Trainer Mr. P. Shroff was questioned regarding the running of ZACHARY.  Trainer stated that the horse was not looking good from the day it arrived in Bangalore in comparison with what it was in Mumbai. He felt that the horse was not relishing the stay in Bangalore and therefore he preferred to run it sparingly and also that he gave it its regular work and he found it to be working normally.  He finally stated that he would be taking away the horse and not run it any more in Bangalore.  Jockey corroborated the statement of the trainer. The explanations were noted and the horse was impounded for veterinary examination. It was reported after the last race at 6.15 p.m. on endoscopy it was found to have burst its blood vessels (grade III). Trainer Mr. P. Shroff was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club’s Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.
