Trainer Magan Singh and Jockey T S Jodha were questioned regarding the running and riding of EXCEPTIONAL wherein it was observed that soon after jumping out of the starting gates wherein he allowed his mount to race  at a tempo which was too fast and unsatisfactory and thereafter negotiating the   bend, straightening into home straight, his mount packed out to finish last.

Trainer Magan Singh stated that:-

1. After its last run in race No.111 on 24^th November 2015 his charge ran a disappointing run.

2. After the race in Race No.111 Jockey J Chinoy suggested to use equipment wherein “Blinkers” was used in the above race.

3. After the use of Blinkers , his charge was very keen during morning track work.

4. EXCEPTIONAL is still a maiden and highly disappointing in its performances.

5. After this race Jockey T S Jodha recommended to use equipment Basket Bit.

Jockey T S Jodha stated that he was instructed to go to the front or position 2^nd and do his best on entering the straight. Soon after jumping out of the starting gates his horse was very keen and pulled hard during the early stages and despite his efforts to restrain, the filly set a pace faster than anticipated.

Their explanations were noted for future reference.
