Trainer Dr.Anil Kumar and Jockey S.S.Baria were questioned regarding the running and riding of MUSTANG SALLY in this race. Trainer Anil Kumar stated that he had instructed the jockey to ride his own race and to do his best in the straight as the mare does not have initial speed. He also stated that the mare should be pulled out in the straight, as she gallops well from the outside. It was put to the Jockey as why had he made his move from the outside of FIREY FUTURE and not taken the wide gap on the inside of FIREY FUTURE to save ground and that he had taken the horse too far wide so much so that the mare raced on the Main Track. The jockey stated that he could not take the gap available at the 400 metres as FIREY FUTURE (P.Belose) took his ground and he had to move out and that he had done his best in the straight. Not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by Jockey S.S.Baria, he has been reported to the Stewards for riding an Injudicious race. The matter was deferred.
