was lodged by Jockey A.Imran Khan, the rider of GRAND

forward position, the winner BRAVE (Drawn-12) came in sharply and took his
ground due to which he had to check his mount and lost balance at a very
crucial stage in a 5 furlong race which cost him a certain race.

been fined Rs.2,000/- for shifting in before crossing
the Red Marker.
Passing the
800 metres, GRAND ARCHITECT (A.Imran
Khan) had to be held due to lack of room thereby bumping ABRAXAS (App.Aniket Karande) who was
racing on his outside.
The
Equine Hospital reported that MAESTRO had right eye injury (sore eye).

RE : TRAINER DALLAS TODYWALLA’S NON APPEARANCE BEFORE THE BOARD OF APPEAL ON
WEDNESDAY, 24TH JULY, 2019 – APPEAL RECEIVED FROM JOCKEY
P.TREVOR AGAINST THE DECISION OF THE STEWARDS OF THE CLUB CONFIRMING THE
DECISION OF THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS SUSPENDING HIS JOCKEY’S LICENCE FOR
2 RACE DAYS FOR RIDING AN INCOMPETENT RACE ON “STRONG STORM” IN RACE NO.157 –
THE NOBLE OPINION PLATE RUN ON 21ST FEBRUARY, 2019 AT THE
MUMBAI RACE COURSE :
The
Board of Appeal at its meeting held on 7th August, 2019 interviewed
Tr.Dallas Todywalla in
connection with the abovementioned subject.
The
Board of Appeal considered all documents and papers that were submitted and
heard the submissions made by Trainer Dallas Todywalla.
The Board having deliberated on the matter at length had made the following
observations:
a)
When the office had sent the call letter to Trainer Dallas Todywalla
on 12th July, 2019, no explanation was given by him as to why
did he delay his reply up to 23rd July, 2019, which inferred
that there was no seriousness and the approach was casual;
b)
In the letter it was stated that “As I have operated my back”, which sentence
was correct; however, it gave an impression that the operation had been done a
month or two back but at the meeting Trainer Dallas Todywalla
had clarified that it was done about 10 months back.
c)
The letter was a mere information to the Board as it
did not show any trace of apology as advised by the Chief Stipendiary Steward.
The Board of Appeal had therefore come to a conclusion
that Trainer Dallas Todywalla had not conducted
himself well and referred to the norms related to the improper behaviour by
professionals during an enquiry which attracted a fine of Rs.10,000/- or two
months suspension.
Trainer Dallas Todywalla
apologised for his non-appearance and gave
assurance that such an act would not be repeated in future and the Board took
note of his apology as also the fact that it was not
intentional on his part to disrespect the Officials and Board.
Having taken into consideration Trainer Dallas Todywalla’s good reputation as also his clean record, the
Board decided not to impose a suspension but to fine him an amount of
Rs.20,000/-.

RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RIDING OF JOCKEY
A.SANDESH ON “SUPER MARIO” (DRAWN-5) IN RACE NO.38 – THE DR.P.K.SARDEHMUKH
MAHARAJ TROPHY (1200 METRES) RUN ON THURSDAY, 15TH AUGUST, 2019
– TRAINER SHAZAAN SHAH HAD LODGED A COMPLAINT THAT HE WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH
THE RIDING OF JOCKEY A.SANDESH :
Trainer
Shazaan Shah and Jockey A.Sandesh
were questioned on 21st August, 2019
in the above connection. Trainer Shazaan Shah
said that SUPER MARIO was earlier in the charge of Trainer Faisal A.Abbas and thereafter moved to Trainer Mansoor
Shah but he did not race under him and subsequently, the horse came to his
charge. He said that App.K.Nazil who had ridden the
horse last time when he was in charge of Trainer Faisal A.Abbas,
had informed him that the horse lugs in, hence he had instructed Jockey A.Sandesh to take a good jump and sit in 2nd/3rd position
along the rails and not to fight him and to do his best in the straight. To a
specific question, he said that he had fancied the horse and the Jockey was of
the owners’ choice.
The
video recording of the race was viewed. Trainer Shazaan
Shah said that even though the interference at the start may have had a bearing
in the Jockey not being able to position, especially considering that despite
the interference at the start he had gradually improved and come the shortest
way which was in his favour, however, he took
exception to the Jockey’s riding in the straight. In that, entering the
straight, Jockey A.Sandesh was in 4th/5thposition
and when a gap opened along the rails, he felt that the Jockey was a bit late
in taking the gap and also used the whip once and then put his whip down and
picked it up again only when he realized that he was collared by another horse
on the outside and he was feeble in his riding effort.
The
video recording of the previous run of SUPER MARIO i.e. Race No.232 run during
the Mumbai Meeting 2018/19 was viewed.
Jockey
A.Sandesh confirmed the instructions and added that
he received interference soon after the start and thereafter he gradually
improved his position and coming into the straight when a gap opened along the
rails, he waited for a couple of strides for Jockey Dashrath
Singh (ARABIAN STORM) to move out and then took the gap and did his best. He
said that due to the interference at the start, he was unable to sit well up or
else he may have won the race.
Having
heard the submissions made, viewing the video recording of the race in question
also the horse’s previous run i.e. Race No.232 run during the Mumbai Meeting
2018/19 and scrutinizing the betting sheets, the
Stipendiary Stewards are not satisfied with the explanation tendered by Jockey A.Sandesh and are reporting him to the Stewards for riding
an injudicious race.
The
Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on 14th September,
2019 interviewed Trainer Shazaan Shah and Jockey A.Sandesh in the above connection and having heard them and
having viewed the video recording of the race, the Stewards were not satisfied
with the explanation tendered by Jockey A.Sandesh and
held him guilty of riding an injudicious race on a fancied runner. In that,
entering the straight he was in 4th/5th position and
when a gap opened along the rails, he waited for a few strides and was a bit
late in taking the gap. Further, it was felt that his riding effort in the
straight was feeble as compared to his standard, in that, nobody expected him
to use the whip more than he did, however, he could have used it in a more
judicious manner and at a more appropriate time to get the best out of the
horse Trainer Shazaan
Shah had also expressed his dissatisfaction with the riding. Therefore, the
Stewards of the Club decided to suspend his Jockey’s licence
w.e.f. 5th October, 2019 to 6th October,
2019 (both days inclusive) for riding an injudicious race (permitted to ride
work/mock race).

RE : MATTER REFERRED TO THE STEWARDS OF THE CLUB BY THE BOARD OF APPEAL

RIDING ON HIS MOUNT “GODSWORD” IN RACE NO.33 – THE TRUE ELEGANCE PLATE (DIV.II)
RUN ON 15TH AUGUST, 2019 – APP.P.S.KAVIRAJ :
The Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on
Saturday, 14th September, 2019 considered all papers
and proceedings before them in the above connection and having deliberated the
matter decided to give fresh dates of suspension, i.e. App.P.S.Kaviraj’s
licence now stands suspended w.e.f.
5th October, 2019 to 6th October, 2019 (both
days inclusive) (permitted to ride work/mock race) for careless riding on his
mount GODSWORD in Race No.33 .

RE : ENQUIRY
INTO THE COMPLAINT LODGED BY TRAINER NAZZAK B.CHENOY THAT JOCKEY P.TREVOR,
RIDER OF “GOLDEN GUEST” HAD DELIBERATELY INTERFERED WITH HER HORSE “ADELE” SOON
AFTER THE START IN RACE NO.14 – THE HAWKE BAY PLATE (DIV.I) RUN ON 26TH JULY,
2019 :
The Stewards
of the Club at their meeting held on Saturday, 14th September,
2019 considered the evidence obtained by the Stipendiary Stewards in the above
enquiry. The Stewards noted that Jockey Akshay
(THOMAS HARDY) had accepted that his mount shifted in after the start despite
his efforts and went on to ROYAL ACE. Further, App.M.Ayyar
(ADELE) had also accepted that soon after the
start his mount initially shifted out and at the same time GOLDEN GUEST (P.Trevor) shifted in and they made contact and that the
incident was not intentional.
The
Stewards of the Club having heard Trainer Nazzak B.Chenoy and her Spokesman, Mr.Bezan
Chenoy and having viewed the video recording of the
race decided to close the matter.

RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF
“MONK” (A.SANDESH – FAILED FAVOURITE) IN RACE N0.28 – THE NELSON RIVER PLATE
(DIV.I) RUN ON SUNDAY, 11TH AUGUST, 2019 :
The
Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Sanjay Kolse. He stated that in Mumbai this horse came off
the pace to finish 2nd hence he had instructed Jockey A.Sandesh to keep him covered and then pull him out in the
straight and to do his best. He said that Jockey A.Sandesh
informed him after the race that the horse was trying to veer out. He felt that
the horse was still green and the ground did not suit him.
The
video recording of the previous run of the horse i.e. Race No.237 run during
the Mumbai Meeting 2018/19 was viewed. Trainer Sanjay Kolse
said that since the horse has run erratic in both his races, he would give him
some time before running him again.
Race
No.28 was viewed. Trainer Sanjay Kolse said that in
this race the horse was very keen so the Jockey sat in 2nd position
and coming into the straight when he asked for
an effort at the 300 metres, the horse dropped out
and thereafter was flat. He felt that the horse was still green and was
hesitating.
Having
heard the submissions made, viewing the video recording of the race in question
as also the horse’s previous run i.e. Race No.237 run
during the Mumbai Meeting 2018/19 and scrutinizing the betting sheets, the
Stipendiary Stewards noted the explanation.

RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF
“BERNICE” (C.S.JODHA, – FAILED FAVOURITE) IN RACE N0.30 – THE MOOSA M.HOOSEIN
TROPHY, RUN ON SUNDAY, 11TH AUGUST, 2019 :
The
Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer S.K.Sunderji and Jockey C.S.Jodha
in the above connection. Tr.S.K.Sunderji stated
that he had instructed Jockey C.S.Jodha to sit in 4th/5th position,
gradually improve and to do his best. Jockey C.S.Jodha
confirmed the instructions.
The
video recording of Race No.30 was viewed.
Trainer
S.K.Sunderji said that he cannot say that this was a
disappointing run as the filly was running after one year. He said that he was
contemplating to run in a mock race but since she was only 6 kg up from last
year and she was fit and had worked well, he decided to run her here. He added
that she was fractions and reluctant to be loaded and was sweating and was a
spent force at the start itself and subsequent examination at the Equine
Hospital after the race revealed fracture of the sesamoid,
hence he would be retiring her to the Stud.
Considering
that the filly had returned with respiratory distress and was diagnosed to have
returned sore and in view of the above statement of Trainer S.K.Sunderji
the Stipendiary Stewards decided to close the enquiry.

RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF
“TIMELESS DEEDS” (DASHRATH SINGH) IN RACE NO.30 – THE MOOSA M.HOOSEIN TROPHY
(1400 METRES) RUN ON 11TH AUGUST, 2019 WHICH THE MARE WON
AS COMPARED TO HER PREVIOUS RUN IN RACE NO.7 – THE SEASON OPENER PLATE
(APP.A.S.PETER) (1400 METRES) – RUN ON 25TH JULY, 2019 WHERE
SHE WAS PLACED THIRD:
The
Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Narendra Lagad in the above
connection. He said that in Race No.7 he had instructed App.A.S.Peter to sit in 3rd/4th position
in touch with the leaders, to keep away from the horses and to do his best in
the straight.
The
video recording of Race No.7 was viewed. Trainer Narendra
Lagad said that between the 1000 and 800 metres, App.A.S.Peter should have
moved up but he kept sitting till the final turn, however, he felt that he
would not have beaten the winner HELLS BELLS.
Thereafter
the video recording of Race No.30 was viewed. Trainer Narendra
Lagad said that in this race TIMELESS DEEDS was
drawn-10 and after the start Jockey Dashrath Singh
has pushed the horse to get his position and the pace has slowed down. He said
that this mare likes to come from the outside and he had informed App.A.S.Peter of the same and the owner was upset with the
riding, however, he felt that in Race No.7 the winner was better whereas in
Race No.30 it was a weaker field.
Apprentice
A.S.Peter confirmed the instructions and added that
he received interference soon after the start hence he lost position. Thereafter,
since there was an opening on the inside, he moved in. Trainer Narendra Lagad objected to the
Apprentice’s statement and pointed out that it was indeed App.A.S.Peter
who had shifted in and bumped the other horse.
He further added that despite this, App.A.S.Peter
could have sat in a better position and he reiterated that from the 1000 metres till past the 800 metrs App.A.S.Peter had made no effort to improve his position
and kept sitting thus leaving the mare too much to do in the straight.
Having
heard the submissions made, viewing the video recording of both the races and
scrutinizing the betting sheets, the Stipendiary Stewards were not satisfied
with the explanation tendered by App.A.S.Peter and
decided to suspend his Apprentice Jockey’s licence w.e.f. 5th October, 2019 to 6th October,
2019 (both days inclusive) for riding an incompetent race (permitted to ride
work/mock race).

The
Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Sanjay Kolse on 21st August,
2019 in the above connection. He stated that in Mumbai this horse went to
the front, hence , in this race he had instructed Jockey A.Sandesh
to take a good jump and be in 1st/2nd position, save
the filly a bit up the hill and to do his best. He said that when the filly won
in her last run in Mumbai, it was her fourth run hence she was mush fitter

as instructed but when he asked her for an effort, she went flat and he was
disappointed with her run.
The

“IN IT TO WIN IT” (A.SANDESH, DR.5) IN RACE NO.47 – THE RAJARAM CHHATRAPATI
TROPHY (1800 METRES) RUN ON 24TH AUGUST, 2019 WHICH THE
GELDING WON AS COMPARED TO HIS PREVIOUS RUN IN RACE NO.17 – THE J.E.HUGHES
TROPHY (APP.D.R.SHUBHAM, DR.4) (1400 METRES) – RUN ON 3RD AUGUST,
2019 WHERE HE WAS UNPLACED:
The
Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha in the above
connection. It was pointed out to him that IN IT TO WIN IT had shown an
improvement of over 15 lengths vis-à-vis the two common horses VALEGRO and
ZENON in a matter of 21 days. Further, the horse was at long odds in Race No.17
whereas this time in Race No.47 he put up a good
Jockey and he was in the betting. Trainer Adhirajsingh
Jodha said that in the previous race the horse ran
after a long lay off and App.D.R.Shubham who rode him, did not have a whip and
he now felt that the horse requires the whip. Further, the horse received
multiple checks in that race and passing the 600 metres,
he was along the rails which the horse does not like and if the Jockey had to
pull him out at that stage, he would have had to come from the outside of
MOMENTUM. He said that as far as the improvement vis-à-vis the common horses
was concerned, VALEGRO was running for the first time over the distance of 1800
metres in a handicap race and the horse did not
settle in the race and as for ZENON, he has beaten him in Mumbai in a mile
race.
The
video recording of both the races were viewed.
Having
heard the submissions made, viewing the video recording of both the races and
scrutinizing the betting sheets, the Stipendiary Stewards were not satisfied
with the explanation tendered by Trainer Adhirajsingh
Jodha. In that, although the horse raced after a gap
of 21 days and the distance was 400 metres extra,
however, in Race No.17 he was ridden by an apprentice and was at long odds and
subsequently he was ridden by Jockey A.Sandesh and he
won well fancied showing an improvement of over 15 lengths vis-à-vis the two
common horses. Therefore, the Stipendiary Stewards decided to fine him a sum of
Rs.10,000/-.

RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RIDING OF “ABERLOUR”
(APP.S.A.AMIT, DRAWN – 4) – IN RACE N0.54 – THE
DR.K.VASUDEVAN TROPHY (1400 METRES) RUN ON SUNDAY, 25TH AUGUST,
2019 :
Immediately
after the race, Trainer Altamaash A.Ahmed
had lodged a verbal complaint that he was not happy with the riding of App.S.A.Amit on ABERLOUR in this race.
Trainer
Altamaash A.Ahmed and App.S.A.Amit were questioned on 29th August,
2019 in the above connection. Trainer Altamaash
A.Ahmed said that he had instructed the Jockey to sit
in 5th/6th position, keep one horse off the rails
considering the underfoot condition, come into the straight and to do his
best.
App.S.A.Amit confirmed the
instructions and added that soon after the start THEA’S PET (App. P. S. Kaviraj, dr.7) shifted in and went across him causing him
to check his mount and drop back.
The
video recording of Race No.54 was viewed. Trainer Altamaash
A.Ahmed said that considering that this was a 1400 metres race, after the interference the Jockey had ample
opportunity to improve his position, instead he made no effort to do so and
further dropped back and thereafter made his move far too late.
When
asked to respond, App.S.A.Amit had no response to the
above.
Having
heard the submissions made, viewing the video recording of the race and
scrutinizing the betting sheets, the Stipendiary Stewards were not satisfied
with the explanation tendered by App.S.A.Amit and
decided to suspend his Apprentice Jockey’s licence w.e.f. 5th October, 2019 to 6th October,
2019 for riding an injudicious race (permitted to ride work/mock race).

RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF
“SASSY LASS” (APP.A.S.PETER, DR.6) IN RACE NO.54 – THE DR.K.VASUDEVAN TROPHY
(1400 METRES) RUN ON 25TH AUGUST, 2019 WHICH THE MARE WON
AS COMPARED TO HER PREVIOUS RUN IN RACE NO.13 – THE ALLEY CAT PLATE (APP.NIRANJAN
S.PARMAR, DR.6) (1200 METRES) – RUN ON 26TH JULY, 2019
WHERE SHE WAS UNPLACED:
The
Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Asad Siddiqui in the above
connection. It was pointed out to him that in Race No.13 SASSY LASS was
at long odds and in Race No.54 the mare won well fancied. Trainer Asad Siddiqui stated that he had
given similar instructions in both the races i.e. to sit in 3rd/4th/5th position
and to make the run from the outside since she has always won that way. He said
that in the previous race, SASSY LASS ran in a higher class over 1200 metres in a much better field whereas this time she ran in
a lower class over 1400 metres. Also, when she ran
the previous time the going was different. As regards the betting, he said that
in Race No.13 it was a tough set and he had
fancied the mare in Place and this time she won in a weaker set and the odds
have also drifted to 5/1.
The
video recording of both the races were viewed.
Having
heard the submissions made, viewing the video recording of both the races and
scrutinizing the betting sheets, the explanation tendered by Trainer Asad Siddiqui has been noted.
