Consequent to Jockey Nakhat Singh having been declared medically unfit to ride, the Stewards of the club permitted App. R S Jodha to be substituted on GALORE.

GALORE (App. R S Jodha) jumped out slowly losing about 3 or 4 lengths and thereafter trailed the field throughout the race. Trainer K. Satheesh was advised for a better performance in future.

Explanation of Jockey Akshay Kumar (SANGREAL) that his mount stumbled soon after the start for no apparent reason and when asked for effort in the straight, his mount did not extend and gradually gained ground inspite of his best efforts was confirmed by Trainer K.S.V. Prasad Raju, noted. Subsequent Veterinary examination revealed that the filly sustained cut injury over right hind. However, the filly was trotting sound after the race.

Jockey A. Ashhad Asbar (KNOTTY LUZI) reported that his mount ran green throughout the race inspite of his best efforts, noted.

Explanation of Jockey B. Nikhil (BARCHETTA) that his instructions were to sit close with front bunch and not to ride out at the bend as the filly tends to run out which he tried to follow and thereafter when asked for an effort in the straight his mount shortened her strides inspite of his best efforts, noted for future reference.
