RE: ENQUIRY IN TO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “VIBGYOR” COUPLED WITH THE DRIFT IN ODDS IN RACE NO 257 – THE ICEBREAKER PLATE – RUN ON 13TH MARCH 2011 – TRAINER MANSOOR SHAH
Trainer Mansoor Shah was questioned with regard to the performance of his charge VIBGYOR coupled with the drift in odds, which nearly doubled at race time and the horse performed poorly. The Sr. VO has reported that VIBGYOR had broken a blood vessel during the race.
When questioned, Trainer Shah explained that the horse had won well last time out in Race no 194 over 1400 metres and in that respect he had fancied his horse. Further, he said that at a Handicap weight of 50 kg his horse had a chance. He added that his horse was running in a higher Class this time whereas MISSCHEVIOUS TROT was running in a lower Class. He said that VIBGYOR was running 200 metres
more this time and that it was too hot at the race time which may have contributed to the horse breaking a blood vessel. When informed about the drift in odds from about Even Money around one hour before the start of the First race to 21/ 10 at race time, Tr.Mansoor Shah stated that he had fancied the horse and added that the horse had broken a blood vessel for the first time and how could he be aware that the horse would break a blood vessel in this race. He said that a lot of betting came on OH CALCUTTA and that could be the reason for the drift in odds for his horse. To a further question, Trainer Shah stated he had informed the Owner that VIBGYOR had a chance, however, he was not sure whether the Owner had backed the horse or not. Trainer Mansoor Shah added that even last time the odds on VIBGYOR had drifted from around 2 to 1 to 3 to 1 and longer and the horse had won the race. He re-iterated that MISSCHEVIOUS TROT had reached Class I on its performance and was now running in a lower Class and that MISSCHEVIOUS TROT had won on merits.
The Work and Medication Log books were scrutinized. The horse was regular in work and was sufficiently worked. Further, his pattern of work prior to Race No 194 when the horse won and prior to this race was practically same. The explanation tendered by Trainer Mansoor Shah was noted.

RE : ENQUIRY INTO THE RUNNING AND RIDING OF “LIVING THE DREAM” IN RACE NO.257 – THE ICEBREAKER PLATE RUN ON 13TH MARCH, 2011 :
Trainer Dallas Todywalla and Jockey J.Chinoy were questioned in the above connection. Trainer Dallas Todywalla stated that this was a 4 horse field, as such, he had instructed Jockey J. Chinoy to sit in 2nd/3rd position, give chance in the straight and in the last part to ride out because if this horse goes to the front, he starts loafing and does not take interest in the race. When asked about his observation, he said he was very upset with the start of the race as his horse had received interference from VIBGYOR, drawn 3 and his horse was forced out at the start. Thereafter, the Jockey had nicely settled the horse in the 3rd position along the rails and at the right time, he made his move in the straight. The only mistake the Jockey committed was that he did not keep a straight course at about 200 mtrs, otherwise he took no exception to the Jockey’s riding.
Jockey J. Chinoy confirmed the instructions. He was asked as to why he waited till 350 mtrs. to which he said that the Trainer had told him to give the horse a chance in the straight, if this gelding hits the front, he does not respond well and loses interest in the race and therefore he waited after entering the straight and made his move from 350 mtrs. He added that when his horse shifted out at 200 mtrs. he had immediately tried to correct the horse and brought the horse on an even keel and rode out and was placed second.
After viewing the previous runs of this horse, the explanation tendered by Trainer Dallas Todywalla and Jockey J. Chinoy was noted.
