After viewing the video Jockey  R Parvesh decided to proceed with an objection and accordingly an  objection lodged by Jockey R Parvesh the rider of SCOOP THE POT  placed third by the Judge against Jockey Gurpreet Singh the rider of MISS DUNCAN  placed first by the Judge for “ coming in sharply before the red marker giving me a severe check due to which my horse got clipped and I had to stop riding that cost me a certain place”.

Second objection was lodged by Trainer Magan Singh trainer of WINNERS GOLD ridden by Jockey Dhanu Singh Deora placed second  by the Judge against Jockey Gurpreet Singh the rider of MISS DUNCAN  placed first by the Judge for “coming in sharply passing 900 mts, cutting across  so sharply  to avoid a fall, the jockey had to stop the horse and this cost him a certain race.
