PRINCESS ATHENA (Vishal N. Bunde) reared up and fell backward behind the starting gate, as such, the filly was withdrawn before coming under Starter’s Order.
 
The Sr. V.O. reported that before loading PRINCESS ATHENA reared up and fell on her head and started bleeding from the nostrils, showing symptoms of nervousness and could not get up. First Aid treatment was initiated and the case was handed over to the Equine Hospital Vet for further management.  Subsequently, the Equine Hospital Vet reported that even after giving required treatment, the filly was unable to get up and bleeding was noticed from the nostrils and ears. Despite multiple attempts the filly was unable to get up and also was showing signs of in-coordination and nervousness. Finally, with the consent of Trainer Altaf Hussain, the filly was euthanized on humanitarian grounds.
