At the start, PEPE SENIOR (M.A.Roushan) jumped out awkwardly and was slow to begin.

Soon after the start, DREAMS R MINE (Akash Agarwal) was tightened for room and steadied while racing between MABLE (App.S.Mosin) and BUCHAREST (Dashrath Singh).

Near 700 metres, ALKAZI (Nirmal Jodha) shifted out and caused ARABIAN GLORY (R.Shelar) to travel wider as the saddle on ALKAZI had shifted forward and the Rider lost control over his mount.

Between 300 metres and 200 metres, PEPE SENIOR (M.A.Roushan) drifted outwards and carried DREAMS R MINE (Akash Agarwal) outwards. Jockey M.A.Roushan has been cautioned for not making sufficient efforts to control the outward movement of his mount and Trainer Rehanullah Khan has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.

ALKAZI (Nirmal Jodha) was pulled up by its Rider before passing the winning post. On questioning, Jockey Nirmal Jodha stated that the saddle on his mount had slipped forward, as such, Trainer Magansingh P.Jodha has been fined Rs.2,000/- for faulty saddling of his charge.

A Stewards’ Enquiry was held in this race. The reason being, ICE SKATES (Kavraj Singh, placed 2nd) shifted in at about 400 metres and bumped MABLE (App.S.Mosin, placed 3rd). Thereafter, travelling 300 metres, ICE SKATES again shifted in and caused MABLE (App.S.Mosin) to be checked by its rider.

After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards  and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to revise the order of placing as under:-

BUCHAREST             -                  FIRST;            ICE SKATES              -        THIRD;
MABLE                       -                  SECOND;       BRUNELLO               -        FOURTH    

The Stewards after the last race interviewed Jockey Kavraj Singh for Careless riding on his mount and not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by him, decided to suspend his Jockey’s License w.e.f. 15th January, 2013 to 20th January, 2013 (both days inclusive) (permitted to ride work/mock race).

DOUBLE DIAMOND (V.Chandrakant) was inclined to lug in during the race. Trainer Narendra Lagad has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.

After the race, MABLE, ALKAZI, ICE SKATES, DREAMS R MINE and COQUETTE (examined on 31/12/2012) were found to be sound.
