In the final furlong of the Kailashpat Singhania Trophy (1400m), the feature event of Sunday's seven-race card, when Azrinaz (A Sandesh up) and Ataash (TS Jodha up) were busy sapping each other's energy in what looked like a decisive duel, the oldest horse in the fray--Charlie--accelerated beautifully in the hands of jockey Bhavani Singh to steal the thunder--and the race! 

Charlie is trained by Vinesh and owned by Peter Deubet and Ferzin Gaekwad, the latter happens to the trainer's wife. Admitting that Charlie relishes longer trips, Ferzin said, "We took a chance in this race (against younger horses) because there was no suitable race for him in the near future." "We are very happy Charlie pulled it off," a thrilled Peter added.
