TAQDEER KA BADSHAH (Shrikant Kamble) was extremely fractious and was stuck under the starting gates for a considerable period of time. Under the circumstances it was permitted to be withdrawn before coming under Starter’s orders.

Trainer Mr. S. Padmanabhan was questioned regarding the relatively poor performance of SUN MOON AND STARS. Trainer stated that the filly had a growth in her neck for which she was operated and after one year she ran and won in her previous start and considering that run he had fancied her in this race. However, she did not perform well and felt possibly the growth in her neck may have developed. He said in the month of April he will get her operated again or to get laser treatment to control the growth in the neck and will run thereafter. His explanation was noted. The horse was impounded for veterinary examination. On examination, the Club’s Veterinary Officer reported that it was found to have burst its blood vessels (Endoscopy Grade IV – at 4.55 p.m.). Trainer Mr. S. Padmanabhan was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club’s Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.
