RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF “RIVER GEM” (PLACED THIRD) IN RACE NO.103 – THE NEW YEAR TROPHY (DIV.II) (1200 METRES) RUN ON 2ND JANUARY, 2011 AS COMPARED TO ITS PREVIOUS RUN IN RACE NO.56 – THE UTTAM SINGH TROPHY (DIV.I) (1200 METRES) RUN ON 12TH DECEMBER, 2011 WHERE IT WAS UNPLACED :
The Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer S.K.Sunderji and Jockey D.K.Ashish in the above connection. Trainer Sunderji stated that he had given similar instructions to Jockey D.K.Ashish on both the occasions, i.e. to make the running and to do his best. Jockey D.K.Ashish confirmed the instructions and stated that he had done his best in both the races.
Trainer S.K.Sunderji attributed the poor performance of RIVER GEM in Race No.56 to the following reasons :-
1) In Race No.56 the field was much stronger as compared to Race No.103;
2) In Race No.103 the winner clocked 1 Minute 13.51 seconds as compared to Race No.56 where the winner clocked 1 Minute 11.94 seconds i.e. 1.53 seconds faster;
3) In Race No56, it was the first run of the gelding in Mumbai and the horse has shown slight improvement thereafter;
4) The common horse UPROAR finished behind RIVER GEM in both the races.
After viewing the video recording of both the races, the explanation tendered by the Trainer and Jockey was noted.

RE : COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF “ADALLIA” (PLACED THIRD) IN RACE NO.114 – THE COLUMBUS PLATE (DIV.I) (1200 METRES) RUN ON 6TH JANUARY, 2011 AS COMPARED TO HER PREVIOUS RUN IN RACE No.80 – THE ALVARITA PLATE (1200 METRES) RUN ON 23RD DECEMBER, 2010 WHERE SHE WAS UNPLACED :
The Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Imtiaz A.Sait in the above connection.
Trainer Imtiaz A.Sait attributed the poor performance of ADALLIA in Race No.80 to the following reasons :-
1) In Race No.80 it was the first run of the horse in Mumbai and she had the disadvantage of being drawn on the extreme outside i.e. Draw -14;
2) In Race No.80 his instructions to Apprentice M.A.Roushan were to be in forward position. However, immediately after the race the Jockey reported that the horse did not show initial speed as such he was unable to follow the instructions;
3) In Race No.114 he had declared a stronger rider i.e. Jockey Imran Chisty who managed to ride the filly in a much better fashion, followed the instructions and the mare managed to finish third;
4) On both the occasions, ADALLIA was available at 20/1.
After viewing the video recording of both the races, the explanation tendered by the Trainer and Jockey was noted.
