MOUNTAIN STORM (R Anand) jumped out awkwardly, did not raise a fluent gallop and lost many lengths at the start. In view of its behaviour Trainer Mr. V Lokanath was informed that he must not accept with it again until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in one mock race on a race day on the race track.

The Stipendiary Stewards reported Jockey S. Selvaraj, the rider of ICESTONE to the Stewards for riding an incompetent race (Rule No 161(ii)) of the BTC Rules of Racing. The Stewards held an enquiry after the last race on 24th June, 2012 and examined Trainer Mr. Irfan Ghatala and Jockey S. Selvaraj. After deliberations, they decided to (a) suspend the Jockey's Licence granted to Jockey S. Selvaraj from 4th July, 2012 to 11th July, 2012 (both days inclusive) for riding an incompetent race Rule No 161(ii)) of the BTC Rules of Racing on his mount ICESTONE in the above race (permitted to ride work) and (b) caution Trainer Mr. Irfan Ghatala as to the selection of riders for his charges in future.
