After being stalled, NORD (R. Shelar, dr.14) played up and hooked one of its fore legs in the adjoining stall as such the horse was taken out and examined by the Clubs Sr. V.O. who certified him fit to race. Thereafter, he refused to be stalled and therefore he was withdrawn before coming under Starters order. Tr. H. J. Antia has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the colt to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

SUSSING (Akshay Gaikwad, dr.15) who was in the adjoining stall of NORD (R. Shelar, dr.14) got restless and started lashing out. The mare was taken out and examined by the Clubs Sr. V.O. and found to have bleeding injuries on left shank inside, right elbow outside and gum injury as certified unfit to race and was withdrawn before coming under the Starter’s order.

Passing the 1400 meters, SHADOWS (App. A. S. Peter) shifted in under urgings onto TEISPES (S. G. Prasad) who in turn shifted in thereby bumping and tightening WILLY WONKAA (S. J. Sunil) along the rails. Due to this incident both TEISPES (S. G. Prasad) and WILLY WONKAA (S. J. Sunil) had to be checked. After questioning App. A. S. Peter and not been satisfied with the explanation, his Jockeys licence has been suspended for one race day i.e. on 18th December 2022 for careless riding (permitted to ride work/mock race).

Passing the 400 metres, WILLY WONKAA (S. J. Sunil) shifted out under the whip thereby bumping and forcing ELEOS (Neeraj Rawal) outwards onto TWELFTH EARL (App. P. Vinod). After questioning Jockey S. J. Sunil and not being satisfied with the explanation, his Jockeys licence has been suspended for one day i.e. on 18th December’ 2022 for careless riding (permitted to ride work/mock race).

App. Mustakim Alam (POWER OF THOR) was observed to have ridden in an improper manner whereby he had used his reins to tap the horse in the last 300 metres. An enquiry has been initiated into this incident and a report will be submitted shortly.

Jockey S. J. Sunil (WILLY WONKAA) was observed to have used the whip in excess of the prescribed limit on his mount. This being his first offence during the current Mumbai Meeting 2022/23, he has been fined Rs.3,000/-.

After the race, ROYAL CASTLE was trotted and found to be sound.
