Ace jockey P Trevor chose the Sunday races to get into his element and advertised, in no uncertain terms, his intention to win the season's champion jockey title when he booted home five winners on the seven-race card. His victories also included the Race Of Hope Gold Cup, which he bagged in a three-horse photo finish astride Galloping Glory, trained by Aman Altaf Hussain. The last-named was the only other trainer (besides Pesi Shroff: El Greco & Tiepolo) to score more than once, when the same Trevor drove his Art Collector to a facile victory in the Behram A Engineer Trophy, the final race of the day

Earlier in the evening, Trevor had run away from his rivals, astride Eloquent, to bag the Truefitt & Hills Founder Trophy after the favourite, Divine Intuition (S Saqlain up) cut extremely fast early fractions and lost all steam near the final furlong marker of the five-furlong sprint. Eloquent was trained by Shazaan Shah.
