Before being stalled, SURAAGNA was extremely fractious, as such, was withdrawn before coming under starter’s orders. Trainer Magan Singh has been asked to give sufficient gate practice and show the mare in Mock race to the Starter’s satisfaction before next accepting to race. As a consequence of SURAAGNA being withdrawn, a deduction of 30% on Win and 50% on Place bets was affected.

At the start, MASTER BECKET (SG Prasad) jumped out awkwardly outwards.

Between 900 metres and 800 metres, MISS COLOMBIANA (K Narender Kr.) continued to shift out and in the process tightened RANNVIJAY (GS Shekhawat) on to FOREVER YOURS (S Mosin). Jockey K Narender Kr. has been reprimanded.

Trainer A Khan and Jockey S Mosin were questioned regarding the poor performance of FOREVER YOURS. The Trainer explained that he had recently receive his mare and this was the first run with him and added that the mare was not in good condition as she weighed 428 kg and she was still 9 kg below her weight in the earlier races. The Jockey informed that he had not worked the mare and he had ridden her for the first time. After having viewed the earlier races and having scrutinised the betting trends, the Trainer has been cautioned and has been asked to ensure to give sufficient time in between races and his horses should be able to hold the form.

Trainer Richpal Singh and Jockey G S Shekhawat were questioned regarding the running and riding of RANNVIJAY. The instructions were to be in 5th /6th position and do his best. The Trainer explained that in the previous race i.e. Race no. 91, the gelding was able to hit the front as it was an inferior field, though it was in open company. The gelding was able to go to the front without much effort from the Jockey. He added that the gelding met with couple of interferences in this race and was running with winner’s penalty. After viewing the races and having heard their submissions, the Trainer has been cautioned for failing to maintain the same running pattern of his charge and the Jockey has been asked to exhibit more vigour in his future rides.

The veterinary examination of FOREVER YOURS & RANNVIJAY did not reveal any apparent abnormality.
