After being stalled, Jockey Dashrath Singh requested his mount WARLOCK to be examined. The gelding was taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr V.O. who reported that while being loaded, WARLOCK hit its mouth on the front gates and injured its tongue and the wound started bleeding profusely. As such, WARLOCK was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn before coming under Starter’s Order. The Trainer is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the gelding from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.
 
SMART CHOICE (T. S. Jodha) refused to be stalled inspite of substantial efforts, as such, the mare was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s Order. Since the mare had behaved in a similar manner in its previous start, Trainer Vijay Kasbekar has been asked to take remedial measures and to show the mare to the satisfaction of the Starter in a Mock Race, before next accepting with her to race.  
 
At the start BLAZING STEPS (Vishal N. Bunde, dr. 5) was observed to have brushed the gates and jumped inwards tightening FINANCIER (Amyn Merchant, dr. 4) and ROMANTIC WARRIOR (C. S. Jodha, dr. 3) who in turn shifted in inconveniencing  MISS MONEYPENNY (A. Sandesh, dr. 2).
 
After the race, Jockey Nirmal Jodha (GODSENT) reported that his mount hung-in in the straight. Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha has been asked to take remedial measures.
 
An enquiry has been initiated into the running and riding of FERNEBACHE (N. S. Parmar) and a report will be submitted shortly.
 
The Equine Hospital reported that SPARKLING THEA had right eye injury with lacrimation.
 
After the race, BLAZING STEPS and FERNEBACHE were trotted and found to be sound.
