Prior to ‘ALL CLEAR’ being declared Jockeys T.S.Jodha the  rider of SHIVALIKA and Imran Chisty the rider of GO MY GIRL requested to view the race video to consider lodging an objection. After viewing the video Jockey T S Jodha and Imran Chisty decided to proceed with an objection and accordingly an objection was lodged by Jockey T S Jodha the rider of SHIVALIKA placed second by the Judge against Jockey P Trevor the rider of ICE CUBE BABY placed first  by the Judge “ for hitting with the whip  intentionally at 100 mts  first time on my hand and second time on my whip which caused me losing the whip whereby I lost the certain race”.

Second objection was lodged by Jockey Imran Chisty the rider of GO MY GIRL placed third by the Judge against  Jockeys P Trevor the rider of ICE CUBE BABY placed first by the judge and Jockey T S Jodha the rider of SHIVALIKA placed second by the judge “ when my horse was moving very well in between 200 mts and 150 mts, SHIVALIKA come onto me putting pressure at the same time ICE CUBE BABY  came out and taking my ground due to which I had to stop riding as my mount broken its stride and that cost 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 both the objections. The Security deposits were refunded.

An enquiry has been opened into the loss of whip by Jockey T S Jodha  the rider of SHIVALIKA in the final stages of the race.

Urine sample was taken from the following horses in the presence of Trainer M Narredu and K P Singh and was sent for analytical test.
