEL RAY had a gum injury. CHASING MEMORIES and SOLID ROCK were found to be sound.
