The Club’s V.O. reported that on the way to the start, APPALACHIA was observed to be trotting sore. On examination, it was confirmed that the gelding was sore from the right fore leg. As such, APPALACHIA was certified unfit to race and withdrawn on veterinary grounds. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race. 

An objection was lodged by Jockey S.Sunil, rider of    MYLA ROSE, (Placed Second) against WINSTON (S.Zervan, Placed First). The reason being, around 250 metres, WINSTON started boring him and in the last 150 metres, he came across sharply whereby he had to stop riding and check his mount, which cost him a certain race.

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.

The Stewards after the last race interviewed Jockey S.Zervan for improper riding on his mount WINSTON and not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by him, decided to suspend his Jockey’s license w.e.f. 13^th April, 2013 to 21^st April, 2013 (both days inclusive) (permitted to ride work/mock race).
