RACE NO.1 (119) – THE ICARUS PLATE
(DIV.II): (About) 1000 Metres - RUNNERS – 8
|
|
|
|
SOLSKJAER
(App.D.S.Rathore) hesitated and jumped out awkwardly, losing about 4
lengths at the start. As this gelding had behaved in a similar manner in
his previous run, Tr.Amjad Khan has been asked to take remedial measures
and to show the gelding to the satisfaction of the Starter in a mock race,
before next accepting to race.
|
|
|
|
MYSTERIO
(App.Shrikant Kamble, dr.7) jumped out awkwardly towards the inside and
jostled with BLACK PARTRIDGE (Dashrath Singh, dr.6). App.Shrikant Kamble
has been cautioned to be more careful at the gates.
|
|
|
|
Approaching the 200
metres, MYSTERIO (App.Shrikant Kamble) suddenly ducked in and jostled with
LANDLORD (Anil Baandal). Since the incident was accidental, no action has
been initiated against the App. Shrikant Kamble.
|
|
|
|
Trainer Magansingh
P.Jodha and Jockey Dashrath Singh were questioned regarding the running and
riding of BLACK PARTRIDGE. Trainer Magansingh P. Jodha stated that he had
instructed the jockey to ride his own race. He added that the gelding was
running for the first time during the current Pune Meeting 2008 and the
horse has a habit of ducking in after the start. Tr.Jodha said that after
the race, the Jockey had informed him that due to the kickback he could not
see. The Trainer added that the Jockey had come out of injury recently and
had not gained his confidence back
which may be showing in his riding. Jockey Dasrath Singh confirmed
the instructions.
|
|
|
|
Not being entirely
satisfied with the riding of Dashrath Singh, the matter was reported to the
Stewards. Consideration of the matter was deferred.
|
|
|
|
Trainer M.K.Jadhav was interviewed by the Stewards
regarding the comparative performance of PACIFIC ZONE in this race which
the gelding won as compared to his previous run in race no 94 run on 30th
August 2008 where the gelding ran
unplaced. Trainer Jadhav admitted that it was his mistake to run the horse
in a short span of time. However, he said that he had not fancied the horse
and he was available at longer odds. He said that this race was divided and
the field was poor with none of the other runners having any recent form
and also there was no common horse. He added that his horse had won two
races in Mumbai and had some form to go by. Tr.Jadhav pointed out that
PACIFIC ZONE was one of the horses who suffered from Respiratory infection
during the end of the Mumbai Meeting 2007/08 and had to be kept back in
Mumbai till June, 2008 and the first two races may have helped the
horse. Further, although his horse
finished 9th out of 11th in the previous race,
however, except for the first and second horse, the other horses finished
in close proximity. He said that there was no change in his training
pattern nor was there any change of equipment. Trainer M.K.Jadhav’s
attention was drawn to the Calendar Notification re “Comparative
Performance of Horses winning within a short span of time’ and he was
warned to be more careful in the future.
|
|
|
|
After the race, BLACK
PATRIDGE was observed to have an abrasion on both hind pasterns and
MYSTERIO had an abrasion on the right mandible and right hind pastern.

|
|
|
|
An objection was
lodged by Jockey M.Narredu (CAVARADOSI, placed 2nd) against
Jockey Nirmal Jodha (INCH PERFECT, pl.1st). The reason being
that approaching 200 metres, Jockey Nirmal Jodha used his whip with his
right hand whereby his mount INCH PERFECT drifted out, due to which he
received a check and his horse lost momentum, which cost him a certain
race. If Jockey Nirmal Jodha had maintained a straight course, he (Jockey
M.Narredu) would have won easily.

|
|
|
The Stewards interviewed the Jockeys concerned and reviewed the video
recording of the race. Having considered the submissions made in

the matter, the Stewards decided to uphold the Objection and to revise the

A.J. WADIA, 2008 :
|
|
The Stewards
of the Club at their meeting held on Saturday, 13th September,
2008 interviewed Jockey Samuel Fargeat and Trainer Faisal A.Abbas. Having
considered all the submissions made by them and viewing the video
recording of Race No.112, the Stewards were not satisfied with the
explanation tendered by Jockey Samuel Fargeat. However, the Stewards decided to give him the benefit of the doubt for the charge “unsatisfactory
riding” and held him guilty of riding an injudicious race for a Jockey of his
calibre. Therefore, the Stewards decided to suspend
his Jockey’s license for 28th September, 2008 (permitted to
ride work/mock race).

AUGUST, 2008 :
|
|
The Stewards
of the Club at their meeting held on Saturday, 13th September,
2008 interviewed Jockey V.Kotwal and Trainer Faisal A.Abbas. Having
considered all the submissions made by them and viewing the video
recording of Race No.64, the Stewards were not satisfied with the
explanation tendered by Jockey V.Kotwal.
However,
the Stewards decided to give him the benefit of the doubt for the charge
“unsatisfactory riding” and held
him guilty of riding a grossly incompetent race. Considering that the horse was at
longer odds, the Stewards took a lenient view in the matter and decided
to suspend his Jockey’s license w.e.f. 28th
September, 2008 to 4th October, 2008 (both days inclusive).
