ADDITIONAL REPORTS:
RE:
ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “AHEAD OF MY TIME” (DRAWN 2) RUN IN RACE
NO. 28 – THE YOHAN Z. POONAWALLA TURF CLUB TROPHY (GR.3) (DIST. 1400 MTRS.) ON
13TH AUGUST 2023 :
In connection with the captioned subject
matter the Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on Saturday, 26th
August 2023, having considered the submissions made by Jockey Akshay Kumar and Trainer Dallas Todywalla
and having viewed the video recording of Race No.28, the Stewards were not
satisfied with the explanation tendered by Jockey Akshay
Kumar especially keeping in mind his caliber of riding and therefore decided to
fine him a sum of Rs.20,000/- for incompetent riding, the reason being that his
account of the events indicated that his mount began to hang out from the 1200 metres mark onward. Despite this, the Stewards found that
he did not take adequate corrective measures to address this issue.
Additionally, it was observed that upon entering the straight, he continued to
tap his mount from the right even though his mount was already hanging out
thereby losing valuable ground and when he changed his whip hand, the horse has
responded well and ran on to finish third.
Further, Trainer Dallas Todywalla
has been asked to take remedial measures, before next accepting to race.

RE:
ENQUIRY INTO THE RIDING OF “CHAMPAGNE SMILE” (DRAWN 4) IN RACE NO. 44 – THE
ASTRAL FLARE PLATE (DIV. I) (DIST. 1000 MTRS.) RUN ON 15TH AUGUST
2023 :
In
connection with the captioned subject matter the Stewards of the Club at their
meeting held on Saturday, 26th August 2023, having considered the
submissions made by Jockey S. Saqlain and Trainer
Dallas Todywalla and having viewed the video of Race
No.44 and the filly’s previous starts and keeping in mind all the
circumstances, the Stewards decided to give Jockey S. Saqlain
the grave benefit of doubt for unsatisfactory riding and severely reprimand him
to be careful in the future.
Further, he was also cautioned that in future, if he was
found guilty of any similar incident, stern action would be initiated against
him.

RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RIDING OF “QUEENS PRIDE” (DRAWN 9)
IN RACE NO. 32 – THE STARRY BROOK PLATE (DIST. 1000 MTRS.) RUN ON 14TH AUGUST
2023 :
In connection with the captioned subject matter the
Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on Saturday, 26th August
2023, having considered the submissions made by Jockey Gagandeep
Maan and his Spokesperson Mr. Adhirajsingh
Jodha as also Trainer Altaf
Hussain and having viewed the video of Race No.32 as
also her previous run in Race No. 6, the Stewards were not satisfied with the
explanation tendered by Jockey Gagandeep Maan and held him guilty of unsatisfactory riding on his
mount QUEENS PRIDE in Race No.32, in that, before the race, he was warned by
the part-owner and Trainer that there was a drift in odds and therefore they
had specifically instructed him to sit in the 2nd / 3rd position which he
failed to do so thereby placing his mount at a disadvantage. It was also noted
that the filly had never behaved in a similar manner (jumped awkwardly) at the
start in the past.
Accordingly, the Stewards decided to suspend his Jockey’s
license for a period covering 12 race days i.e. w.e.f.
16th September 2023 till the end of Pune Meeting 2023
thus covering 9 days and the balance period of three race days during the
Mumbai Meeting 2023/24, the dates of which will be intimated to him in due
course (permitted to ride work/mock race).
