As ABERLOUR (S. Jaykumar) was heading to the start, it was observed that the gelding was not sporting the declared equipment i.e. Blinkers. Subsequently Trainer Altamaash A. Ahmed was informed and the said equipment was put at the starting gate. Trainer Altamaash A. Ahmed has been fined Rs.2,000/- for the lapse on his part.

On arrival at the start, SHIVALIK QUEEN (A.Sandesh) was examined by the Club’s Sr.V.O. who certified the filly fit to race.

At the start, AME (App. Aniket Karande, dr.10) jumped inwards and went across ABERLOUR (S. Jaykumar, dr.9) and BROTHERSOFTHEWIND (B. Nikhil, dr.8).

At the start, THEA’S PET (Hanumant Singh, dr.7) jumped out awkwardly and thereafter veered out and had to be steadied. In view of a similar behavior of the filly in her previous start, Trainer Narendra Lagad has been asked to take remedial measures and show the filly to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in a mock race before next accepting with her to race.

In the final stages of the race, ABERLOUR (S. Jaykumar) was observed to have drifted out under the whip. After questioning, Jockey S. Jaykumar has been warned for failing to change his whip hand despite his mount shifting out.

An enquiry has been initiated into the running and riding of STORMY ATLANTIC and a report will be submitted shortly.

After the race, STORMY ATLANTIC and AME were trotted and found to be sound.
