Jockey Dashrath Singh (PORTO BANUS) reported that his mount ran green during the race.

Jockey N.S.Parmar (WALK OF LIFE) has been fined Rs.3,000/- for using the whip in excess of the prescribed limit on his mount.

Trainer H.J.Antia was questioned regarding the comparative performance of his charge STAR PRINCE in this race which the gelding won as compared to its previous run in Race No.208 run on 13^th February 2014 where the gelding had finished 9^th. The Trainer stated that the gelding ran in poor company today which can be gauged from the timing clocked by the horse in this race which was 1 Minute 27.34 seconds which was poorer as compared to the timing of 1 Minute 26.74 seconds clocked by the winner of Class V in the first race of the Day. When pointed out regarding the two common horses, the Trainer stated that vis-à-vis AROMATICA, his horse STAR PRINCE had finished 2 ¼ lengths behind, whilst giving ½ kg weight to AROMATICA. In this race, AROMATICA carried 3 ½ kg more as no weight allowance was claimed and was worse-off as compared to STAR PRINCE. And vis-a-vis JEN’S GLORY, STAR PRINCE was 5 kg better as the Trainer of JEN’S GLORY had not claimed any allowance in this start. When questioned if he had fancied the gelding in this race, Tr.Antia replied in the negative. The explanation was noted.

After the race, QUANDO QUANDO, JEN’S GLORY, CHINOOK and WALK OF LIFE were found to be sound.
