In view of its behaviour Trainer Rajinder was informed not to accept with his charge until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Steward in one mock race on a race day on the race track.

Trainer S Nawab and App Jockey S Lalit were called in and questioned regarding the running and riding of  MASTER NOVAK. Trainer S Nawab stated that he had instructed the jockey to position 4th/5th and do his best on entering the straight. He observed that his charge jumped awkwardly outwards from the starting gates thereby loosing some grounds and thereafter  the jockey has ridden according to his instructions. Further the trainer stated that his charge behaved in a similar manner in Race No.191  THE SAINTLY PLATE. A HANDICAP FOR INDIAN HORSES   RATED 60-86 (ABOUT) 1600 METRES on 16th February 2016. Jockey S Lalit corroborating the trainers statements stated that his mount is habitually behaved in a similar manner and thereafter it improved its position. Their explanation was noted. However Jockey S Lalit was given the benefit of doubt at this instance.

Jockey Arman Ali Jafri the rider of WIKI WIKI reported that the saddle used on his mount slipped forward approaching 400 mts. The saddle was examined immediately after the race and found to have slipped forward. Trainer H A Khan was fined Rs.2000/-for the faulty saddling.

App Jockey R Rakesh the rider of WHIFF OF GOLD on questioning about his ride stated  that the saddle used on his mount shifted forward approaching the 300 mts and after the race he neither reported the matter to the trainer or showed the equipment to any of the officials, hence he was fined Rs.2000/- for his negligence.
