ATTAINED (Vishal N Bunde, dr.10) planted in the stall, taking no practical part in the race. Trainer Nazzak B. Chenoy has been asked to give her charge more gate practice and show the gelding to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

RICOCHET (T. S. Jodha dr.1) was reluctant to be stalled. Trainer Behram Cama has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the filly to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, CACHE (Vivek G., dr.2) stumbled thereafter made contact with RICOCHET (T. S. Jodha, dr.1) and leaned outwards thereby inconveniencing ART COLLECTOR (K. Nazil, dr.3) who had to be steadied.

An objection was lodged by Jockey P. Trevor, the rider of SINGER SARGENT (Placed 2nd) by the Judge against Antony Raj S., the rider of OPUS DEI (Placed 1st) by the Judge. The reason stated was, coming into the straight SINGER SARGENT was moving very comfortably and between the 300 & 250 metres, OPUS DEI started shifting out and took SINGER SARGENT out all through and specially in the last 100/150 metres, OPUS DEI nearly clipped him as he cut across him badly. Due to which P. Trevor had to break his strides completely and stop riding, which cost him a certain race.

After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards, having viewed the video recording of the race from various angles and relying on their judgment, the Stewards upheld the objection and revised the order of placing as under:-

SINGER SARGENT   -  FIRST;

OPUS DEI    -    SECOND;

TREASURE GOLD -   THIRD

BELIEVE     -  FOURTH

In view of above, Jockey Antony Raj S. was reported to the Stewards of the Club for careless riding after the last race. The Stewards of the Club at their meeting, held Jockey Antony Raj S. guilty of careless riding and keeping in mind his past record, decided to suspend his Jockeys licence for two race days i.e. on the first two race days of the Mumbai Meeting 2024/25 (permitted to ride work/mock race), dates of which will be intimated in due course.
