CRESCENDO (Sameer Qureshi) took a fly jump and went onto its haunches, whereby, the rider got momentarily unbalanced, at the start. 

Jockey Arshad Alam, the rider of TREMENDOUS, was reprimanded for shifting 'out', thereby, inconveniencing ETERNAL INSPIRATION (R Manish) on his outside, approaching the 400 Metres. 

Jockey R Shelar, the rider of SHERLOCK, was fined Rs.3,000/- for the excessive use of the whip on his mount during the Race [first infringement].

Trainer Ranjeet Shinde was questioned as to the relative performance of SHIP ROCK (A S Peter), the winner of the above Race as compared to its previous run in Race No. 19 of the Mysore Summer Races 2019, i.e. The Chevalier Trophy (About) 1600 Metres, for horses rated 60 and above, run on Third day, Wednesday, 5th June, 2019, when ridden by the same rider, it ran unplaced. The Trainer stated as follows; a) This is a well bred horse and this is only its third run in this centre; b) This is a free running horse and it loves to go to the front and he was also instructed by his Owner to let it run freely in the front; c) In its previous run, he had told his rider not to break its stride and to let it run freely in the front, but it was chased by SHERLOCK, and after the latter overtook his charge, his rider had made a mistake of chasing it till the 900 Metres, due to which both the horses had fizzled out in the Straight; d) In this Race he had instructed his rider to go to the front and his charge settled well in the front ran on from there and just about won the Race; e) He was surprised as the timing of his charge was slower by more than one second despite winning the race and in his opinion the slow pace suited it and it ran better, in the above Race; f) His charge had shown some improvement during the Morning Track Work after its previous run and in his opinion, COUNTRY MUSIC, which ran with his charge had run again before this race, CRESENDO had run a very bad race, TOWERING STORM had gone up in handicap and so his charge which had beaten SHERLOCK in its previous run again beat it in this present set. His explanations were noted for future reference.  

Surprise Sample was taken for analysis from the winner, b r SHIP ROCK.
