At the request of Trainer Magansingh P.Jodha, WHITESOX was examined at 0815 hours on 23/01/2015 and was found to have urticaria. As such, the gelding was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn on Veterinary grounds. The trainer is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the gelding from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

CHASING DREAMS (A.Ashhad Asbar) was reluctant to reach the starting point. Trainer Asad Siddiqui has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the mare.

After travelling some distance from the start, MOUNTAIN WARRIOR (App.Akshay Gaikwad, dr.4) shifted out and at the same time NATIONAL STAR (Sandeep Jadhav, dr.7) shifted in and jostled with each other.  Due to the impact, NATIONAL STAR shifted out and in turn jostled with SHIVALIK SKIES (Dashrath Singh).

Passing 1000 metres, ICE RINK (S.P.Ranjane) was tightened as ADMISSION (S.G.Prasad) leaned inwards due to  STALWART (R.Shelar) shifting in when shied away from CHASING DREAMS (A.Ashhad Asbar) on its outside.

An objection was lodged by Jockey Dashrath Singh, rider of SHIVALIK SKIES (Placed Second) against MAJESTERIAN (App.Bhawani Singh, Placed First). The reason being, in the last 5 to 10 metres, App.Bhawani Singh’s whip hit him, due to which his filly shied and drifted out due to the close proximity, which cost him a certain race.

After considering the submissions made by App.Bhawani Singh who was accompanied by Trainer Karthiik G. as also Jockey Dashrath Singh, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to over-rule the objection.
