An objection lodged by Jockey J Chinoy the rider of MINI COOPER  placed second by the Judge against Jockey Sameer Khan the rider of LUCKY  placed first by the Judge for “ bumping me continously from 700 mts and also taking my ground at  around 150 mts from the winning post whereas  I had to  stop riding and take my filly back and to give some response that cost me a certain race”. The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the race interviewed the Jockeys concerned and after deliberations, considering the opinion expressed by the Stipendiary Steward and based on the observation of the race the Stewards were  satisfied that an alteration to the placings could not be justified. Therefore, they decided to overrule the objection. The Security deposit was refunded.
