VENEZUELA (R Shiva Kumar) planted and lost many lengths at the start. In view of its behavior, Trainer Mr. P C Tejaswi 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.

It was observed that MANY MOONS (K Sai Kiran) gradually dropped back after passing 1000 metres and ran detached thereafter. Jockey K Sai Kiran  was questioned in the presence of Trainer Mr. Dinesh Pujar as to why his mount had dropped back so drastically. He replied that his mount was not galloping fluently and that every time he tried to exert some pressure on his mount he felt that it was trying to go down and hence he had to pull it up to keep it from not stumbling and dislodging him. Thereafter he said that his mount dropped pace and literally came to a trot. When questioned, Trainer Mr. Dinesh Pujar replied that his charge was a problematic horse and that it had suffered from a chipped knee on the right fore for which a surgery was done. He had changed its work pattern and kept it on very light work, due to which the weight of the horse had increased. While noting their explanations, Trainer Mr. Dinesh Pujar was advised to have the mare examined by the Club’s Veterinary Officer, to ensure that he does not run it immediately and give it more time to recover. He was also advised to produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club’s Veterinary Officer before accepting with it again. 

Routine Sample was taken for analysis from the winner b m CATALINA.
