The horse was impounded for veterinary examination, but, no abnormality was reported. Trainer Mr. Vishal Yadav was informed to take appropriate corrective measures before accepting with it again.

At the behest of the Stipendiary Stewards, the Stewards held an enquiry into the running of the Race with particular reference to the start of the Race, wherein ACE PRINCESS (S Mubarak) came out of the Gates rider-less and ran as such. The Stewards examined Mr. K S Shanmuka Swamy, the Official Starter and S Mubarak, the rider of ACE PRINCESS. After repeatedly viewing the CCTV replay of the Race and acting on their own observation of the start of the Race, and after due deliberations, the Stewards, by virtue of the powers conferred under the Rules of Racing of the Club, decided to declare ACE PRINCESS (S Mubarak) a non starter in the above Race.
