At the start, LET IT FLY (App.Nikhil Bhujbal, dr.6) jumped awkwardly inwards and went  on to MEDIATOR (V.Phadke, dr.5).  

Near 900 metres, HEAVENLY PRIZE (Kavraj Singh) shifted in and caused AURARIA (Dashrath Singh) to shift in, who in turn caused interference to NANINA (C.S.Jodha). ITSMYWAY (App.S.Mosin) who was travelling behind, was also inconvenienced. Jockey Kavraj Singh has been fined Rs.3000/-.

Making the home turn, AURARIA (Dashrath Singh) and MEDIATOR (V.Phadke) bumped.

Trainer S.K.Sunderji was questioned regarding the comparative performance of his charge in this race which the gelding won as compared to its previous runs during the current Pune Meeting. The Trainer was asked to explain the performance of his charge in view of the fact that he had engaged mediocre Jockeys and the horse was available at longer odds in its previous four starts as compared to its run today. The Trainer stated that the gelding had performed well over 1200 metres during the last Mumbai Meeting and in its previous run in Race no 189, it was a Class IV race and the gelding was only 4 lengths behind the winner. He added that he could not get App Prasad to ride this time, as the Master of the Apprentice, Trainer Sangramsinh N.Joshi, had a runner. He added that the gelding had been racing on a forward position and the race today was over 1000 metres.  The explanation was noted.  

After the race, LET IT FLY was found to be sound, but having a gum injury. PRINCE and NANINA were found to be sound.
