Passing 1000 metres, STEPPENWOLF (P.S.Chouhan) leaned inwards on to DANCE THE DREEM (Robbie Downey), who in turn shifted in thereby inconveniencing RUN FOREST RUN (Y.S.Srinath). Jockey P.S.Chouhan has been cautioned.
 
Passing 650 metres, RUN FOREST RUN (Y.S.Srinath) shifted out and at the same time MOUNT OLYMPUS (C.Umesh) shifted in thereby bumping and tightening EXCELLENT SORRENTO (Suraj Narredu) forcing him to be checked. After questioning all concerned, Jockey Y.S.Srinath has been fined Rs.5,000/- and Jockey C.Umesh has been fined Rs.3,000/-.
 
An objection was lodged by Jockey Leigh Roche, the rider of NIGHT HUNT (Placed Fifth) against RED CARNATION (S.A.Amit, Placed Third). The reason being, in the last half furlong, RED CARNATION shifted out whereby he had to check his mount severely or else he would have finished third.
 
After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their judgement, the Stewards decided to over-rule the objection.
 
In the above connection, the Stewards directed the Stipendiary Stewards to initiate action against Jockey S.A.Amit for careless riding on his mount RED CARNATION.  Accordingly, the Stipendiary Stewards decided to fine Jockey S.A.Amit a sum of Rs.5,000/- for careless riding on his mount.  In that, passing the 200 metres RUN FOREST RUN (Y.S.Srinath) leaned inwards  due to which NIGHT HUNT (Leigh Roche) shied in and at the same time RED CARNATION (S.A.Amit) shifted out due to which NIGHT HUNT was hampered and had to be steadied.
