The Sr.V.O. reported that before the sixth race, RUNNING SUN was observed to have developed urticaria, as such, the horse was withdrawn on veterinary grounds.  The trainer is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the horse from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting with him to race.

MON AMI (Shrikant Kamble) whipped around after the start and in the process the Jockey was dislodged. Trainer Rehanullah Khan has been asked to give the gelding more gate practice and show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

Two objections were lodged in this race. One objection was lodged by Jockey P.Trevor, rider of BARRINGO (Placed Fourth) against TRANCE (Dashrath Singh, placed Second) and MYLA ROSE (C.S.Jodha, placed Third ). The reason being, approaching 300 metres TRANCE (Dashrath Singh) came in very sharply thereby bumping and boring him, due to which his horse, who was full of running,  lost complete stride. At the same time MYLA ROSE (C.S.Jodha) shifted out whereby his mount BARRINGO was completely squeezed between both the horses and this cost him a certain second place. The second objection was lodged by Jockey C.S.Jodha, rider of MYLA ROSE (Placed Third) against TRANCE (Dashrath Singh, placed Second). The reason being, between the 300 and 200 metres, TRANCE (Dashrath Singh) came on to BARRINGO (P.Trevor) who in turn came on to his horse twice, due to which his horse was unbalanced and he was unable to ride out in the last 100 metres. This cost him the second place, the verdict being a short-head.

After considering both the objections and having heard the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards  and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to revise the order of placing of the above race as under :-

MOUNTBATTEN        -        First;                     BARRINGO               -        Third;

MYLA ROSE              -        Second;                  TRANCE                  -        Fourth

The Stewards interviewed Jockey Dashrath Singh for careless riding on his mount TRANCE and having heard the submissions made by him and having viewed the video recording of the race, were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by him. The Stewards noted that approaching 300 metres TRANCE shifted in sharply under use of the whip and bumped BARRINGO (P.Trevor) who in turn jostled with MYLA ROSE (C.S.Jodha) who was on the inside and Jockey Dashrath Singh made no apparent effort to correct his mount or to change his whip hand. Had Jockey P.Trevor not pulled up BARRINGO, possibly the horse may have come down. 

The Stewards noted that Jockey Dashrath Singh’s license already stands suspended up to 12^th April, 2014 for unsatisfactory riding on RUBENS in Race No.209. Therefore, the Stewards decided to further suspend his Jockey’s license w.e.f. 13^th April, 2014 to 26^th April, 2014 (both days inclusive) for careless riding on TRANCE (permitted to ride work/mock race).

After the race, BARRINGO was observed to have broken a blood vessel and is not to race for the stipulated ban period of four weeks. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

After the race, MON AMI and TRANCE were found to be sound.
