failing to respond adequately. The

that he was displeased with the riding of the apprentice in so far as the start
of the race was concerned and the subsequent wide negotiation of the bend by
his charge. Tr. Rodrigues Jr. informed
the Stipendiary Stewards that he will not be permitting the apprentice to ride
this gelding again as there had been earlier complaints by the concerned trainer
against the apprentice whenever he rode the gelding. App Vikash Tamang stated that he was
instructed to be positioned 4th/5th in the early stages
of the race and it was for this reason he restrained his horse momentarily at
the start and concluded by stating that thereafter despite his best efforts in the
early stages the gelding did not adequately respond. The Stipendiary Stewards informed App Vikash

race riding and once again advised him to report to Mr. N Bird, the Jockey Coach
