The Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Narendra Lagad and Jockey H. G.Rathod in the above connection. Trainer Narendra Lagad said that LOYAL TYCOON was a five year old horse who was still a maiden. He said that because of unsoundness, he cannot work the horse on the Track and kept him on swimming and the horse comes up race to race. He said that in Race No.37 he had instructed the Jockey to ride his own race, however, he had also told him that the horse has soundness problem, therefore, to try and give him support in the early part and ride out in the straight. Jockey H.G.Rathod confirmed the instruction and added that the horse was lugging-in in the early part and therefore he held the left rein tight and rode out in the straight.
The video recording of Race No.37 was viewed and it was pointed out to Jockey H.G.Rathod that this was a 1000 metres race and the horse took a good start but thereafter, he had held the horse back by holding the left reins tight instead of allowing the horse to run free. Jockey H.G.Rathod reiterated that the horse was lugging-in soon after the start and therefore he held the left reins tight. Also, it was at the back of his mind that the horse has soundness problem and he wanted to give him support in the early part as instructed by the Trainer. He said that he had not worked the horse prior to the race and this was the first time he rode the horse. Also, the horse did not have early speed and had warmed up towards the end and he had advised the Trainer to run him over a longer trip.
Trainer Narendra Lagad confirmed that the Jockey had advised him after the race to run the horse over a longer trip. He said that the horse returned sound after Race No.37, however, he came back sore after Track Work this morning (18th December, 2010).
After scrutinizing the betting sheets and keeping in mind that the horse has soundness problem and he will soon turn a 6-year-old and was still a maiden, the explanation tendered by the Trainer and Jockey was noted.
