ADDITIONAL REPORTS:
RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF JULIETTE (DRAWN 1) IN RACE NO.49 THE MAHARAJA JIWAJIRAO SCINDIA TROPHY (GRADE 3) (DIST. 1800 MTRS.) RUN ON SUNDAY, 29TH DECEMBER 2024:
In connection with the captioned subject matter, the Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on 5th January 2025, having heard Jockey C. S. Jodha, his spokesperson Mr. P. S. Chouhan and Trainer Karthik Ganapathy and having viewed the video recording of the race in question and the previous races of the JULIETTE, the Stewards of the Club were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by Jockey C. S. Jodha. In that, he was instructed to be mindful of the mares early positioning and not to sit too far behind the field but in the early part of the race he positioned his mount at a disadvantage whereas he could have sat in a better position. Further, coming into the straight he travelled on the wide outside thereby losing considerable ground. Therefore, the Stewards of the Club by majority held Jockey C. S. Jodha guilty of riding an ill-judged race and decided to suspend his Jockeys licence for four race days i.e. on 23rd January, 1st, 2nd & 9th February 2025 (permitted to ride work/mock race).
