At the request of Jockey D.K.Ashish, the saddle on his mount SPEAR OF TRIUM was adjusted at the starting gate. 

After being stalled, GASCONY (S.Zervan) sat on its haunches and whilst being taken out of the gate, the filly got loose and bolted towards the 1600 metres mark, as such, the field was off loaded. Thereafter, GASCONY was caught and brought back and when reloaded, the filly continued to play up and jammed herself behind one of the rear flaps which gave way due to the filly leaning heavily on it. Therefore, GASCONY was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s Order. Trainer B.Prakash has been asked to give the filly more gate practice and show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

Trainer H.J.Antia has been fined Rs.1,000/- for using Bandages on the fore fore-legs of his charge MOUNTAIN WARRIOR, without obtaining permission.

Jockey P.Trevor (CHASE THE ACE, dr.19) has been fined Rs.3,000/- for cutting across the field soon after the start and in the process going across the entire field.

Soon after the start, EMBER LADY (C.S.Jodha) was tightened for room while racing on the inside of FAJR (S.G.Prasad).

Passing 400 metres, MR MORRISON (V.Chandrakant) and MOUNTAIN WARRIOR (App.S.J.Sunil) made contact with each other.

EMBER LADY (C.S.Jodha) was held up for a run in last 150 metres due to lack of room and then abruptly shifted out and jostled with CON MAN (Akash Agarwal).

Jockey Dashrath Singh (ROYAL SAPPHIRE) reported that his mount hung in throughout the race. Trainer Narendra Lagad has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.

Jockey S.Sunil (TEMPEST) was observed to have used the whip in excess of the prescribed limit. Since the filly lugged-in in the straight and the whip was used as a corrective measure, no action has been initiated against the Jockey. However, Trainer Bezan Chenoy has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.

App.G.Amit (MOUNTAIN TREASURE) reported that his mount was uncomfortable throughout the race and in the final furlong he did not ride his mount. The Sr.V.O. was requested to examine the gelding and he reported that MOUNTAIN TREASURE was examined at the stables in the morning on 05/12/2014 and was found to be sound.

CONMAN (Akash Agarwal) ran erratic in the straight and was held up for a run in the final stages of the races.

After the race, GASCONY was observed to have an abrasion at the left hip and ARMEL had a gum injury. ROYAL SAPPHIRE, EARTH ORBIT, TEMPEST, CON MAN and MOUNTAIN WARRIOR, were found to be sound.
