After being stalled, SIR DESMOND (P. Trevor, dr.3) and COAT OF ARMS (B. Nikhil, dr.1) played up in the stall. Both the horses were taken out and withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order. Trainers S. K. Sunderji and Narendra Lagad have been asked to give their respective charge more gate practice and show them to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.
 
NIGHT FURY (P. S. Chouhan) and RITZ (J. E. Pereira) jumped out slow, losing about 2 lengths each, at the start.
 
Trainer C. Rajendra (SILVER EDGE) has been fined Rs.2,000/- for faulty application of equipment wherein the Sheep Skin Nose Band used on his charge came loose during the race and fell off passing the 300 metres.
 
After the race, Jockey P. S. Chouhan (NIGHT FURY) reported that his mount was inclined to run out throughout the race. Trainer Karthik Ganapathy has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.
 
An enquiry has been initiated into the running and riding of RITZ and a report will be submitted shortly.
 
After the race, SIR DESMOND was observed to have an abrasion at the left fore fetlock and left hind stifle. NIGHT FURY, SIMONA and SECRET FLAME were sound in trot.
