As the start was effected, it was observed that ESTABLISH PREDATOR (B.Nikhil) jumped out with the blindfold on, as such, a false start was declared by the Starter as he deemed that it was not a fair start. A Stewards’ enquiry was held at the conclusion of the race and considering that most of the horses had finished the race, and it was not practical to re-run the race, the Stewards decided to declare the race null and void.

The Stipendiary Stewards were directed to warn the Jockeys riding in this race for failing to pull up their mounts despite the sirens for false start being sounded.
