SCRIPTWRITER (Arshad Alam) sustained bleeding cut injury on left hind outer hock. Under the circumstances, it was permitted to be withdrawn on veterinary grounds before coming under Starter's Order; Trainer Mr. C D Monnappa was informed that he must produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club's Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again.

Jockey R N Darshan rider of STAR BARON, reported that he accidentally lost his whip approaching 350 metres.

At the behest of the Stipendiary Stewards, a Stewards enquiry was held into the interference caused by MY OPINION (A Imran Khan), placed First by the Judge to SHESMYSCRIPT (P Trevor) and the latter horse's subsequent fall just before the Winning Post. The Stewards examined Jockeys Y S Srinath, the rider of KAMBAKU, placed second by the Judge and S Zervan, the rider of PSYCHIC FORCE, placed third by the Judge. The Stewards repeatedly watched the CCTV replay of the above Race. After due enquiry, considering the opinion expressed by the Stipendiary Stewards and based on their own observation, the Stewards decided to disqualify MY OPINION (A Imran Khan), the winner, from the above Race and decided to alter the order of placings, as under;
 
        KAMBAKU (Y S Srinath)         I
        PSYCHIC FORCE (S Zervan)         II
        STAR BARON (R N Darshan)        III  
        MR HANDSOME (Suraj Narredu)     IV
        STEINLIGHT (Nirmal Jodha)         V
   
It was reported after the Race that SHESMYSCRIPT (P Trevor) had apparently lost its right fore shoe during the Race.

An enquiry is being held into the manner of riding of Jockey A Imran Khan, the rider of MY OPINION, with particular reference to the interference caused by him to SHESMYSCRIPT (P Trevor) and its subsequent fall, in the above Race.
