After the race, the Sr. V. O. reported that KINZHAL had bled from his left nostril and declared as an EIPHS case. However, at the request of Trainer S. K. Sunderji the gelding was examined and found to have sustained an injury on left side of his forehead. Retrospective, after loading, the gelding had rushed to the front gates and therefore could have suffered an injury on his forehead at the gates thereby causing bleeding from frontal sinus into his left nostril. For further investigation an endoscopic examination was performed which revealed streaks of blood in trachea suggestive of only EIPHS Grade II. So, the statutory ban of four weeks was not imposed on KINZHAL.
