At the start, GLOWING STAR (A.J.Nilesh, dr.1) jumped out awkwardly outwards and then hung out and in the process went on to SONEEYO (C.S.Jodha, dr.2), who in turn went out on to RISKY BUSINESS (B.Prakash, dr.3). Trainer Faisal A.Abbas has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.  

Trainer Bezan Chenoy was questioned regarding the comparative performance of his charge SONEEYO. The Trainer stated that in the previous run he wanted Jockey Imran Chisty to be well up, behind the leader, but he cut pace and he did not want the Jockey to ride the way he did. Today, his instructions were to sit last which may have suited the horse. He added that the colt was running 200 metres more than last and he ran in a higher Class this time carrying about 10 kg less this time. To another question, he stated that he had not fancied the colt this time and the horse was available at longer odds. The explanation was noted. 

After the race, INVICTUS was observed to have broken a blood vessel. Being a second time bleeder, the gelding is not to race for the stipulated period of eight weeks. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s VO before next accepting to race.

After the race, GLOWING STAR and STAR TREASURE were found to be sound.
