At the request of Trainer Altaf Hussain, SULTAN SULEIMAN was examined at 1030 hours on 13/10/2019 and found to be sore by the right fore leg, as such, the gelding was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn on veterinary grounds. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.
 
An objection was lodged by Jockey Neeraj Rawal, the rider of WIZARD OF STOCKS (Placed Second) against TROUVAILLE (C.S.Jodha, placed First). The reason being, at about 200 metres TROUVAILLE came in violently and cut across him, due to which he had to check his mount which broke the rhythm of his horse and this cost him a certain race.
 
After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to overrule the objection.
 
In the above connection, Jockey C.S.Jodha was asked to meet the Stewards for careless riding. Consideration of the matter was deferred.
 
The Equine Hospital reported that TROUVAILLE had right eye injury (sore, lacrimation), RHAPSODY had right eye injury (sore) and DADDY’S PRIDE had injuries to both eyes (sore).
 
After the race, RHAPSODY was trotted and found to be sound.
