GLOWING MIST (R.Vaibhav) was reluctant to reach the starting point thus delaying the start.  After being stalled, WIND AND RAIN (App.S.Mosin) tried to duck the gates and in the process its head gear got displaced. The gelding was taken out and the head gear was readjusted. WIND AND RAIN was examined by the Club’s V.O. who certified him fit to race. Trainers Magansingh P.Jodha and H.J.Antia have been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race their respective charges.

An objection was lodged by Jockey P.Trevor, rider of  DAREDEVIL (Placed Second) against NIGELLA (Zameer Sayyed, Placed First). The reason being, soon after jump out, NIGELLA dangerously bumped him out of the race whereby he could not maintain a well up position 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.

Jockeys R.Vaibhav (GLOWING MIST) and P.Trevor (DAREDEVIL) have been fined Rs.5,000/- for weighing out late, which resulted in the concerned horses being brought late into the Paddock when the other horses had already left the paddock for the start. 

At the start, VIVA CAPRI (Neeraj Rawal, dr.6) jumped awkwardly outwards and went across SPEEDING (Amyn Merchant, dr.7) and then went on to DAREDEVIL (P.Trevor, dr.8), who was tightened on to NIGELLA (Zameer Sayyed, dr.9) who had also shifted inwards at that stage.

DAREDEVIL (P.Trevor) was inclined to lug out in the straight, as such, Trainer Anil Kumar has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.

The Sr.V.O. reported that after completion of the race, ASHWA APOLLO was observed to be returning sore from the left fore leg. First Aid treatment was given and the mare was sent to the Equine Hospital by Horse Ambulance for further management. The mare has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

After the race, SEMINYAK, TURKANA (examined on 07/04/2013), VIVA CAPRI, WIND AND RAIN and GLOWING MIST were found to be sound. TURKANA had an injury on the left eye and WIND AND RAIN had a cut injury above the left eye.
