RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE RIDING OF JOCKEY S.ZERVAN ON “SAMBA WARRIOR” IN RACE NO.235 – THE F.K.VAKIL TROPHY RUN ON WEDNESDAY, 26TH FEBRUARY, 2014 :
The Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on Thursday, 6th March, 2014 interviewed Jockey S.Zervan in the above connection and having heard him and having viewed the video recording of the race, the Stewards were not entirely satisfied with the explanation tendered by him. The Stewards noted that in the last furlong Jockey S.Zervan had a gap on the inside but he chose to make his move from the outside and also travelled wide thus losing valuable ground, which may have cost him the race. However, since he was specifically instructed by the Trainer to make his move from the outside, the Stewards decided to give him the benefit of a grave doubt and he was warned for the future.
