ALMOST MAGICAL (Amyn Merchant) refused to be stalled despite substantial efforts, as such, the gelding was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order. Trainer Faisal A. Abbas 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.

After being stalled, CAMBRIDGE (Neeraj Rawal) played up in the stall. The gelding was taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O. who certified him fit to race. JARAMA (App. S. A. Amit) and HIROHAMA (App. R. Ajinkya) jumped out slow losing about 6 lengths and 4 lengths respectively. Trainers P. Shroff, S. Waheed and B. Prakash have been asked to give their respective charge more gate practice and show them to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, POWERHAUS (Dashrath Singh dr. 5) jumped inwards thereby starting a chain reaction due to which JIMBO (App. K. Nazil dr. 4) & SPIRIDON (App. D. S. Daman) were inconvenienced.

Passing the 700 metres, CAMBRIDGE (Neeraj Rawal) shifted in thereby tightening SPIRIDON (App. D. S. Daman) along the rails forcing the latter to be checked. Jockey Neeraj Rawal has been fined Rs.3,000/-.

Passing the 500 metres, App. D. S. Daman (SPIRIDON) was observed to have lost his whip this being his first offence no action has been initiated.
