At the request of Trainer Dallas Todywalla, MI ARION was examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O. in the stable area at 08:00 pm on 20/07/2023 and was found to have colic, as such, the gelding was certified unfit to race and was permitted to be withdrawn on Veterinary grounds and has to be passed fit by Club’s V.O., before next accepting to race.

An objection was lodged by Jockey P. S. Chouhan, rider of DEMOCRACY placed third by the Judge against Jockey Bhawani Singh, rider of THE GENERAL placed first by the Judge, reason being in the last 200 metres, Jockey Bhawani Singh hit on his whip due to which Jockey P. S. Chouhan lost his whip at a crucial stage, thereafter in the last 50 metres, the winner came onto him and tightened him thereby taking his ground which cost him a certain race and if he wouldn’t have stopped riding, he could have fallen.

After reviewing the race from various angles and considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with the views of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their own judgment, the Stewards decided to uphold the objection and revised the order of placing as under:-

ATHENIAN                 -           FIRST;                        THE GENERAL          -           THIRD;

DEMOCRACY                       -           SECOND;       VIJAYA                       -           FOURTH

At the start, KOENIG (R. Shelar, dr.8) jumped inwards at the same time VIJAYA (C. S. Jodha, dr.7) jumped outwards and they made contact

Soon after the start, THE GENERAL (Bhawani Singh) shifted in and made contact with ATHENIAN (App. M. S. Deora) who had to be steadied thereafter SHE’S A TEASER (K. Nazil) shifted out and made contact with THE GENERAL (Bhawani Singh). Both the Jockeys Bhawani Singh and K. Nazil have been cautioned.

Passing the 600 metres, ALOYSIA (Neeraj Rawal) racing on the haunches of VIJAYA (C. S. Jodha) had to be steadied.

WARRIOR PRINCE (Vivek G.) was observed to have drifted out and raced on the extreme outside.

After the race, DEMOCRACY was found to have a cut injury on right hind cannon and VIJAYA was observed to have lost its right hind shoe.

The Equine Hospital reported that MAYSARA had right eye injury (sore), ALOYSIA had both eye injuries (sore) and BUBBLY BOY had left eye injury (sore).
