ISINIT (J.E.Pereira) jumped out awkwardly throwing its head and lost about 3 lengths at the start. Trainer Sangramsinh N.Joshi has been asked to give the filly more gate practice and show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race. 

An objection was lodged by Jockey P.Trevor,  rider of GOVERNOR GENERAL (Placed Second) against FLYING SHOW (S.Zervan, Placed First). The reason being, approaching the 400 metres, FLYING SHOW bumped his horse and took his ground, due to which he had to check his mount, stop riding and then pull him out whereby he lost ground and the verdict being a short-head, he lost a certain race.

After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards  and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to over-rule the objection.

Soon after jump out, JACKNIFE (Amyn Merchant, dr.7) veered inwards and made contact with CORABELLA (Neeraj Rawal, dr.5). After questioning Jockey Amyn Merchant and not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by him, he was fined a sum of Rs.2000/- for failing to maintain a straight course soon after the start.

App.Bhawani Singh (THE MESSIAH) reported that his mount jumped out slow and subsequently did not respond to his urgings.

Jockey J.E.Pereira (ISINIT) reported that his mount threw her head at start and took no part in the race.

After the race, GOVERNOR GENERAL was found to be sound.
