Before being loaded, MASTER BADAL was found to be lame by its left-fore leg and CUNCHO was found to have an injury on the right hind leg. As such, both the horses were withdrawn on veterinary grounds before coming under the Starter’s Orders. Trainers S Ali Khan and Shakti Singh have been asked to obtain a certificate of fitness for their respective charges before next accepting to race the horses for a future race or trial. As a consequence of the withdrawal of these two horses, no deduction either on Win or Place bets was affected.
