Trainer Mr. M Eshwer was fined Rs.5,000/- for the discrepancy in shoeing in respect of his charge SAINT LUCIA (Hasib Alam), in the above race (1st Infringement).

It was observed that SAINT LUCIA (Hasib Alam) was hanging `in’ in the final 300 Metres of the race despite the best efforts of the rider to keep it on an even course. The horse was impounded for veterinary examination, but due to its extremely fractious behaviour, it could not be examined. However, Trainer Mr. Eshwer M was informed to take appropriate corrective measures before accepting with it again.

Jockey Mukesh Kumar, the rider of RUBY CUBE was reprimanded for riding an indifferent race.

Trainer Mr. Rakesh was questioned regarding the performance of his charge SHIVALIK SOUND (S John), the winner of the above Race as compared to its previous run in Race No.10, i.e., The Prince Regent Plate (About) 1400 Metres for horses rated 20 to 45 run on Wednesday 25th May, 2022, when ridden by Jockey Srikanth Kamble it ran unplaced. The Trainer stated that a) His charge was running in a lower class as compared to its previous run; b) And when Jockey Srikanth Kamble rode his charge in the previous race he had advised him that the horse needs extra distance and that 7 furlongs would be short and so he chose to run it over a mile; c) This horse being a small made horse, was on light work, had shown improvement and this time he chose to declare a better caliber Jockey to ride his charge, which made a difference; and d) This is the horse’s first win at this distance and class. His explanations were noted for future reference.

Routine Sample was taken for analysis from the winner, ch g SHIVALIK SOUND.
