After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards  and relying on their judgment, the Stewards upheld the objection and revised the order of placing as under:-

 

KHAYYAM                            -               FIRST;                   CHA CHA CHA                        -               THIRD;

Two objections were lodged in this race. The first objection was lodged by Jockey J. Chinoy, rider of ALFONSO (Placed Fourth) against INDUS PRINCE (App. Santosh G. Placed Third). The reason being, as soon as he came into the straight, near 450 metres, INDUS PRINCE came in when his horse was full of running and took his ground and he had to stop riding or else he would have definitely beaten INDUS PRINCE and run close to the winner.

 

The second objection was lodged by App. Santosh G., rider of INDUS PRINCE (Placed Third) against AURELIO (S. Zervan, placed First). The reason being, he kept a straight course but AURELIO shifted out between the 200 and 100 metres and came on to him and crossed him, which cost him a certain race.

 

After considering the submissions made by Jockeys J. Chinoy, S. Zervan and App. Santosh G. who was accompanied by the Trainer, Ms Nazak Chenoy, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to over-rule both the objections.
