Trainer Suresh Chavan who was deputizing for Trainer Janardhan, reported that while coming to the saddling enclosure, PLAN B bolted and ran around in the rolling area. The gelding was caught and brought to the saddling enclosure. On examination, the gelding was found to be sound but was observed to be exhausted and sweating profusely. As such, PLAN B was withdrawn from the race.

WINCHESTER (Dashrath Singh) was restless in the stall and not allowing the rider to settle. Trainer H.J.Antia has been asked to give the gelding more gate practice and show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

FOXTROT (App.Prabhu Naidu, dr.6)mped out awkwardly and went onto STAR GLORY (Hanumant Singh, dr.4) who in turn went across CLOUD COVER (A.M.Tograllu, dr.3). As App.Prabhu Naidu had not made sufficient efforts to correct his mount, he has been fined Rs.1000/-.

At about 700mts, FOXTROT (App.Prabhu Naidu) had to be steadied by its rider due to a packed field.

While negotiating the bend, RAN BANKA (C.S.Jodha) shifted out bumping FALLEN ANGEL (App.Tushar Nemane).  Jockey C.S.Jodha has been severely cautioned.

Jockey J.E.Pereira (GLORIA) reported that had no initial speed but she came on well in the straight. The filly has run similarly in the past and hence he had recommended to the Trainer that the filly be given more distance.

Trainer Mansoor Shah (FOXTROT) was questioned regarding the Running of his charge, he said that the distance of 1000 mts must have been sharp and being a dry coat horse, she must have not liked the heat as this was the second race of the day. Trainer further stated that he just gave him a small chance as in the recent past the horse has not shown any form. The explanation was noted for future reference.  

After the race, GLORIA and FOXTROT were found to be sound.
