Soon after the start, OSCUALTE (Gurpreet Singh) shifted out and then shifted in as also did KIRPAN (R Parvesh) and went across GOLDEN TAIL (Md. Asif Khan) who had shifted out due to BRAVE LANCER (Mohd Asif) shifting out at that stage. GOLDEN TAIL was again steadied as KIRPAN shifted inwards. Jockey R Parvesh has been cautioned.

Soon after the start, CONQUERING BID (Amyn Merchant) was eased off the heels of FIRST DANCER (Arman Ali Khan) shifted outwards.  

Jockey Gurpreet Singh (OSCULATE) was questioned regarding his riding effort. He stated that he had been instructed to be in 4th/5th position and to do his best. He further stated that when he used the whip the filly pinched its ears, and therefore, he had not used the whip thereafter. The Jockey could not point out the stage at which he had used the whip when the mare could have pinched her ears. When questioned, Trainer Magan Singh stated that he had instructed the Jockey to take a good jump and be in 3rd/4 or 5th position and make a move from 500 metres and to do his best. He stated that his filly does pinch her ears when used the whip and he added that the filly was moving well in the later part of the race. When specifically asked had the Jockey ridden more vigorous and used the whip, could the mare had beaten the winner, to which he agreed. Not being satisfied with their explanation tendered by them, an enquiry has been initiated into the running and riding of OSCULATE.

Jockey Arman Ali Jafri (FIRST DANCER) has been cautioned for failing to continue making an effort till past the Post.

Urine sample from the winner, MASTER BECEKT, was sent for analytical test.
