The Leo D'Silva-trained Corfe Castle produced a stunning gallop in the hands of jockey P Trevor to win the Dr SC Jain Sprinters' Championship (Gr 2), the feature event of Sunday's eight-race card at Mahalaxmi. Corfe Castle, bred at the Poonawalla stud, is the joint property of Ramakrishna Reddy, Tinder S Ahluwalia and the Poonawalla Racing & Breeding Pvt Ltd.

The local duo of Iron Age (Y S Srinath up) and Kildare (A Sandesh up) jumped out smartly and vied for the lead, while P Trevor astride Corfe Castle chose to settle near the rear of the field, with only Augustus Caesar (Neeraj Rawal up) behind him. Iron Age brought them all into the homestretch, and the moment Corfe Castle straightened up, Trevor angled him out, grabbed the outer lane, and asked him to go. Within no time, the game galloper unleashed a bundle of energy to sweep past his rivals. Corfe Castle's turn of foot was so spectacular, the others appeared almost motionless as he rocketed past them.
