On the way to the start, COME ALIVE (C.S.Jodha) dislodged the rider and bolted. After consultation with the trainer, the colt was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s Order.

Passing 400 metres, SCONE (Nirmal Jodha) lugged out and went across ADMIRALS STRIDE (Kavraj Singh) and continued to do so till the Post. Trainer Altamaash A.Ahmed has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.

Near 300 metres, ADMIRALS STRIDE (Kavraj Singh) commenced to shift out under the use of the whip and caused ICE EMPIRE to shift out and later hampered the running of the latter who was tightened on to ANGEL CHILD (Aanthony Crastus) and then continued to use his whip with his right hand. Jockey Kavraj Singh was reported to the Stewards for Careless Riding.

The Stewards interviewed Jockey Kavraj Singh and having heard him and having viewed the video recording of the race,, were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by  him and decided to suspend his Jockey’s license for 15^th March, 2012 for careless riding. In that ADMIRALS STRIDE shifted out under use of the whip passing 300 metres and forced ICE EMPIRE (Daniel M.Grant) outwards on to ANGEL CHILD (Anthony Crastus) and Jockey Kavraj Singh made no effort to change his whip hand and correct the horse but kept shifting in further, as a result ICE EMPIRE (Daniel M.Grant) received interference and lost position. (permitted to ride work/mock race).

After the race, ADMIRALS STRIDE was observed to have lost his right hind plate. COME ALIVE, ECLIPSED, ICE EMPIRE and SCONE were found to be sound.
