At the request of Trainer P. Shroff, endoscopy was performed on DES MARQUIS at 10.06 a.m. at the Equine Hospital on 2nd January, 2024 and was diagnosed to have EIPH (Gr. III), as such, the colt was certified unfit to race and was permitted to be withdrawn on Veterinary grounds. The colt is not to race for the stipulated ban period of four weeks and has to be passed fit by Club’s V.O., before next accepting to race.
 
Jockey N. S. Parmar (EXUMA) was observed to have used the whip in excess of the prescribed limit on his mount. On questioning, Jockey N. S. Parmar stated that his mount was inclined outwards and he had used the whip as a corrective measure. As the same was borne out from the video recording of the race no action has been initiated against Jockey N. S. Parmar. However, Trainer M. K. Jadhav has been asked to take remedial measures, before next accepting to race.
 
After the race, GANGSTER & EXUMA were trotted and found to be sound and REGAL COMMAND was trotted at the stables and found to be sound.
