UNPRECEDENTED BONANZA
by Milan Luthria
The Poonawallas have pulled out all stops to make this Sunday the 23rd of Feb a mega racing event.
All entrants get an UNPRECEDENTED free betting voucher and a form for a whopping contest of skill with a Honda Amaze as the top prize.
With a Clash of the Titans between Indian and Foreign jockeys, a glittering fashion show and of course the richest race for 3 year olds in the country, the day promises to be a high octane bonanza from 4 pm onwards.
Several precocious and talented colts and fillies are vying for the honour of India’s best juvenile. Among these are:
AIR BLAST
Air Support-Sabre Dance
S. K. Sunderji
After winning his maiden race in Mumbai, ran 2nd (1¼ lengths) to Lombardy in Hyderabad.
GIANT STAR
Excellent Art-Sweeping Star
Deepesh Narredu
Won over 1600 mts on debut on Derby Day. This run got extra impetus when his full-brother was sold under the hammer for a record 41.5 lakhs.
GOLDEN OAKS
Leitir Mor-Messalina
S. Padmanabhan
Ran 5½ lengths behind Forest Flame on debut. Subsequently won the Rattonsey Million on Derby Day
CALIFORNIA
Speaking of Which-Godspeed
Deepesh Narredu
Ran 2nd on debut and then won The Gool Poonawalla Million.
FOREST FLAME
Leitir Mor-Memory Bay
S. S.Attaollahi
Winner from both starts including The Breeders Produce by 9½ lengths on Derby Day. Gets the Top billing.
LOMBARDY
Leitir Mor-Lombardia
L.V.R.Deshmukh
Won both her races at Hyderabad.
and
SUCCESSOR
Leitir Mor-Sweeping Success
D. Todywalla
Winner of 1 race from 2 starts.
Forest Flame, Giant Star and Golden Oaks are likely to fight it out, with a rank outsider never ruled out among yet immature 3 year olds.
Racing doesn’t get much better than this, and as the sponsors lay out the red carpet for ALL patrons, make the most of this extravaganza and head to Mahalaxmi!
