Jockey V.R. Jagadeesh replaced the indisposed Jockey Vivek on CRIQUETTE.

Jockey P. Kiran Rai replaced the indisposed Jockey Imran Chisty on FLAME OF PASSION.

SCENT OF SUCCESS (M Kumar) was slowly away.

AWESOME STAR (A Ashok Kumar) hung out for the major part of the race and carried ANGELA (Arshad Alam) wider on the track near the 800 Metres.

Jockey S. John, the rider of DEL SANTO, placed 2nd by the Judge objected against Jockey P. Kiran Rai placed 1st for "inside the last 200 Metres, the winner shifted in sharply and tightened and bumped me whereby I had to check my mount which cost me a certain race". The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the race and examined the Jockeys concerned. After deliberations, they decided to uphold the objection and revised the order of placings as under:

b g DEL SANTO I
ch f FLAME OF PASSION II
b f EQUINE LOVE III

Following an enquiry Jockey P Kiran Rai was fined Rs. 5.000/- for allowing FLAME OF PASSION to shift in near the 150 Metres causing DEL SANTO (S John) to be checked.

Routine Sample was taken for analysis from the winner b g DEL SANTO.
