Trainer Mr Sharat Kumar and Jockey S. Mallikarjun were questioned regarding the running and riding of GORGEOUS GOLD. The trainer stated that the horse had a dip back and it was difficult for the Jockey to balance the horse after jumping out and that is why the rider slackened in at the start. He also stated that he was trying to school the horse and ensure that the horse jumps out well without losing any ground and performs well in the races in future.
