Trainer Mr. Warren Singh was questioned regarding the poor performance of his charge b g LADZONE and also as to the reason for the horse running as a prime favourite in the above race. The Trainer stated that (a) this horse had won a race in 40 to 65 category in the age group during last Winter Meeting over a distance of 1200 Metres; (b) thereafter it has gradually come down in rating; (c) today he was running it in 20 to 45 category in a relatively mediocre company; (d) it had worked well along with a decent 3 year old in his yard; (e) based on all these factors he fancied this horse very much to win the race and accordingly informed the connections in his stable; and (e) he was totally shocked at its poor performance and could not understand as to how it ran such a poor race. His explanations were noted.
