Permission was granted to Trainer Mr. J. Babu Rao to substitute Jockey

Sahanawaz to ride FRENEMEE in place of Jockey M. Prasad the declared rider.

Permission was granted to Trainer Mr. S. Ganapathy to withdraw FRONT RUNNER (B. Sreekanth) on veterinary grounds as it fell over in the saddling enclosure and was found to be lame on right hind. Trainer was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club's Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.

LITTLE MAESTRO (David Allan) was slowly away, swerved towards left, went on the sand track and did not take practical part in the race. In view of its behaviour Trainer Mr. S. Padmanabhan was informed that he must not accept with it again until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in two Mock Races on race days on the race track.

Jockey B.L. Paswan, the rider of THE SCIENTIST, reported that his mount was hanging in throughout the race. The horse was impounded for veterinary examination and the Club's Veterinary Officer reported that the horse had sustained gum injuries. However, Trainer Mr. Irfan Ghatala was informed to take appropriate corrective measures before accepting with it again.

Jockey Martin Wepner, the rider of SAREETA, was fined Rs.1,000/- for the excessive use of the whip on his mount during the race (1st infringement).

An enquiry is being held into the change of rider of FRENEMEE trained by Mr. J. Babu Rao in the above race.
