RE: ENQUIRY INTO THE RIDING OF JOCKEY T.S. JODHA ON HIS MOUNT “TREASURE GOLD” (DRAWN 5) IN RACE NO. 25 – THE FAIZ JASDANWALLA TROPHY (DIST. 2000 MTRS.) RUN ON 28TH DECEMBER 2021 :

 

On a complaint from Trainer Bezan Chenoy, an enquiry was initiated into the riding of Jockey T. S. Jodha on his mount TREASURE GOLD in race No. 25 – The Faiz Jasdanwalla Trophy run on 28th December 2021.

 

On being questioned, Trainer Bezan Chenoy stated that he had instructed Jockey T.S. Jodha to sit in the mid bunch and to do his best in the straight. He added that in his view the Jockey sat too far behind.

 

Race No. 25 was viewed in the presence of Jockey T.S. Jodha and it was pointed out to him that he had all the opportunity to sit up as instructed by the trainer, however, he decided to sit at the backend thus placing his mount to a disadvantage. Jockey T.S. Jodha stated that he sat behind ZARAK (Suraj Narredu) since he was the danger to the field.

 

Having heard the submissions made and having viewed the race in question, the Stipendiary Stewards concurred with Trainer’s view as such it was decided to suspend Jockey T. S. Jodha for one race day i.e. on 10th March 2022, for indifferent riding.
