On a request from Trainer Zulfiqar Khan, SNOHVIT was examined at 10-35 a.m. on 17TH September 2019 and was found to have sustained an injury on its left-fore fetlock. As such, the colt was certified unfit to race and was withdrawn on veterinary grounds. The Trainer has been asked to obtain a veterinary certificate of fitness prior to presenting his charge for any future trial or race.

Trainer HA Khan has been fined Rs.3,000/- for putting in late Declaration in respect of his charge MISS GLORIOUS.
 
At the start, CONQUERING BID (Dhanu S Deora) was slowly away losing about two lengths.

At the start, NICHE DIAMOND (K Narender Kumar) fly jumped and began awkwardly and was then converged upon as GOLDEN GUINEA (Pradeep Kumar) jumped awkwardly outwards and AAO SHAO (Himalay S Pawar) jumped awkwardly inwards and in the process AAO SHAO was jostled due to which Jockey Himalay S Pawar lost his right stirrup which he could not regain and passing 900 metres, Jockey Himalay S Pawar (AAO SHAO) was dislodged. Jockey K Narender Kumar (NICHE DIAMOND) was steadied to avoid colliding with the fallen Jockey and therefore lost ground.

An Objection was lodged by Jockey Dhanu Singh Deora CONQUERING BID as well as the Trainer stating that “at the jump out, my mount was blindfolded and held in the Gates, which could not be removed even after the start was given which deprived my mount to take a level jump, due to which my mount never got a chance to run freely”.

Also, at the behest of Stipendiary Steward a Stewards’ enquiry was initiated into the incident at the start, wherein it was observed that the blindfold of CONQUERING BID (Dhanu S Deora) could not be removed in time by the Handler when the start was effected and the gelding was slowly away.

The Stewards held an enquiry after the race and interviewed the Trainer and the Jockey as well as the Starter. After deliberations, considering the opinion expressed by the Stipendiary Stewards and based on their own observation of the incident, the Stewards decided to overrule the objection. The Security deposit was refunded. The Stewards decided to maintain the placing of horses as declared by the Judge as a result of the Stewards’ Enquiry.

Jockey SG Prasad (MISS GLORIOUS) has been fined Rs.3,000/- for using his whip in excess of the prescribed limit on his mount.

The veterinary examination of AAO SHAO did not reveal any apparent abnormality.
