Trainer Shazaan Shah has been fined Rs.5,000/- for failing to declare his charge OPTIMUM in this race after having accepted with him.
 
After being stalled, BESHIKTASH (A. Imran Khan) played up in the stall. The gelding was taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O. and found to have a bleeding injury on the right hind leg, just below the stifle. As such, the gelding was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s Order. Trainer S. K. Sunderji has been asked to give the gelding more gate practice and to show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race. Further, the trainer is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the gelding from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting with him to race.
