At the start, REMY RED (J. Chinoy, dr.3) jumped inwards and at the same time TOUSSAINT (Neeraj Rawal, dr.1) jumped outwards due to which PYRRHUS (C. S. Jodha, dr.2) drawn between them was tightened for room and had to be steadied.

FLASHING FAMOUS (T. S. Jodha) leaned outwards on to TOUSSAINT (Neeraj Rawal).

An objection was lodged by Jockey Neeraj Rawal, rider of TOUSSAINT placed fifth by the Judge against Jockey T. S. Jodha rider of FLASHING FAMOUS placed third by the Judge. On the grounds that he was tailing FLASHING FAMOUS (T. S. Jodha) till the 600 metres, turning into the straight he came alongside him and from the 500 metres, when he was trying to make a run at which time FLASHING FAMOUS (T. S. Jodha) moved out, bumped and bored him on three occasions which had intimated his horse to raise a fluent gallop and the verdict being ¾ lengths between them it cost him a certain place.

After reviewing the race from various angles and considering the submissions made by the concerned Jockeys in conjunction with the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their own observation of the race, the Stewards decided that it was accidental and over-ruled the objection.

After the race, on questioning Jockey T. S. Jodha (FLASHING FAMOUS) stated that his mount was inclined outwards despite his efforts. Trainer H. J. Antia has been asked to take remedial measures, before next accepting to race.

After the race, PYRRHUS was found to be sore by the left fore leg. The filly has to be passed fit by the Club’s Sr. V.O., before next accepting to race.
