Permission was granted to Trainer Mr. Ranjeet Shinde to withdraw MAJOR ROLE (Afsar Khan) on veterinary grounds as it was found to be trotting lame on right fore due to shoulder sprain. He was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club’s Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.

SOUND BET (Himanshu) ran detached from the field. Trainer Mr. T Natraj was informed to ensure better performance of his charge in future.

BEJEWELLED BEAUTY (R. Vaideeshwaran) was impounded for veterinary examination. On examination the Club’s Veterinary Officer reported that   it was found to have fresh injuries inside the mouth and sharp molars on the right side. Hence Trainer Mr. Rakesh was fined Rs.3,000/- for his negligence.

Jockey D. Gnanehwar, the rider of RISING QUEEN, was fined Rs.1,000/- for the excessive use of the whip on his mount during the Race (first infringement).

The Stipendiary Stewards reported Jockey R Vaideeshwaran, the rider of BEJEWELLED BEAUTY, to the Stewards for dangerous riding [Rule No.161(i)], in that he shifted ‘in’ badly and caused very severe interference to RISING QUEEN (D. Gnaneshwar) on his  inside, which, in turn, passed it onto ALTIRA (P S Chouhan), along the rails, before passing the red marker post, and again, shifted ‘out’ violently, bumping HUCKLEBERRY FINN (P. Trevor) on the outside, which, in turn, took out the horses on its outside, viz., PRINCE OF ARGYLE (R Vaibhav) and FORMIDABLE (S Shiva Kumar), passing the 1300 Metres. The Stewards held an enquiry after the last Race and examined Jockey R Vaideeshwaran. After deliberations, they decided to suspend the Jockey’s License granted to Jockey R Vaideeshwaran from 10-09-2012 to 5-10-2012 (both days inclusive) for dangerous riding [Rule 161(i)] on his mount, BEJEWELLED BEAUTY, in the above Race [permitted to ride work].

PRINCE OF ARGYLE (R Vaibhav) sustained cut injury on right hind coronet.

Surprise Sample was taken for analysis from the winner, b.h. FORMIDABLE.
