At the request of Trainer Altaf Hussain, MALAVIKA was examined at 0940 hours on 11/10/2018 and was found to have injury at the right shoulder and right knee, as such, the filly was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn on veterinary grounds. The trainer is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the filly from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting with her to race. 

App.Raghuveer Singh (SMART CHOICE) was observed to have used the whip in excess of the prescribed limit on his mount. This being his second offence during the current Pune Meeting, he has been fined Rs.5,000/-. 

On a complaint from the Owner, an enquiry has been initiated into the riding of  App.Raghuveer Singh on SMART CHOICE and a report will be submitted shortly. 

The Sr.V.O. reported that after the race, one blood trickle was observed from the right nostril of LORD COMMANDER. In order to confirm whether the blood is coming from the lung or local injury, the gelding was scoped at the Equine Hospital and it was confirmed to be EIPH (Gr.IV). The gelding is not to race for the stipulated ban period of four weeks and has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.
