After being stalled, COLOSSUS (J.Chinoy) reared up in the gate and turned back and got stuck in the rear gate. On examination by the Club’s V.O., the gelding was found to have suffered bruises at the left stifle area  and was sore from the left hind leg. As such, the gelding was certified unfit to race and hence withdrawn on veterinary ground, before coming under the Starter’s Order.  Trainer P.Shroff 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.  Also, the gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

Due to the above incident,  SHERLOCK HOLMES (P.Trevor), who was in the adjoining stall was disturbed and had to be taken out for a Vet Check and in the process the gelding broke loose, breaking the rear false rail barrier. As per the practice, the trainer was contacted and he desired to run the horse.  Meanwhile all the other horses which were stalled, were taken out and re-stalled. SHERLOCK HOLMES was returned to the starting point, re-inspected and passed fit to start/

At the start, MENAGE A TROIS (Neeraj Rawal, dr.2) jumped awkwardly outwards and took the running of NICANORA (Vikram Jodha, dr.3) who was steadied.

Shortly after the start, KERRISDALE (Dashrah Singh) drifted in despite Jockey’s effort and carried STORMYDAY (Akshay) inwards. 

After the race, SHERLOCK HOLMES and KERRISDALE were found to be sound. SHERLOCK HOLMES had an abrasion at the right hind fetlock and cut injury at the left hind fetlock. MENAGE A TROIS had lost its left fore plate. KERRISDALE had wolf tooth on the left side, Tr.Imtiaz A.Sait has been asked to take remedial measures,
