Jockey Shivnath Paswan, the rider of GAYLE'S STORM, reported that his mount was hanging 'out' from the 700 Metres. The horse was impounded for veterinary examination but no abnormality was reported. However, Trainer Mr. Rakesh was informed to take appropriate corrective measures before accepting with it again.    

AVARI (Vinod Shinde) did not get a clear run, approaching the 200 Metres, due to a closely packed field.

Trainer Mr. S Dominic and Jockey P S Chouhan were questioned regarding the running and riding of LOVE IS LIFE. The Trainer stated that (a) he placed it in the above race, considering the weak company and the horse had also worked well during the track work; (b) when the horse last ran in the Bangalore Summer Meeting 2013, it ran in a higher category and placed Sixth; (c) considering all the factors and also, the present company, he very strongly fancied this horse to win the race, (d) but, in his opinion, the horse had not relished the soft underfoot conditions and other than that, he could find no other reasons for the poor performance of his charge. Jockey P S Chouhan stated that he was at it from the word go and made all best efforts, but the horse could finish only Fifth. Their explanations were noted.
