The
Jockey Md. Ismail, who rode Aprameya in the Sircilla Plate (Div. I), faces the most severe penalties. The Stewards have withdrawn his ‘A’ jockey’s licence effective from November 10, 2026, through to March 31, 2027. Furthermore, Ismail has been disqualified until March 31, 2028, after being found guilty of multiple breaches under Rule 202 (i) (vii) of the HRC Rules of Racing, specifically concerning improper, dishonest, dishonourable, and fraudulent practices.
Disciplinary action against trainer S.A. Raza Shehzad
Trainer S.A. Raza Shehzad has also been penalised by the HRC Stewards regarding his role with the horse Nyanza. His ‘A’ trainer’s licence has been withdrawn for a period spanning November 19, 2026, to March 31, 2027. This decision was reached due to the inconsistent performance of the horse under his care.
In addition to the suspension of his licence, Shehzad was found to have failed in his administrative duties, specifically regarding the maintenance of required work and veterinary record logbooks. Consequently, he has been issued a fine of ₹20,000 under Rule 202 (XVI) of the HRC Rules of Racing. These actions reflect the club's ongoing enforcement of its regulatory standards following the October race meeting.
