He further stated that the jockey had taken an undue lead from the 1400 meters which he had subsequently informed the Stipendiary Stewards.

Jockey Ishwar Pardeshi confirmed the instructions and added that the horse was sluggish in the initial part of the race and therefore he alerted the gelding to maintain his position.
