NEW ENGLAND (Y. S. Srinath) was restless in the stall and thereafter, as the start was effected, the gelding put his head down resulting in losing about 4 lengths at the start. Trainer Imtiaz A. Sait has been asked to give the gelding more gate practice and show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.
 
An objection was lodged by Jockey Dashrath Singh, the rider of MAKINO (Placed Second) against MYGRATOR (P. S. Chouhan, Placed First). The reason being 100 metres from the post, as he raised his hand to whip his mount, Jockey P. S. Chouhan’s whip came in contact with his own which caused him to lose his whip and thereby a certain race.
 
After considering the submissions made by Jockey Dashrath Singh and Jockey P. S. Chouhan in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their judgement, the Stewards decided to over-rule the objection.
 
After the race, INCENTIO was found to be sore by the right fore leg. Also, the gelding had an abrasion at the left hind fetlock. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.
