PRINCESS AURA (Surya P.) planted, swerved towards the left, did not raise a fluent gallop for the first 150 Metres and ran detached thereafter. In view of its behaviour, Trainer Mr.Kishan Thomas was informed not accept with it again until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in at least one Mock Race.

It was reported after the race that REMONTOIR (Salman Khan) burst its blood vessels. Trainer Mr.Imtiaz Khan was informed to produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club's Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.

An enquiry was held on 4th December, 2022 by the Stipendiary Steward for the above race into the interference caused by Jockey Ahsan Qureshi, the rider of NIKOLINA in that he shifted 'in' and caused severe interference to the horses on his inside viz; LISTEN TO ME (Neeraj Rawal), RORITO (Tousif Khan) and SOLID POWER (V.R.Jagadeesh) approaching 1200 Metres.

Jockey Ahsan Qureshi was interviewed by the Stipendiary Steward. The Stipendiary Steward after considering the submissions made by Jockey Ahsan Qureshi and after viewing the CCTV replay decided to charge Jockey Ahsan Qureshi for Careless Riding.

The Stipendiary Steward thereafter suspended the Jockey’s Licence granted to Ahsan Qureshi with effect from 14-12-2022 to 23-12-2022 (both days inclusive) as he had pleaded guilty of the charge under Rule No. 161 (i) of the BTC Rules of Racing for Careless Riding on his mount NIKOLINA (he was permitted to ride work) and was informed of his right to appeal.

SOLID POWER (V.R.Jagadeesh) sustained superficial injury on both hind cannon.
