A Stewards’ Enquiry was also held in this race. The reason being that STAR SYMPHONY (App.A.Sandesh, placed 1st) shifted-in in the last 100 metres on to VISIONAIRE (App.D.Akkshay, placed 3rd) who in turn shifted on to EMERALD VALLEY. Due to the above, VISIONAIRE was squeezed in between STAR SYMPHONY and EMERALD VALLEY and due to a chain reaction, CROWNED PRINCESS (H.G.Rathod) who was racing along the rails, received severe interference.
The Stewards obtained the evidence from the Jockeys concerned, in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards/Racing Advisor and relying on their observation of both the incidents, decided that no change in the order of placing was called for and further decided to overrule the Objection. In the above connection, App.A.Sandesh and App.D.Akkshay were charged with Careless Riding. Consideration of the matter was deferred to the next meeting of the Stewards.

RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “LYRICAL SYMPHONY” IN RACE NO.190 – THE KANTHARA PLATE (1000 METRES) RUN ON 3RD OCTOBER, 2010 :
The Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer M.K.Jadhav and Jockey R.Shelar in the above connection. Trainer M.K.Jadhav stated that it was only third run of LYRICAL SYMPHONY in Race No.190 and she is still green and has no knowledge of racing and also she does not have early speed. He said that this was a 1000 metres race and the filly was drawn-12 and he had instructed the Jockey not to start pushing from the word go since he has been called up several times in the past for traveling wide, therefore, he had told the Jockey to let the first lot of horse go ahead and then bring the filly in, start niggling and let her get into her stride in the first two furlongs and then start riding out and try to win the race. He said that he had accepted to race the filly in this race considering that it was a race for maiden 3 years old horses who have run and not placed 2nd/3rd.
Jockey R.Shelar confirmed the instructions and added that the filly did not show early speed and took time to come into her stride and started galloping only towards the end. When asked whether he had worked the filly before this race, Jockey R.Shelar said that this filly does not work on the track since she injures herself. To another question as why he did not start pushing a earlier when the filly came into her stride, Jockey R.Shelar said that he started niggling the filly from the 800 metres but the filly did not show early speed and was not comfortable, and hence he gave her time to come into her stride and then started pushing her. He said that the filly started galloping only in the last 100 metres.
Trainer M.K.Jadhav confirmed that this filly has the peculiar habit of getting injured during work, before her previous run when she was spurted, she came back with an injury to her elbow and hence she is mostly kept on slow work or they run her in a Mock Race and she keeps improving from race to race. Trainer M.K.Jadhav produced his Work Log Book.
The video recording of Race No.190 was viewed. Trainer M.K.Jadhav said that the Jockey had started niggling the filly from 800 metres onwards but the filly did not show early speed. Also, DISTANT PROMISE who was racing ahead, kept an erratic course and his Jockey was in two minds whether to come from the inside or outside. Trainer M.K.Jadhav felt that if the Jockey had started pushing earlier, probably the filly would have traveled wide round the bend. He said that the Jockey had ridden out the filly in the straight and even used the whip and he was satisfied with the Jockey’s riding. He said that even in the previous race i.e. Race No.155 run over 1400 metres, the filly had warmed up only towards the end.
The Stewards considered the above report and the explanation tendered by the Trainer and Jockey was noted.

RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “WILD IMAGINATION” IN RACE NO.190 – THE KANTHARA PLATE (1000 METRES) RUN ON 3RD OCTOBER, 2010 :
The Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Narendra Lagad and Jockey Sunny Chinoy in the above connection. Trainer Narendra Lagad stated that he had instructed the Jockey to try and hit the front and to do his best.
The video recording of the race was viewed and Trainer Narendra Lagad was questioned about his observation of the Jockey’s riding. Trainer Narendra Lagad said that the Jockey has pushed the filly all through the race to try and remain as close as possible to the front horse who was far ahead. He said that in Race No.190, it was the sixth run of the filly and she was still a maiden, having placed fourth twice earlier and this was the best run of the filly since she has run again after this race and has finished off board. He said that the Jockey had done his best and he was satisfied with the Jockeys riding.
Jockey Sunny Chinoy confirmed the instructions and added that the filly did not have the initial speed to hit the front and therefore he settled her in 2nd/3rd position and did his best. He added that the filly was hanging out in the straight and he had used the whip in excess of the prescribed limit so as to correct her.
The video recording of Race No.190 was viewed again and it was pointed out to Jockey Sunny Chinoy that when he used the whip with the left hand, he held the reins tight with the other hand and also kept using the whip continuously without giving the filly a chance to respond. If the filly was lugging out, he should have tried to pull her in and correct her instead of holding the reins tight. Jockey Sunny Chinoy stated that the filly was on her wrong leg and lugging out badly and despite using the whip with the left hand, she still did not come on the right leg. He said that if he had tried to pull her in at that stage, he may have lost further ground and hence he kept using the whip with the left hand and held the reins tight with the other hand so as to prevent her from shifting out further. He said that he had done his best.
Trainer Narendra Lagad said that WILD IMAGINATION is a small filly and Jockey Sunny Chinoy being a tall boy, possibly found it difficult to ride her. To a further question, Tr.Narendra Lagad said that this filly did not have the habit of hanging in or out but in this particular race the filly was lugging out.
The Stewards considered the above report and the explanation tendered by the Trainer and Jockey was noted.
