Permission was granted to Trainer Mr. Pradeep Annaiah to withdraw TOPSPOT (K. Anil) on veterinary grounds as it was found to be lame on right fore due to inflammed elbow. He was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club’s Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.

Jockey Imran Chisty, the rider of BLITZSCHNELLE, placed III by the Judge objected against Jockey D.K. Ashish, the rider of PENTAGRAM, placed II, for “rounding the final bend when my horse was  full in running, the rider of PENTAGRAM (D.K. Ashish) came inside cut across sharply whereby I had to stop my mount which cost me a certain 2nd race”.  The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the race and interviewed the Jockeys concerned. It was established that near the 300 Metres PENTAGRAM ducked in sharply causing BLITZSCHNELLE to be checked.  After viewing the CCTV, considering the margin between the two horses, the Stewards decided to overrule the objection.

Jockey D.K. Ashish, the rider of PENTAGRAM, was fined Rs.5,000/- for coming in and causing severe interference to EMPEROR CRUISE (S. John) and BLITZSCHNELLE (Imran Chisty) on his inside passing the 250 Metres.
