TO THE MOON (App.D.S.Daman) jumped out slow, losing about 7 lengths at the start. Trainer Narendra Lagad has been asked to give the mare more gate practice and show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

VOICE OF FAITH (Zameer Sayyed) commenced to run outwards from 800 metres, and hung-out further while negotiating the bend and raced along the outer rails, and in trying to exercise control over his mount, the bit slipped to the right side whereby the rider was unable to ride out. Trainer S.S.Shah has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the colt.

TO THE MOON (App.D.S.Daman) hesitated at jump-out and lost considerable ground and joined the field near 1000 metres. When questioned, App.D.S.Daman stated that his instructions were to be in 3rd or 4th position and to do his best. The Apprentice added that since the mare was slowly out, he did not brush her up to take position as instructed due to uphill climb, and then he had gradually improved his position and has done his best.

The Sr.V.O. reported that after completion of the race,  ALWAYS THERE was observed to be returning sore from the left fore leg.  First Aid treatment was administered on the track and the filly was sent to the Equine Hospital by Horse Ambulance for further management.
