RIDING ONTHE STORM was withdrawn on compassionate grounds.

Jockey D.A.Naik, the declared Rider for FIREBACK, has been fined Rs.1000/- for reporting late to the Scales for Weighing out.

Approaching 600 metres, APOCALYPSE (F.Irani) shifted out forcing MOUNTAIN REGIMENT (Mansoor Khan) to be steadied to avoid the heels of BLUE KNIGHT (Ishwar Pardeshi).

Jockey Mansoor Khan (MOUNTAIN REGIMENT) has been cautioned for failing to ride out his mount to complete advantage in the straight.

Trainer H.J.Antia was questioned with regard to the comparative performance of his charge AWESOME SMILE in this race which the gelding won as compared to its previous run in Race No 25 run on 24^th November 2011. The Trainer explained that last time the horse ran over 1000 metres and was about 7 lengths behind the winner. He said that in that race the horse was improving throughout the straight until he met with interference which hampered its run, otherwise the gelding could have finished much closer to the winner than he actually did, which was confirmed after viewing the video recording of Race No 25. On the basis of that run, the extra 200 metres this time may have helped the horse. He further added that the field was poor as compared to last time and there was no common horse. The explanation was noted.  

Trainer Nosher Cama has been fined Rs.3,000/- for contravention of the Calendar Notification regarding use of Bandages in respect of his charge SATYAMEV JAYATE.

An enquiry has been initiated into the running and riding of APOCALYPSE and a report will be submitted shortly.

After completion of the race, FLASHING SWORD was observed to be sore by right fore leg. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s VO before next accepting to race.

After the race, SATYAMEV JAYATE was found to be sound. APOCALYPSE was examined on 19/12/2011 and found to be sound.
