At the start, HURACAN (D Kumar) jumped outwards at an angle as the Jockey did not have his right hand on the reins due to which the gelding veered out and bumped COME ON SEXY (Sameer Khan) who in turn went out and bumped PROMISE OF LOVE (GS Shekhawat) whose Rider was almost dislodged. Jockey D Kumar has been reported to the Stewards. Consideration of the matter was deferred to the next meeting of the Stewards.

An Objection was lodged by Jockey Sameer Khan (COME ON SEXY), placed second by the Judge against Jockey Dhanu S Deora (DELUXE), placed first by the Judge for “crossing me near 1000 metres, whereby I had to check my mount and again near 250 metres, whereby I lost a certain race”. The Stewards held an enquiry after the race and interviewed the Jockeys concerned and after deliberations, considering the opinion expressed by the Stipendiary Stewards and based on their own observation of the race, the Stewards decided to overrule the Objection.

Passing 1000 metres, DELUXE (Dhanu S Deora) shifted in and caused interference to COME ON SEXY (Sameer Khan). Jockey Dhanu S Deora has been fined Rs.3,000/- and severely cautioned for the future.

Jockeys GS Shekhawat (PROMISE OF LOVE), Bhanu Pratap Singh (REHANA) and D Kumar (HURACAN) have been cautioned for travelling wide while negotiating the bend and in the straight.
