RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “SUN GOLD” IN RACE NO.59 – THE SONNY BRAR TROPHY, RUN ON 23^rd JANUARY, 2022 :

In connection with the captioned matter the Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on Sunday, 20^th February 2022, considered all the submissions made by Apprentice Kirtish Bhagat and Tr. P. Shroff and having viewed the video of the race, the Stewards were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by Apprentice Kirtish Bhagat. The Stewards noted that his instructions were to take a good jump, sit in a decent position, and do his best. After the start, he was in a good position but thereafter did not make efforts to maintain his position and gradually dropped back thereby placing his mount at a big disadvantage. However, considering that he is an upcoming Apprentice, the Stewards decided to give him the benefit of the doubt for “unsatisfactory riding” and held him guilty of riding an injudicious race. Therefore, the Stewards decided to fine him a sum of Rs.10,000/-.
