control his mount and went on to TRIBAL WARRIOR (Khalander) forcing it to shift
out. Trainer Amjad Khan has been asked to take remedial measures before next

travel wide. Trainer Vinay Lagad has been asked to take remedial measures
before next accepting to race the gelding.

1600 Metres. Runners - 9
Trainer Nina M. Lalvani declared Jockey Samuel
Fargeat to ride her charge NARA without having confirmed from the Jockey
regarding his availability, which resulted in the Jockey being declared in more
races than he was eligible to ride. As such Trainer Nina M. Lalvani has been
fined Rs.5000/-.
Near 500 meters, LOVE FORTY (Aadesh Kumar) was
inconvenienced while racing on the inside of NARA (Neeraj Rawal) and was
steadied.
Soon after entering the straight, Jockey Shoban
Babu (MOUNTAIN KING) used his whip with the right hand while his mount was
shifting out and again in the final furlong. As such, Jockey Shoban babu has
been cautioned for improper use of the whip.
Near 300 meters, LILAC TIME (Riyaz Shaikh) lost her
balance possibly due to the close proximity of MOUNTAIN KING who had shifted
out, due to which LILAC TIME shied away and in the process the filly lost her
balance. After this incident, the saddle on LILAC TIME was observed to have
slipped back. Jockey Riyaz Shaikh was observed to have used his whip after the
filly had regained her balance, despite being aware that the saddle had slipped
back. No action was initiated against Trainer Ivor Fernandes since the saddle
may have slipped back due to the incident near 300 meters, however, Jockey
Riyaz Shaikh has been cautioned for the handling of his mount post-incident in
the straight.

was observed to have lost his right stirrup which he could not regain
throughout the race. On examination, the equipment was found to be in
serviceable condition and the Jockey explained that the leather stirrup had got
unbuckled and dangled on the side of his mount; therefore, he could not regain
the same. Nevertheless, Jockey C.Rajendra has been advised to be more careful
with his equipment in future.
An objection was lodged by Jockey K.P.G.Appu, rider
of DANCING DYNAMITE (placed 2nd) against Jockey P.Kamlesh, rider of
ANTONIOS (placed 1st). The reason being that in the last 250 metres
ANTONIOS (P Kamlesh) started shifting out when he was making his run on the
outside and bumped his horse whereby he had to stop riding, which cost him a
certain race.

interviewed the Jockeys concerned and reviewed the video recording of the race.

RE
: ENQYIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “SCHNELL” IN RACE NO.86 – THE
SNOWSTORM PLATE RUN ON SUNDAY, 24TH AUGUST, 2008 :
The Stewards of the Club
at their meeting held on Saturday, 30th August, 2008 considered the
evidence obtained by the Stipendiary Stewards in the above enquiry. They
interviewed Trainer H.J.Antia and Jockey L.Prashant and having considered all
the submissions made and having repeatedly viewed the video recording of the
loading/start of Race No.86 with the hand held camera as also the front view of
the start, in normal as well as in slow motion, the Stewards were not satisfied
with the explanation tendered by Jockey L.Prashant. The
Stewards noted the written complaint lodged by Mrs.B.E.Saldanha, the part-owner
of SCHNELL with regard to Jockey
L.Prashant’s riding on SCHNELL in Race No.86. Also, Trainer H.J.Antia expressed
his dissatisfaction with Jockey L.Prashant’s riding on SCHNELL. Therefore,
the Stewards
decided to issue a Show Cause notice to Jockey L.Prashant as to why action
should not be initiated against him for not permitting his mount SCHNELL to run
on its merits in the above race. Further, the Stewards directed to conduct
further enquiries into the matter.

ENQUIRY INTO THE COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF “FLASHING FLAME” WHO
WON IN RACE NO.83 – THE AL DENTE PLATE RUN ON 24TH AUGUST, 2008 AS
COMPARED TO HIS PREVIOUS RUN IN RACE NO.65 – THE ESTERELLI PLATE RUN ON 17TH
AUGUST, 2008 WHERE THE GELDING WAS UNPLACED :
Trainer Narendra Lagad
was questioned in the above connection. He explained that :-
1) There was a change of Track, in Race No.65 the horse ran on
the Monsoon Track whereas this time the horse ran on the Main Track;
2) There was a change of distance i.e. Race No.65 was run over
1600 metres whereas the gelding won in Race No.83 over 2000 metres;
3) In Race No.65, the horse was slow out of the gates, losing
about 3 lengths at the start and was subsequently given enough gate practice
and this time he took a level jump;
4) As regards the three common horses which ran with FLASHING
FLAME in Race No.32 i.e. STAR OF THE SEASON who was a fancied runner, returned lame after the race and RAGE OF
ANGELS was slow at start. As regards
the third common horse STAR CRUSADER who had finished fourth in Race No.32 over
1800 metres, his horse had covered good ground
towards the end to finish a close fifth and this time he had extra 200
metres to travel which was to his advantage and he beat STAR CRUSADER by two
lengths. The remaining two runners viz. ELUSIVE TRUST and JULPHA had no
previous form.
After viewing the video
recording of Race Nos32, 65 and 83 and scrutinizing the betting sheets, the
explanation tendered by Trainer Narendra Lagad was noted.
