FOREST SPIRIT (D.K. Ashish) jumped awkwardly outwards and inconvenienced AMAR PREM (Saddam Hussain) on his outside. The horse started drifting out badly passing the 400 Metres and completed the course on the outer portion of the grass track. The horse was impounded for veterinary examination but no abnormality was reported. However, Trainer Mr. S Ganapathy was informed to take appropriate corrective measures and also not to accept with it again until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in one Mock Race on a race day on the race track. 

 

Jockey Saddam Hussain, the rider of AMAR PREM, placed Second by the Judge, objected against Jockey D K Ashish, the rider of FOREST SPIRIT, placed First , for “bumping me badly immediately after the start, whereby I got unbalanced and he further took me out, whereby I lost my position, which cost me a certain first place”. The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the Race and examined the Jockeys concerned. After deliberations, they decided to overrule the objection. 

 

An enquiry is being held into the excessive use of whip by Jockey M Noornabi, the rider of CARAWAY on his mount during the Race (Third  infringement). 

 

Routine Sample was taken for analysis from the winner, b f FOREST SPIRIT.
