Permission was granted to Trainer Mr. M Bobby [deputizing for Trainer Mr. Mahmood Khan] to substitute Jockey Shivnath Paswan to ride ZERMATT in place of Jockey D Gnaneshwar, the declared rider.

Jockey M Kumar, the rider of SEVEN OF HEARTS, reported that he accidentally lost his whip, passing the 400 Metres.

Jockey Shobhan Babu, the rider of ALL PROOF, was fined Rs.1,000/- for not sufficiently persevering with his mount, during the Race.

Jockey P S Chouhan, the rider of MOTIVATION, was questioned in connection with the handling of his mount in the presence of Trainer Mr. Nikhil M Punna [deputizing for Trainer Mr. R R Byramji]. The Jockey stated that (a) his mount missed the kick; (b) soon after the start, for about 100 Metres, he had a very rough passage; (c) his riding instructions were to keep his mount in third or fourth position and to do his best in the straight; (d) but, in the first about 200 Metres of the Race, he received a check and could not attain the third or fourth position as instructed; (e) thereafter, he gradually improved his position and after rounding the final bend and entering the straight, when he wanted to make a move, the winner shifted 'out', forcing him to move on the inside and he rode out; and (f) after entering the straight, in his opinion, the horse was choking, but, still, he rode out hands and heels with the use of the whip, but, narrowly lost the Race. The Trainer stated that soon after the Race, he questioned the Jockey, who gave him a similar explanation and that he was inclined to accept the same. The horse was impounded for veterinary examination and the Club's Veterinary Officer, after examination of the horse including endoscopy, reported as follows:
