I am surprised to note that Bharat Queen was accepted to run over 1100mts. When questioned about it's poor performance by Stewards the trainer explained as follows:

"Explanation of App. B.R. Kumar (BHARAT QUEEN) that his instructions were to go to front or sit close with front runners and do his best in the straight, but due to fast initial pace, he was forced to position his mount close 3rd and in the straight his mount did not respond to his urgings inspite of his best efforts. Trainer Arjun Anne while confirming the above, opined that his charge might not have liked shorter distance and in future he would opt to run his charge in the longer distance. Both the App and Trainers explanation were noted for future reference."

After giving the above explanation the trainer entered the horse over 1100 mts today again.
