RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE POOR PERFORMANCE OF “CRESCENDO” IN RACE NO.93 – THE ROSMINI PLATE RUN ON 30TH DECEMBER, 2010 :
The Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Vijay Kasbekar in the above connection. It was pointed out to Trainer Kasbekar that there were three common horses in this race who had finished behind CRESCENDO in the previous race i.e. Race No.37 but had all finished ahead of CRESCENDO this time. Trainer Vijay Kasbekar said that CRESCENDO is not a genuine horse and has performed inconsistently in the past also. Further, the mare was examined the next day by the Club’s Veterinary Officer and was diagnosed to have a stifle problem and was treated for the same. This was confirmed by the Club’s Veterinary Officer who had treated the horse with Phenylbutazone on 31st December, 2010 and 1st January, 2011.
In view of the above, the explanation tendered by Trainer Vijay Kasbekar was noted.

RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “SUN KISSED” IN RACE NO.143 – THE BOOKIES DELIGHT PLATE (DIV.I) RUN ON 20TH JANUARY, 2011 :
The Stipendiary Stewards reported that they had questioned Trainer Imtiaz A.Sait and Jockey D.S.Rahore in the above connection. Trainer Imtiaz A.Sait stated that this filly has a soft mouth and the Jockey was unable to settle her in the initial part of the race. As regards the Jockey’s riding in the final stages of the race, he said that he had questioned the Jockey immediately after the race and the Jockey had informed him that the filly had nothing left and was tired and he had accepted the explanation of the Jockey.
Jockey D.S.Rathore stated that the filly was extremely keen in the initial part of the race, however, in the final stages, she had nothing left in her.
The matter was reported to the Stewards for such action as deemed fit.
The Stewards at their meeting held on Sunday, 20th February, 2011 considered the above report. They interviewed Trainer Imtiaz A.Sait and Jockey D.S.Rathore and having heard them and viewing the video recording of the race, decided to give Jockey D.S.Rathore the benefit of the doubt in this case. However, he was severely cautioned to be more careful and to ride out all his mounts past the post in the future.

RE : OBJECTION – RACE NO.211 – THE SHAMAAL PLATE (DIV.I) RUN ON 17TH FEBRUARY, 2011 – JOCKEY B.PRAKASH, RIDER OF “TAMARAI” – CARELESS RIDING :
The Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on Sunday, 20th February, 2011 interviewed Jockey B.Prakash in the above connection and having heard the submissions made and viewing the video recording of the race, were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by him and held him guilty of careless riding on his mount TAMARAI in the above race. In that, negotiating the final bend he had shifted out to take a gap and in doing so, took the ground of GAME CHANGER (N.G.McCullagh) who received interference and in turn shifted out and jostled with RIVER GEM (S.K.Jadhav).
However, taking cognizance of the explanation tendered by Jockey B.Prakash the Stewards took a lenient view in the matter and decided to only fine him a sum of Rs.15,000/- instead of suspending his Jockey’s license.
