It was reported after the Race that DOC MARTIN (B Darshan Anthony) burst its blood vessels. Trainer Mr. Ramesh S was informed that he should produce a Fitness Certificate from the Club’s Veterinary Officer, before accepting with it again.

Jockey, Inayat, the rider of MEADOW FLOWER was fined Rs.2,000/- for shifting `in’ and causing interference to AQUILA D’ORO (Koshi Kumar), at the Start.

At the behest of the Stipendiary Stewards, a Stewards’ enquiry was initiated, with particular reference to the Apprentice Jockey Koshi Kumar using his reins to whip his mount AQUILA D’ ORO, from the last 200 Metres till the Winning Post, in the above Race. 

In connection with the above incident, Mr. Vinesh V Naik, the Trainer of NATURAL ONE (Vivek G), placed second by the Judge, also lodged an objection against Mr. Koshi Kumar, the rider of AQUILA D’ORO, placed First by the Judge, for "In the straight the winner AQUILA D’ORO whipped through the reigns which is not permitted. This cost me a certain Race". The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the Race and examined Trainer Mr. Vinesh V Naik and Jockey concerned, Koshi Kumar. After due deliberations and after repeatedly viewing the CCTV replay of the above Race, the Stewards, after applying their own minds on the above incident, decided that there shall be no change in the order of the Judges’ Placings. The Stewards also decided to overrule the objection. However, the Stewards directed the Stipendiary Stewards to conduct an enquiry pertaining to Apprentice Jockey Koshi Kumar using his reins to whip his mount AQUILA D’ ORO and submit a report to them.
