Before the start of the race, the Starter reported that FINANCIER (P.S.Chouhan) arrived at the starting point sporting a Tongue Strap. Since prior permission to use the same was not obtained, the Tongue Strap was removed at the starting gates and Trainer Nosher Cama has been fined Rs.2,000/- for the lapse on his part.

At the request of Jockey Neeraj Rawal, the saddle on his mount STORM STAR was adjusted at the starting gate.

At the start, STORM STAR (Neeraj Rawal, dr.4) jumped inwards on to SUPER STRENGTH (App. H. Zeeshan, dr.3). Thereafter, OLIVIA KASPEN (App. A. S. Peter, dr.5) shifted in and made contact with STORM STAR, who in turn shifted in and bumped SUPER STRENGTH.  App. A. S. Peter has been cautioned.

At the start, NAME OF THE GAME (App. M. Ayyar, dr.9) shifted in and made contact with MACGYVER (App. K. Nazil, dr.8). Thereafter, NAME OF THE GAME further shifted in under urgings thereby bumping, tightening and unbalancing SPINNING GOLD (S. S. Baria, dr.7), FINANCIER (P. S. Chouhan, dr.6) and OLIVIA KASPEN (App. A. S. Peter, dr.5) respectively. After questioning App. M.
