JOLEENE (D.K.Ashish) was reluctant to reach the starting point. Trainer Faisal A.Abbas has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.

Soon after the start, ULRIKA (C.S.Jodha, dr.13) shifted in and took the running of NATIONAL GOLD (I.Pasha, dr.12) who clipped the heels of the former and stumbled whereby the jockey was unbalanced and lost his stirrup which he regained after travelling some distance. Jockey C.S.Jodha has been suspended for 8^th February 2015 for Careless Riding. (Permitted to ride work/ Mock race).

Passing 800 metres, GRAND MARCH (App.S.J.Sunil) was tightened and lost position.

Near 700 metres, ROYAL SAPPHIRE (A.Sandesh) was tightened and steadied.

Soon on straightening for home, STATUESQUE (S.Mosin) and BLUE FLAME (S.P.Ranjane) made contact with each other.

Jockey I.Pasha (NATIONAL GOLD) was observed not to have ridden out his mount from 400 metres. When questioned, he said that due to the injury he received soon after the start where he was almost dislodged, he was in pain and could not ride out his mount.

Near 300 metres, BLUE FLAME (S.P.Ranjane) shifted in under the use of the whip and tightened STATUESQUE (S.Mosin). Jockey S.P.Ranjane has been suspended for 8^th February 2015 for Careless Riding.

Jockey S.P.Ranjane (BLUE FLAME) reported the loss of his whip near 200 metres. The explanation of the Jockey that the whip had made contact with the Rails whereby he lost it, was accepted.

An enquiry has been initiated into the comparative performances of NIRBHAYA and a report will be submitted shortly. 

An enquiry has been opened into the running and riding of OCEAN STAR and a report will be submitted later.

After the race, STATUESQUE was observed to have a cut injury at the right elbow.  MT TIANMEN was found to be sound.
