DIXIE DELIGHT (C.S.Jodha) took a fly jump.

App.D.S.Daman (SWORD OF HONOUR), when questioned, stated that his instructions were to go to the front, but when DOUBLE OR QUITS (Sandeep Jadhav) came alongside, his mount became keen and ran away despite his efforts.

Trainer M.K.Jadhav was questioned regarding the poor performance of UNICO CORAZON (A.Sandesh) who finished 6th, 19 lengths behind the winner. The Trainer stated that the filly raced over 2400 metres for the first time. On the form, the filly had no chance but she is well bred and he hoped that she will race better. He said that the filly won her first race i.e. Race No 53 well but in Class V and the horses in that race have performed poorly except ADAMS WING. He said that today the filly ran in a higher Class i.e. Class IV with good horses and with form. He added that he wanted to race the filly over 1800 metres earlier but the company was tough and the race was too soon and therefore he ran the filly over 2400 metres. To another question, the trainer stated that he does not control the odds and even he was surprised that the filly was a favourite. He further added that the body weight of the filly was around the same (i.e. 431 kg) as it was when she had won (i.e. 435). The explanation was noted.    

After the race, SWORD OF HONOUR was observed to have broken a blood vessel and is not to race for the stipulated ban period of four weeks. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

After the race, SWORD OF HONOUR, DIXIE DELIGHT and UNICO CORAZON were found to be sound.
