have not won a race at any centre since that date – To be ridden by Jockeys of
Indian Nationality (About) 1400 Metres (3.15/3.15) :
7 runners
Some distance after the
start, in a slow run race OAKDALE (N S Parmar) was
checked by its rider to avoid clipping the heels of STAR WAGER (M Maseyk). FLYING
WONDER (App Mohit Singh) travelling directly behind
OAKDALE was consequently checked by its rider.
Since the incident was accidental no further action was taken beyond
noting the incident.
Passing the distance
post FLYING WONDER (App Mohit Singh) under the whip
drifted ‘outwards’ and finished the race on the outer portion of the race
track. App Mohit
Singh was advised to report to Mr. N Bird, the Jockey Coach, for appropriate
corrective measures.
Tr. Bharath
Singh when afforded an opportunity to explain the running of his charges
OAKDALE (N S Parmar) and STAR WAGER (M Maseyk) stated that with reference to OAKDALE, he had
instructed the jockey to be positioned 3rd/4th in the
early and middle stages of the race and thereafter to do his best. He was disappointed with the filly’s performance
and was of the opinion that the slow pace in the early and middle stages of the
race may have contributed to her poor performance as the jockey fought against her in his endeavour to follow the instructions. The trainer also informed that Jockey Parmar was of the opinion that the filly required to be
raced over a shorter distance. With
regard to the performance of STAR WAGER he was pleasantly surprised with the
victory as the stable did not fancy its chances to win and he opined that this
was the third run of the gelding in its career and it seemed to relish the
longer distance as compared to the distance of its previous race. The Stipendiary Stewards while noting the
explanations tendered by the trainer, informed him to ensure that his horses perform with a degree of
consistency.

PENTAGON TROPHY – For Horses 4 years old and over (About) 1200 Metres (About) 1200 Metres
(3.45/3.45) : 4 runners
Jockey N S Parmar, the rider of CARIBBEAN QUEEN, reported that soon
after jumping out of the gates SAMARKHAND (B Mahesh) shifted ‘inwards’ causing
him to check his mount. The jockey also
reported that his
saddle slipped back soon after the start as a result he could not ride out his
mount to complete advantage. Tr. P Shroff was fined a sum of Rs. 1,000/- for faulty
saddling.
An enquiry has been
opened into the riding of Jockey B Mahesh (SAMARKHAND) in that soon after the
start he rode his horse ‘inwards’ for no apparent reason thereby causing CARIBBEAN
QUEEN (N S Parmar) to check and lose ground and
thereafter while negotiating the final bend when CARIBBEAN QUEEN was making
progress on his outside, he rode his mount ‘outwards’ for no apparent reason
thereby inconveniencing and carrying CARIBBEAN QUEEN momentarily wide. The result of this enquiry will be informed
at a later date.
