The MiD DAY Trophy, run at the Mahalaxmi racetrack yesterday, turned out to be quite a stunner.
Interestingly, MiD DAY's own tips almost swept the card, having named 11 winners out of 12 races, which also included Il Tabarro, the winner of MiD DAY Trophy, as outright first choice. But ironically, film star Akshay Kumar, the special guest of honour roped in by MiD DAY for the occasion, candidly confessed he backed a loser in the race. "I came here for the first time, bet for the first time, and lost for the first time," he told a receptive audience that enjoyed every moment of his short speech from the dais.
IL Tabarro was trained by Vinayak andridden by S A DeSousa.
The Brazilian jockey took a good jump from the gates and was content to race third or fourth all along, before urging the Ontario u2014 Sexy Gal filly immediately on rounding the turn. Il Tabarro moved up swiftly and assumed command, but looked like faltering when Royal Porthcawl, River Dragon and Bluebird started to move menacingly.
DeSousa however worked furiously on her and ensured a narrow victory.
