As Jockey Franco F Da Silva, the declared rider of MEGHALAYA, was certified medically unfit to ride after his fall in the Fifth Race, permission was granted to Trainer Mr. J S Dhariwal to substitute Jockey R Vaibhav to ride MEGHALAYA in place of the declared rider.

ALTIRA (S John) planted and did not raise a gallop after jumping out and did not take part in the race. In view of its behaviour, Trainer Mr. P C Tejaswi was informed that he must not accept with it again until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in two Mock Races on Race Days on the race track.

PURPLE GLOW (B Sreekanth), after jumping out, swerved towards left and dislodged the rider. In view of its behaviour, Trainer Mr. S Ganapathy was informed that he must not 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 P S Chouhan, the rider of MR CARPE, placed Second by the Judge, objected against Jockey Suraj Narredu, the rider of ENTERTAINER, placed First, for “at 350 Metres, Suraj Narredu, on ENTERTAINER, came out and touched the quarters of my horse and my mount changed its legs and started drifting out. Again 100 Metres from home, he came out and took my ground, which cost me a certain Race”. The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the Race and examined Jockeys P S Chouhan and Suraj Narredu. After deliberations, they decided to overrule the objection.

ENTERTAINER (Suraj Narredu) was impounded for veterinary examination. On examination by the Club’s Veterinary Officer, it was reported to have sharp molars. Hence Trainer Mr. Faraz Arshad was fined Rs.3,000/- for his negligence (First Infringement).
