Explanation of Jockey Akshay Kumar (TURNING WHEEL) in the presence of Trainer R. H. Sequeira that his mount hesitant to raise a fluent gallop soon after the start and thereafter the filly got keen after travelling about 100 mtrs as such he opted to sit close with front runners until entering into straight and when asked to accelerate, the filly started dropping back from about the 300 mtrs inspite of his best efforts.  The Trainer while confirming the above added that this is the first run of the filly in her carrier as a 4 year old, carrying the top weight was not to her advantage.  The Trainer added that he has fancied his charge based on her performance in the mock race.   The Trainer further added that other than this he has no plausible explanation to offer with regard to his charges dismal performance. Subsequent Veterinary examination revealed that the filly has blood in the race.
 
Explanation of App. Gaurav Singh (WINNING PLAYER) that his mount was tending to run out in the straight in the process veered out 10 to 12 horses wide at about the 300 mtrs inspite of his best efforts.  Trainer M. Srinivas Reddy was advised to take remedial measures before next accepting in a race.
