Permission was granted to Trainer Mr. Azhar Ali to withdraw KALLU SAKARE (Nazerul Alam) as it refused to be loaded into the float to travel to Mysore.

STARS ABOVE (S Antony Raj) drifted out alarmingly between the 400 Metres till passing the winning post. In view of its behaviour, Trainer Mr. Arjun Mangalorkar was informed that he must not accept with it again until its behaviour improved to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in One Mock Race on a Race Day on the race track.

An objection was lodged by Jockey P Kiran Rai, the rider of PERFECT JUSTICE, placed Second by the Judge against Jockey Antony Raj S, the rider of STARS ABOVE placed First by the Judge for, “In the final 300 Metres the winner started drifting out and taking me out as well and in the last 50 Metres he cut across me sharply whereby I had to stop my mount momentarily which cost me the race”.

The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the Race and examined the Jockeys concerned. After due deliberations and after repeatedly watching the CCTV replay of the Race, the Stewards decided to uphold the objection and revised the order of placing as under:
 
                        b f PERFECT JUSTICE            I
                        b f STARS ABOVE                II
                            b f MEGHANN                III
                            b g COUNTRY’S MAJOR            IV
                        b f JACARANDA                V
