Independence Cup Weekend keeps up the momentum
Sunday was a double header with two group races in the F.D.Wadia Trophy for the classic crop, and the Vascon Eve Champion Trophy for the older horses. The Wadia Trophy had a lucrative over Rs 2 million purse and the Eve Champion had first time sponsors in Vascon. The sponsors added a special dazzle to the day with a breathtaking display by Ukranian artists called Quick Change, which was much appreciated. Both group races were won by Pesi Shroff trained runners, who is hitting the mark repeatedly in the big races.
The Independence Cup was hosted for the fifth year in a row by PRA, and being run as a million the last two years. Rustom Bharucha announced to the Chairman their Group’s desire to continue their sponsorship for another five years. The Artillery Band added a special touch to Independence Day by an impressive repertoire of patriotic songs, climaxed by the National Anthem.
