The Stewards questioned Jockey M Ganeesh, in the presence of Trainer PS Kumaran, into the tactics that will be adopted on KIM SALUTE in this event. Jockey M Ganeesh reported that from Barrier 1, he was instructed to go forward, and try and gain a position third or fourth placing and do his best in the straight to gain the best possible placing. Trainer PS Kumaran confirmed the instructions and this was supported by the Trainer’s Instruction Form. The Stewards informed Jockey M Ganeesh that they will be monitoring his ride.
Prior to being loaded into the barriers, AIR POWER (SS Vanan) reared high in the air, dislodging its rider. Jockey SS Vanan was examined by the Club Doctor and was passed fit to fulfill his riding engagements for the remainder of the day.

Upon returning to scales, Jockey SS Vanan, the rider of AIR POWER, reported that his horse raced greenly throughout the event and Jockey C Goon, the rider of THE PROFESSIONAL, reported that the saddle on his horse slipped backwards during running.
The Stewards questioned Jockey M Ganeesh into his whip use on KIM SALUTE in particular in the home straight of this event as they were concerned that he may not have been striking the gelding, however, after viewing the official patrol films, the Stewards were satisfied and reminded him of his obligations.
