SHIVALIK MODEL (Mohit Singh) was observed to be trotting lame on left fore due to tendon strain, as such the filly was permitted to be withdrawn on Veterinary grounds.

Jockey Afroz Khan (WINDSOR) and App. Shivansh (PANCHO) were cautioned for failing to maintain a straight course soon after the start. App. Shivansh was further cautioned for losing position in the initial stages of the race for no apparent reason and also travelling wide while negotiating the final bend.

Explanation of App. Ajay Kumar (DECCAN DAISY) that his saddle moved back soon after the start as such he could not ride out his mount to complete advantage throughout the race. As this confirmed our observation, no action beyond noting the same was taken. Trainer K.S.V. Prasad Raju was however fined Rs. 3000/- for negligence in discharging his duties in saddling of his charge whose saddle moved back during the running of the race.

DEFINITE (P. Ajeeth Kumar) and EXPONENT (Gaurav Singh) did not raise a fluent gallop throughout the race and finished the course at the rear end of the field. Respective Trainers A. Vatsalya and K. Satheesh were advised for a better performance in future.
