SPORTING SMILE (App. Gaurav Singh) stumbled immediately after the start for no apparent reason in the process shifted in and tightened THEO S CHOICE (P. Sai Kumar) and WOT S UP JAY (G. Naresh) drawn on his inside. Since the incident being purely accidental no action beyond noting the same was taken.

Jockey Koushik (N R I BLUE) reported that the brow band of the bridle of his mount came out from the left ear, as such he was unable to control his mount from shifting in soon after the start on to the inner rails and thereafter he could not ride out his mount to complete advantage. As this confirmed our observation, no action beyond noting the same was taken. Trainer G. Shashikanth was cautioned to ensure that proper care should be taken in fixing of equipments on his charge in future.

Explanation of Jockey Akshay Kumar (STAR RACER) that his mount did not a raise fluent gallop throughout the race inspite of his best efforts. Trainer S. Sreekant while confirming the above added that his charge has run in similar manner in the previous runs. As the gelding has come down in Category III and running in age group, with a better Jockey, he has fancied his charge. The Trainer further added that his charge ran to his potential noted. However Trainer S. Sreekant was informed that any reversal of form in respect of his charge, he will be liable for severe disciplinary action as deemed fit.

BEDFORD (App. Santosh Raj N R) winner of the race is sampled.
