Trainer Faisal A.Abbas has been fined Rs.3,000/- for bringing his charge MYLA ROSE late into the Paddock when the horse was to be led to the start, thereby delaying the start of the race.

In the process of stalling, the racing gear on BELLE BRISE (Amyn Merchant) came off. Attempts were made to refit the gear but the filly did not co-operate, as such, BELLE BRISE was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s Order.

DOUBLE DIAMOND (S.K.Jadhav) played up in the stall and in the process the rider got dislodged and was injured. As such, DOUBLE DIAMOND was also withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s Order.
