The Sr. V.O. reported that after being stalled, ZAHRAZAN put her head down between her fore legs and stood awkwardly. The filly did not come out from the hind gate, hence efforts were made to take her out from the front gate during which process she got stuck under the gates. The filly was taken out and examined and was observed to be sound, except a small bruise on the left thigh, hence she was allowed to race.  The filly returned sound after the race. She was again examined at the stables in the morning on 17/04/2016 and was found to be sound when trotted and there was no swelling on the left thigh.

STORMY PRINCESS (Kiran Naidu) was fractious and refused to be stalled, as such, the mare was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order. Trainer Arif Patel has been asked to give the mare more gate practice and show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, SPEAR OF TRIUM (Hindu Singh, dr.3) jumped awkwardly outwards and at the same time BE CAUTIOUS (App. Yash Narredu, dr. 5) jumped inwards, due to which  MAGNUM OPUS (Dashrath Singh, dr. 4) was tightened for room and had to be checked.

Soon after the start, BE CAUTIOUS (App. Yash Narredu) shifted in under urgings thereby cutting across SPEAR OF TRIUM (Hindu Singh). App. Yash Narredu has been fined Rs.2,000/-.

Passing 300 metres, WIND CRAFT (A. Sandesh) was observed to have shifted in, as a result App. Vishal (ZAHRAZAN) had to check his mount and change course and in doing so, inconvenienced NIRBHAYA (App. Jaykumar). Jockey A. Sandesh has been cautioned.

After the race, NIRBHAYA was found to be sore by the right fore leg. The mare has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.

After the race, BE CAUTIOUS was trotted and found to be sound.
