Near 700 metres, PRETTY IN PATPONG (Hanumant Singh) shifted in caused interference to PRESIDENT (Kavraj Singh). Jockey Hanumant Singh has been fined Rs.3,000/-.

Soon on entering the straight, PRESIDENT (Kavraj Singh) put in an awkward stride and was unbalanced momentarily.

Near 300 metres, KISS THE STAR (Anil Baandal) shifted-in, due to which HUNTING PLEASURE (M.A.Roushan) was steadied for a few strides.

Jockey C.S.Jodha (MY FREEDOM) reported that his mount lugged-in in the straight. Trainer Asad Siddiqui has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.

An enquiry has been initiated into the running and riding of ENGLISH LASS, TERRIFIC and SNOW BLAST and a report will be submitted shortly.
