Traveling some distance further, KING JULIEN again shifted in caused interference to SPIRIT OF MERCY (T.S.Jodha) who scrapped the rails. Jockey B. Prakash was reported to the Stewards for Careless riding.

The Stewards interviewed Jockey B.Prakash in the above connection and having heard the submissions made by him and viewing the video recording of the race, were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by him and held him guilty of careless riding on his mount KING JULIEN. However, considering that he had admitted his guilt and apologized for the same, the Stewards took a lenient view in the matter and decided to suspend his Jockey’s license from 15^th December, 2011 to 18^th December, 2011 (both days inclusive) for careless riding. (permitted to ride work/mock race).

Jockey B.Prakash subsequently submitted a letter stating that he had a ride in The Casino Royale Indian 2000 Guineas scheduled to be run on Sunday, 18^th December, 2011 and therefore requested for deferment of commencement of his suspension of Jockey’s  license as per Club’s Notice dated 9th March, 2009.

In view of the above, his Jockey’s license shall now stand suspended w.e.f. 22^nd December, 2011 to 25^th December, 2011 (both days inclusive) (permitted to ride work/mock race).
