TENCENDUR (A M Alam) was observed to drop back passing the 100 metres. 

DANCING BELINDA (B. Nikhil) was observed to trail the field and was asked to be examined by the Club's Veterinary Officer who reported that the gelding was found to be suffering from ILH-grade 4(Roaring). Trainer was advised to take remedial measures.

Jockey P Sai Kumar, the rider of SHORT SKIRT FLIRT and Trainer R.Karthik were questioned with respect to the lead he had taken in the early stages of the race and had kept at his mount throughout whereby his mount tired in the straight passing 200 meters. Jockey stated that his instructions were to hit the front and maintain a lead as his mount is a one pace filly and does not have a final spurt. Trainer R.Karthik when questioned confirmed the instructions however stated that as the filly had jumped out slowly and lost 3 to 4 lengths, the jockey should have hit the front and then given her a breather before riding her out again in the straight. Jockey P.Sai Kumar was severely cautioned for riding an ill judged race and cautioned for the future.
