The afternoon’s action at the Calcutta Races – Autumn Meeting, Third Day (Thursday, 6th November 2025) – found its highlight in The Aloritz Cup, the 2nd race of the day, a Class III contest for horses rated 41–66 (rated 21–46 eligible), run over 1400 metres at 1:45 PM. Gold Empire (J: Yash Narredu | T: Rajesh Narredu) produced a commanding display to seize the Cup in a brisk 1:27.466, racing in the distinguished colours of Mr Teja Gollapudi, Mr Daulat Chhabria, M/s So Blest Trading Co Pvt Ltd & Mr Mukul A. Sonawala.
Breaking smartly from the gates, Gold Empire settled into a perfect stalking position behind the early pace-setters. Yash Narredu timed his move with precision, pushing his mount into top gear approaching the final furlong. In a thrilling stretch duel, the gelding turn of foot proved decisive, surging ahead inside the last 100 metres to claim the prize by a narrow but convincing margin.
Polka Dot (J: Antony Raj S. | T: Aashay Doctor) fought gamely to finish second, clocking 1:27.548, while Norwegian Wood (J: R. Vaibhav | T: Bharath Singh) stayed on resolutely for third in 1:27.808, ensuring a competitive finish that had the crowd on edge until the line.
With The Aloritz Cup concluded in fine style, attention now shifts to the next event on the card — The Crystal Man Handicap, promising another gripping chapter in this vibrant Calcutta racing afternoon.
