STORMY PRINCESS (Kiran Naidu) was fractious and refused to be stalled in spite of all efforts, as such, the mare was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order. Since the mare had behaved in a similar manner previously, Trainer Arif Patel has been asked to take remedial measures and to show the mare to the satisfaction of the Starter in a Mock race, before next accepting to race.
