Explanation of App. Afroz Khan (STAR MEDAL) in the presence of Trainer K. Satheesh that his instructions were to go to front or sit 2nd which he tried to follow until entering straight and thereafter when asked for an effort, his mount did not show any turn of foot in the straight inspite of his best efforts. The Trainer while confirming the above added that his charge has not shown any form in this season and the gelding ran to the potential. The Trainer further added that he had not fancied his charge and was surprised to see the gelding running in this race as a favourite was noted for future reference.
