The afternoon card at Mysore Race Club’s Monsoon Meeting (9th Day, Friday, 03 October 2025) came alive in the 4th race — The Justice P. Medapa Memorial Trophy, a Class II contest for horses rated 60 and above over 1200 metres at 03:30 PM. Knotty Blush (J: Suraj Narredu, T: K. Purshotham), racing in the colours of Ms K Kamesh and Ashok Ranpise, delivered a commanding performance, crossing the finish line in 1:10.163 to secure a memorable victory.
From the outset, Knotty Blush settled just off the pace, conserving energy while keeping a keen eye on the leaders. As the field turned into the straight, Suraj Narredu produced a decisive surge, threading through the gaps with precision. The winner’s powerful burst in the final furlong proved decisive, allowing Knotty Blush to edge clear and claim the trophy in style.
Star Concept (J: Salman Khan, T: Rajesh Narredu) ran a game race to finish second in 1:10.844, staying on strongly but unable to overhaul the winner. Winter Agenda (J: N. B. Kuldeep, T: Vinesh V Naik) took third in a close finish, clocking 1:10.862, with the top three separated by mere fractions of a second.
With Knotty Blush’s triumph still resonating, attention now turns to the highlight of the day — The Mysore 2000 Guineas 2025 (Grade III), set to start at 04:00 PM, promising a spectacle of speed, skill, and strategy at the Monsoon meeting.
