ARABIAN WARRIOR (P Trevor) was examined at the starting gates by the Club's Veterinary Officer and was found to have nasal septum bleeding injury in left nostril. Under the circumstances it was permitted to be withdrawn on veterinary grounds before coming under starter's orders. Trainer Mr. J S Dhariwal was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club's Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.

At the behest of the Stipendiary Stewards, the Stewards ordered and held an enquiry into the running of the race and also considered the objection lodged by Jockey P S Chouhan, the rider of SOLITAIRE ROYALE placed 3rd by the Judge against Jockey's B Sreekanth the rider of MURIOI placed 1st and Jockey S John the rider of DUMA, placed 2nd for "Near the 300 Metres I was heading for the clear gap in front when the winner came in violently and bumped DUMA who in turn pushed the horse on the outside thereby my horse was unbalanced and lost a certain race". Jockey P.S. Chouhan during hearing of the objection clarified that his nature of objection before the Stewards and the error crept in the written objection. The Stewards held and enquiry immediately after the race and examined Jockey's P S Chouhan (SOLITAIRE ROYALE), Imran Chisty (ZENICA), S John (DUMA) and B Sreekanth (MURIOI) After detailed deliberations the Stewards decided to (a) disqualify MURIOI (B Sreekanth) from the above race and (b) uphold the objection lodged by Jockey P S Chouhan, the rider of SOLITAIRE ROYALE, placed 3rd against Jockey S John the rider of DUMA, placed 2nd and (c) revise the order of placing as under:
