It was observed that D HUNTER (H Rahul) accidentally brushed the railings approaching 900 metres.

Trainer Mr. Rakesh and Jockey C Umesh were questioned by the Stipendiary Stewards regarding the poor performance of b g VACHAN, which finished third in the above Race as compared to its previous run in Race No. 14, i.e., The Star of Mysore Trophy – (About) 1400 Metres, for horses reted 60 and above, run on 2nd Day, Wednesday, 3rd November, 2021, when ridden by the same Jockey, it won the Race. The Trainer stated as follows; a) His charge had won its previous race, which was run over 7 furlongs, very impressively; b) The ideal distance for his charge is over 7 furlongs and as his charge does not show any initial speed and as this race was run over 6 furlongs, he had instructed his rider to sit in 3rd or 4th or the best forward position, and to ride it out in the Straight; c) His charge had run in all posssibe distances and had won over 6 furlongs before; d) This horse was supposed to run in Chennai but as the races at Chennai got cancelled and as there were no 7 furlong races for horses rated 75 and above, he had chosen to race it in the above Race; e) He had expected his charge to run well as he fancied its chances, but his horse did not get up in the Straight and was running there and there only, to finish third; While corroborating with the statement of Trainer, Mr. Rakesh, Jockey C Umesh added that he had ridden his mount as instructed and had grabbed the best possible forward position, but in the straight, despite his best efforts, his mount did not quicken at all. While noting their explanations, Trainer Mr. Rakesh was informed to be more judicious while chosing the race, with particular reference to the distance, to be run by his charge, in future.
