After being stalled, EXCELLENT TIMES (A.Sandesh) reared up and flipped over and came out from the underneath of the rear gate and bolted. As such, the gelding was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order.  FURIOSA  (App.Niranjan S.Parmar) who was in the adjoining stall was also taken out and examined by the Club’s Sr.V.O. who certified the mare fit to race.  Trainer S.S.Shah has been asked to give his charge EXCELLENT TIMES more gate practice and show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials before next accepting to race.
 
HODSON’S HORSE (S.S.Baria) was reluctant to be stalled and thereafter was restless in the stall thereby not allowing the rider to settle.  AUGURY (App.Gagandeep Mann) jumped out slow losing about 4 lengths at the start. Trainers Adhirajsingh Jodha and Altaf Hussain 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.
 
Approaching 400 metres, FLAMMEUS (App. K. Nazil) shifted in thereby inconveniencing PANARAEA (S.A.Amit). On being questioned after the race, App. K. Nazil stated that his mount hung in despite his efforts. Trainer Hosidar Daji has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the filly.
 
Passing 300 metres, ANNIVERSARY GIRL (Sunny Chinoy) who was racing between FLAMMEUS (App. K. Nazil) and HODSON’S HORSE (S. S. Baria), was held up for room and had to be steadied. After questioning all concerned, Jockey S. S. Baria has been cautioned.
 
The Sr.V.O. reported that HODSON’S HORSE showed signs of distress after returning from the race. After cold water hosing, the gelding recovered.
 
After the race, EXCELLENT TIMES (withdrawn at the start), was observed to have a deep cut injury on the right fore fetlock. The Trainer is required to obtain a fitness certificate for the gelding from the Club’s V.O. before next accepting to race.
 
After the race, FLAMMEUS was trotted and found to be sound.
