At the behest of the Stipendiary Stewards, a Stewards enquiry was held immediately after the Race, with particular reference to the interference caused by SIR CALCULUS (Y S Srinath) to DUMAS (K Sai Kiran) resulting in the fall of Jockey K Sai Kiran from his mount. The Stewards conducted an enquiry and examined Jockeys, M/s Y S Srinath and K Sai Kiran. After repeatedly watching the CCTV replay of the above Race and after due deliberations, the Stewards decided that the interference caused by Jockey Y S Srinath, the rider of SIR CALCULUS to Jockey K Sai Kiran, the rider of DUMAS resulting in the latter rider’s fall from his mount, was purely accidental and hence decided not to alter the Judges’ placing. The Stewards further ordered the Stipendiary Stewards to initiate appropriate action against Jockey Y S Srinath, the rider of SIR CALCULUS.

The Stipendiary Steward questioned Jockey Y S Srinath, the rider of SIR CALCULUS and Jockey K Sai Kiran, the rider of DUMAS, as to the interference caused by the rider of the former horse, to Jockey K Sai Kiran, the rider of DUMAS and the subsequent fall of the latter from his mount. Jockey Y S Srinath stated that Jockey K Sai Kiran was riding erratically on his mount DUMAS and as such he could not keep a straight course and that he had to pull his mount out and make his run on the outside. But the latter horse again shifted out and that his mount momentarily lugged in, causing the interference to DUMAS (K Sai Kiran). Jockey K Sai Kiran stated that as he had lost his right rein, he could not offer any assistance to his mount and as such, his mount was running erratically. After due enquiry and after repeatedly watching the CCTV replay of the Race, the Stipendiary Stewards were of the opinion that the incident was purely accidental. However, the Stipendiary Stewards fined Jockey Y S Srinath, the rider of SIR CALCULUS was fined a sum of Rs.5,000/- for shifting in under the use of whip, thereby causing interference to DUMAS on his inside which clipped the heels of the former and stumbled and dislodged its rider, approaching the 250 Metres.
