RACE NO.1(217) – THE BLURR TROPHY: (About) 1200 Metres – Runners - 12

Trainer Karthik G. has been fined Rs.1,000/- for giving Clearance to two Trainers to declare his Apprentice S.Mosin, which resulted in the Apprentice being declared to ride on two horses in the same race.

At the start, PRINCE ARIUS (Akshay) jumped out awkwardly.

Trainer Altamaash A.Ahmed and Jockey Shrikant Kamble were questioned regarding the poor performance of CRRISP. The Jockey said that his Instructions were to go to the front. He stated that his mount did not respond to his urgings and after the race he had informed the Trainer that his mount was sluggish while proceeding to the Gates. Trainer Altamaash A.Ahmed was informed that the odds on the gelding drifted and he had performed poorly. The Trainer stated that the Instructions were to go to the front and if he could not do so, then to be in 2^nd position. He said that there was no common horse and that the gelding had no form coming into this race, hence he was surprised at the short odds though he did give the horse a chance to race well. He added that the gelding today raced over 1200 metres which was 400 metres shorter than in Race no 161 where the gelding had performed decently. He also cited the shorter time gap between today’s race and the previous race i.e. Race no 206 may be the reason for poor performance. He added that the horse has broken a blood vessel on previous occasions, which was also the reason for the Owners to have sold this horse. The Trainer opted for endoscopy for the gelding. On a request, the Sr. VO reported that CRRISP had returned sore by the right fore leg. Also, on Endoscopy, the horse was found to have bled internally (Gr.II EIPH). The explanation tendered by the Trainer and Jockey has been noted.

GEROME (R.Hughes) was fractious in the stall and not allowing the rider to settle. The Trainer has been asked to give the colt more gate practice and show him to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

Two objections were lodged in this race. The first objection was lodged by Jockey David Allan, rider of STARRY EYES (Placed Second), against Jockey B.Sreekanth (MURIOI, placed First). The reason being, in the last furlong, MURIOI carried him to the right and made his horse hit the horse on the inside and lose balance and momentum at a vital stage of the race which cost him the race as his filly was regaining towards the finish.

The second objection was lodged by Jockey D.K.Ashish, rider of FALCON (Placed Fifth), against DANCING PRANCES (Dashrath Singh, Placed Fourth). The reason being, DANCING PRANCES came out sharply on to him when his horse was full of running, due to which his horse shied at about 20 metres from the winning post, which cost him the fourth place.

After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to over-rule both the objections.

The Stewards after the last race, interviewed Jockey Dashrath Singh for careless riding on his mount DANCING PRANCES and not being satisfied with the explanation tendered by him, decided to suspend his Jockey’s license for 14^th March, 2013 (permitted to ride work/mock race).

Near 400 metres, ALBERTINO (Paul Mulrennan) received interference as STARRY EYES (David Allan) shied away and shifted in due to MURIOI (B.Sreekanth) lugging inwards.

Jockey David Allan (STARRY EYES) has been fined Rs.1,000/- for using the whip in excess of the prescribed limit on his mount.

MURIOI lugged-in in the straight. Trainer S.Ganapathy has been asked to take remedial measures before next accepting to race the colt.

The colt was taken out and examined by the Club’s V.O. and found to have suffered cut injury on the left stifle and an abrasion on the left

fore cannon. As such, ANCIENT WARRIOR was certified unfit to race and hence withdrawn on Veterinary grounds, before coming under the Starter’s Order.
