Explanation of Trainer K. Satheesh with regard to the inconsistent running of his charge KINGSTON (App. R S Jodha) the winner of this race who finished off board in the previous run that his charge in the previous race has run in a higher category and finished 6th, before to that in Race No. 94 in the lower category finished 3rd. This race being in the lower category and allowance claiming Jockey in the saddle has been to his charges advantage and the gelding just managed to win the race, noted. The Trainer was however, cautioned to ensure that his charges race more consistently in future.

INDIE (App. Abhay Singh) stopped galloping at about the 800 mtrs and did not complete the course. Subsequent Veterinary examination revealed that the gelding was lame on left hind, collapsed and died probably due to shock.
