MOON RAKER (P.Trevor) jumped out tardily, losing about 2 lengths at the start.

At the start, RUN LIKE THE WIND (Kavraj Singh) jumped out awkwardly.  FAJR (S.Sunil) was steadied. 

An objection was lodged by Jockey Daniel M.Grant,  rider of  ZANTHOS (Placed Second) against VICTOIRE (I.Pasha, Placed First).  The reason being, near 200 metres, VICTOIRE shifted out violently whereby he had to check his horse for a stride or two which cost him the race.

At the behest of the Stipendiary Stewards, a Stewards’ Enquiry was also held in this race. The reason being, VICTOIRE shifted out near 300 metres on to FAJR (S.Sunil) who in turn shifted out and interfered with GLOWING MIST (C.S.Jodha) who clipped the heels of NIGELLA (Zameer Sayyed) and got unbalanced and fell and in the process collided with MOON RAKER (P Trevor) who was also unbalanced.

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 over-rule the objection lodged by Jockey Daniel M.Grant and to forfeit his deposit.  As for the Stewards Enquiry, the Stewards decided that no change in the order of placing was called for.

Jockey Kavraj Singh (RUN LIKE THE WIND) reported that his mount lugged out during the race. Trainer Dallas Todywalla has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the colt.

Jockey S.Sunil (FAJR) reported that his mount lugged out during the race. Since FAJR was reported to be sore after the race, no action has been initiated in the matter.

POLAR ZONE (Dashrath Singh) lugged-in in the straight. Trainer Sanjay Kolse has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.

Jockey D.K.Ashish (AMORA) was observed to have used the whip in excess of the prescribed limit on his mount. His explanation that AMORA hung out in the straight and he had used the whip in excess as a corrective measure, was accepted. Further, since AMORA was reported to be sore after the race, no action has been initiated in the matter.

After the race, AMORA and FAJR (examined on 08/03/2013) were found to be sore by the left fore leg and left hind leg respectively. Both the horses have to be passed fit by the Club’s VO before next accepting to race.

After the race, MOON RAKER was found to be sound, but having an abrasion at the right fore fetlock. RUN LIKE THE WIND and POLAR ZONE were found to be sound.
