horse. Jockey A. Roy advised that CRACKON took a sideway start from the gate itself and
he did not have enough time to correct his horse. He added that being a 990m race, he did
not want to restrain his horse in any manner in order that the chances of his horse are
prejudiced. However, he did not cause any interference to any other horse at the start.
5. Jockey J. Allyhosain (PROFICIENT) appeared before the Board in relation to his riding in
the race, despite a disadvantageous start, when he appeared to have not covered the ground
on BADAWEE (R. Oodith) between the 700m to the 300m. Jockey J. Allyhosain advised
that after the bad start, he gave his horse a chance and let him stride on its own and he
intended to ride his horse after the crossing at 450m. An inquiry will be opened into his
ride in this race.
6. Jockey S. Rama (TARTARUS) appeared before the Board in relation to his riding between
the 850m and the 600m, when from a three wide position, he brought his horse back behind
runners to be along the rails. Jockey S. Rama advised that he could not have ridden and
positioned his horse in front of PROFICIENT or alongside the latter, therefore he elected
to bring his horse back and take the rail position so as to not cover additional ground which
would have been the case if he was on the outside of PROFICIENT since the bend starts
from the 600m until the 300m. After holding a review into Jockey S. Rama’s riding of
TARTARUS, the Stewards decided not to pursue the matter further.

leaving the 1500m, Jockey S. Rama, after a slow start, allowed his horse to move forward
and take the lead near the 1300m. Jockey S. Rama advised that the horse being a puller, he
did not want to fight with LINE OF DUTY and let it roll at its own pace and the reason for
electing to do so was the reduction of the pace by the leader, GONNABEALRIGHT (C.
Segeon), which resulted in MENELAUS (B. Bhaugeerothee) losing pace and as he was
following MENELAUS at that stage, he elected to move out from behind of MENELAUS

Jockey S. Rama and expressed his satisfaction with the decision of the Jockey to not fight
with his horse and allow it to roll along. However, a review will be held into his ride.
