At the request of Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha, REPLICA was examined at 1000 hours on 30^th August, 2014 and was found to be sore by the left fore leg. As such, the filly was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn on Veterinary grounds. The filly  has to be passed fit by the Club’s VO before next accepting to race. 

UKULELE (A.Sandesh) was reluctant to be stalled and thereafter was restless in the stall and not allowing the rider to settle. In view of the above and considering the filly’s behavior in her previous outing, Trainer Sanjay Kolse has been asked to take remedial measures and to show the filly to the satisfaction of the Starter in a Mock race, before next accepting with her to race.

PAURUS (P.Trevor) lost about 2 lengths at the start.

At the start, CONSTANTINE (Dashrath Singh) jumped out awkwardly.

Near 1100 metres, CONSTANTINE (Dashrath Singh) became unbalanced as the gelding clipped the heels of the front runners.

Near 900 metres, UKULELE (A. Sandesh) weakened and dropped out of contention and trailed the field. The Sr. VO was requested to examine the filly  and he reported that UKULELE was observed to have a cut injury at the right fore arm and right hind cannon and was treated at the Club’s Equine Hospital. Subsequently, the  Equine Hospital reported that X-Ray of the right hind cannon revealed fracture of right hind splint bone. The filly has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

App.Yash Narredu (LHOTSE) reported that his mount lugged-in in the straight. Trainer Sangramsinh N.Joshi has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.

PURE BLISS (C.S.Jodha) hung-in in the straight whereby the Jockey could not ride out his mount and passing 200 metres PURE BLISS hampered the running of BEACH GAME (D.A.Naik). Trainer S.K.Sunderji has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.

PAURUS (P.Trevor) lugged-in in the final stages of the race. Trainer Subhag Singh has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the colt.

Jockey Dashrath Singh (CONSTANTINE) reported that his mount raced keen in the early part of the race and he had difficulty in settling the gelding. 

Trainer S.K.Sunderji and Jockey Vikram Jodha were questioned regarding the running and riding of ACT OF VALOUR. The instructions were to sit in 2^nd position after the jump if possible and if no one goes to the front and if the horse is keen, then to go to the front and to do his best. The Jockey confirmed the Instructions and said that he had done his best. The Trainer stated that he was satisfied with the Jockey riding.

The matter was reported to the Stewards who after viewing the race decided that no action was called for in the matter.

After the race,  LHOTSE, PURE BLISS and CONSTANTINE (examined on 31/08/2014) were found to be sound.
