An Objection was lodged by Jockey Dashrath Singh, rider of NAZRANA (Placed 3^rd) against PLATED (T.S.Jodha, Placed 2^nd). The reason being, at about 300 metres, PLATED came on to him and cut across his horse, whereby he and his horse got unbalanced and he had to stop riding at a crucial juncture and thereafter his horse came back with a re-run and had it not been for the interference, he would have beaten PLATED.

After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards  and relying on their judgment, the Stewards upheld the objection and revised the order of placing of the race as under :-

ZAAN                                     -               First;                                       PLATED                -               Third

NAZRANA                            -               Second;                                 IBIS                         -               Fourth

The Stewards after the last race interviewed Jockey T.S.Jodha and having heard him and having viewed the video recording of the race, decided to suspend his Jockeys License for 25^th October 2014 for Careless Riding. (Permitted to ride work/ Mock race).

In the above incident, ZAAN (Mudassar Nazar) who was following NAZRANA  (Dashrath Singh), was inconvenienced and forced to shift out as NAZRANA was steadied due to the interference and lost position.

NAZRANA (Dashrath Singh) lugged-in in the straight. Trainer Narendra Lagad has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.

An enquiry has been initiated into the comparative performance of ZAAN and a report will be submitted shortly.

After the race, NAZRANA was found to be sound, but having an injury at the right nostril. PLATED was found to be sound.
