Explanation of Trainer L.D’ Silva with regard to the inconsistent running of his charge GRAND CANYON (App. A.A.Vikrant) who finished close 2nd in the present race as compared to the previous run, that though his charge had finished 8th in the previous race was very close just 4 lengths from the winner, further the gelding was also denied a clear run in the final stages of the race due to which the Jockey could not ride out his mount to complete advantage.  As this confirmed our observation, Trainer’s explanation was noted.
