Why special treatment to be given to Roberto/connections when in all the others the decision of the club/vet including the trainer's other horses are taken as right ? You think 2 docs/vet will agree moreso when the other is a senior. Further more the other Vet is private and already treated Roberto and definitely his opinion will differ.  Then why should the club have a Vet when everybody can bring their own Vet and certificates. 

She returned sore by her left hind leg after her last race and the connections feel that it is more prudent to get her fully wound up for the Invitation Cup.

Good decision  coz Robetra will not stay in this field 

Mr. Shroff told the whole world how shoked he was that Roberta ran the Oaks and how on the morninghe was planning to withdraw her. After the race she came back sore according to race day report so so HAS to be shown to the club vet. His dissicion is final and if he feels that the horse is not alright then he has the right to withdraw her. There cant be a situation of an accident if she brakes down. Her kissing spine problem has shown she is affected when she lost to stablemate Smasher by 9 1/2 lenght.

RIGHT decision by the doctor for the safety of other runners.

RWITC authorities refuse to allow Roberta to participate in the Indian Derby. The filly was placed under a veterinary ban after her oaks victory. RWITC vet says Roberta is medically unfit to run.

Accordingly, Shroff had Roberta examined by the club’s vet on Wednesday morning. The vet certified Roberta as medically unfit and she was excluded from the list of 15 Derby runners.

Shortly after receiving the news about Roberta’s forced withdrawal from the fray, co-owner Vijay Shirke shot off a letter to the club requesting the stewards of the club to reconsider the decision. Shirke wrote, “As owners, it is our sincere request that another independent vet should examine her (Roberta) and take a final decision.

According to Mr Shroff, she is much better at present than what she was before the Indian Oaks and, therefore, according to him she’s fit and capable of running the Indian Derby.”

Adding further, Shirke opined, “This issue is too subjective to be handled by a lone club official. The existing rules must be changed and there should be a wider participation of professionals when deciding such delicate matters.”

Giving her views on this incident, Roberta’s breeder Ameeta Mehra said, “In Roberta’s case, there is a doubt and controversy about the nature of her problem and if it indeed would hamper her racing ability. I would suggest that RWITC call Dr Hasneyn Mirza to examine her as he has been treating her since last 6 months and seek his opinion. The Indian Derby comes once in a life-time in a horse’s career. In my humble opinion, every effort should be made by the stewards of the club to ensure that the decision taken by the club’s vet is indeed the right one. And since the vet in question is junior to Dr Mirza, it would be in the fitness of things to get another opinion from the latter especially as the former’s opinion is being challenged by Roberta’s owners and trainer.”

On  veterinary grounds, anyways she will be ready on the Day of the Invitation.

vets refused to pass Roberta, connections to appeal tomm morning against vet ban to run derby.

Its not strange. Roberta even if it participates, placing in Derby is highly unlikely.
