At the request of Trainer Nosher Cama, JETAWAY was examined at 1030 hours on 14/12/2017 and was found to be sore by the right hind leg. As such, the mare was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn on Veterinary grounds. The mare has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.
 
On arrival at the start, FRIBOURG (App. H. Zeeshan) was examined by the Club’s Sr. V.O. and was found to be sore by the right fore leg. As such, the gelding was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order. The gelding has to be passed fit by the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.
 
AIRLIFT (A. Imran Khan, dr.11) shifted in before the Red Marker and went across KODIAC QUEEN (App. D. S. Daman) who had to be checked and further shifted in on to VOULEZ VOUS (App. Raghuveer Singh) who in turn shifted in and carried BENEFICIAL (App. Parbat Singh) on to KNIGHT’S QUEST (J. Chinoy) thereby inconveniencing them. Having deliberated on the matter, the Stewards deferred the hearing to the meeting to be held after the races on Sunday, 17th December, 2017
 
After the race Jockey A. Imran Khan (AIRLIFT) reported that his mount hung in throughout the race. Trainer Faisal A. Abbas has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the gelding.
 
At the behest of the Stipendiary Stewards, a Stewards’ Enquiry was held in this race. The reason being, soon after the start, RISING BRAVE (P. S. Chouhan, Placed First) shifted in on to SYNCHRONICITY (Amyn Merchant) who had to be steadied. Thereafter, passing the Red Marker, RISING BRAVE (P. S. Chouhan) further shifted in thereby starting a chain reaction, due to which AIRLIFT (A. Imran Khan), VOULEZ VOUS (App. Raghuveer Singh) and BENEFICIAL (App. Parbat Singh) were tightened and shifted in on to KNIGHT’S QUEST (J. Chinoy) who was tightened for room, due to which the gelding stumbled thereby dislodging its rider. Due to the fall SUERTE (Bhawani Singh) was also inconvenienced.
 
After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to maintain the Order of Placing as declared by the Judge.
 
The Stewards of the Club at their meeting held after the last race, interviewed Jockey P. S. Chouhan for dangerous riding on his mount RISING BRAVE. Having deliberated on the matter, the Stewards deferred the hearing to the meeting to be held after the races on Sunday, 17th December, 2017.   
 
After the race, VOULEZ VOUS was trotted and found to be sound.
