ELECTRA (Deep Shanker) lost 3 lengths at the start.

ORIENTAL MASTI (Amyn Merchant) lugged in during the race and near 800 metres shifted in and made contact with STRATEGY (App.Sandeep Jadhav) and again soon on entering the straight shifted in and hampered the running of ICE SKATES (App.S.Mosin). Trainer Bezan Chenoy has been asked to take remedial measure before next accepting to race the gelding.

ICE EMPIRE (S.P.Ranjane) and BANANA BOY (Altaf sayyed) leaned on to each other for a few strides soon on entering the straight.

Trainer S.K.Sunderji and Jockey T.Bernard were questioned regarding the running and riding of WOVEN DREAMS. The Instructions were to be in mid bunch, 4^th or 5^th position and to ride out the horse. Jockey T.Bernard confirmed the instructions and said that he had done his best. The video recording of the race was viewed and it was pointed to them that the Jockey had not made sufficient efforts to sit in the mid bunch and he was very feeble in his riding effort and when he started riding out in the last 150 metres the horse had improved. The Trainer stated that the horse had tendon problem and was running after 3 months and hence he had told the Jockey not to be hard on the horse. Not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by the Trainer and Jockey,   both  have been fined Rs.5,000/- each.

After the race, BANANA BOY was found to be sore by the right fore leg. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s VO before next accepting to race.

After the race, WOVEN DREAMS, STRATEGY, ELECTRA, ORIENTAL MASTI and FLYING KISS were found to be sound.
