1. GRAND PASSION PLATE DIV.II (1,000m), Cl. IV, rated 20 to 46: Declared null and void. Soon after the race punters staged a demonstration near the paddock and cried foul about jockey Tushar Nemane’s riding on the first favourite Celsius, who finished second to Fairy Queen. Immediately the Stewards enquiry was held into the running of the race. It was observed that Celsius who was first favourite went start to finish and in the last 100m the jockey had not taken any efforts on his mount and lost the race by a half a length. Trainer Imtiaz Sait and the owner of Celsius were also present during the enquiry and were not satisfied with the riding of T.Nemane.
When asked Senior Stipe of RWITC, Mr. Pradyumna Singh, said that “The Stewards also observed that in this race three horses were in betting, Celsius, Heavenly Prize and Fairy Queen and the third named won, hence the Stewards have further instructed the Stipes to also open an enquiry into the running and riding of the second favourite Heavenly Prize who they felt was also not ridden judiciously by M.A.Roushan and finished fourth. The Stewards after referring the rule book no. 31-A, declared the race null and void. They also suspended Tushar Nemane with immediate effect till further enquiry”.
