Trainer Mr. V. Narayana Gowda was questioned as regards the significant increase in the body weight as compared to its previous weight 478 Kgs. and   present weight 500 Kgs. of his charge HANDSOME SOLDIER. Trainer stated that his charge had capped elbows as such he gave minimal work and also kept it in swimming.  He also added that his charge is a good eater and tends to put on weight easily and was running it after a month gap.  While noting his explanations, the trainer was severely cautioned as to the future running of his charges. The horse was subsequently weighed the next morning by the Club’s Veterinary Officer at 10.30 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. and the horse weighed 487 Kgs. on both the occasions. The horse was also scoped (endoscopy) at 1.45 p.m. but no abnormality was reported.
