The Pune Race Club 11 October 2025 meeting arrives with all the ingredients of a classic Saturday card — elite thoroughbreds, tactical jockeyship, and an October atmosphere buzzing with anticipation. Across six races, fans can expect a masterclass in timing and temperament as Pune’s turf comes alive between 2:45 and 5:15 PM.
The Opening Dash – Severus Plate (Class V, 1400m, ₹5,00,000)
The afternoon begins at 2:45 pm with the Severus Plate, where Lord Murphy (Antony Raj S / Shazaan Shah) looks well-prepared to lead from the front. He faces stiff competition from Magical Star (A. Sandesh / P. S. Chouhan) and Zarkan (D. R. Shubham / S. Waheed). Continental Drift (Santosh G / Adhirajsingh Jodha) may fancy the longer stretch, while Coin Empress (Mustakim Alam / Narendra Lagad) and Baleno (Bhawani Singh / Karthik Ganapathy) will keep the pace honest. Taabiir (P. Trevor / Subhag Singh) remains the dark horse capable of striking late.
Midfield Class – N.K. Pudumjee Salver (Class II, 1600m, ₹12,00,000)
A test of class and composure at 3:15 pm, the N.K. Pudumjee Salver brings top milers to the fore. Regal Command (Bhawani Singh / Karthik Ganapathy) commands attention with his smooth galloping style, while Christofle (P. Trevor / P. Shroff) brings the polish of an established contender. The Millennium Force (A. Sandesh / P. S. Chouhan) could spring a surprise if the early pace is genuine. Coeur De Lion (A. Prakash / Narendra Lagad) and Alpine Star (Mustakim Alam / Narendra Lagad) add depth to the field, with Bubbly Boy (Aditya Waydande / Shazaan Shah) expected to stay on gamely in the final furlong.
Speed and Precision – Pissarro Plate (Class III, 1000m, ₹6,50,000)
Over the Pune sprint track at 3:45 pm, timing is everything. Sovereign Master (T. S. Jodha / Nazzak B. Chenoy) brings raw pace to the Pissarro Plate, while Lord Eric (P. Trevor / Dallas Todywalla) promises a late challenge. Elusive Art (Ramswarup / Adhirajsingh Jodha) and Abhicandra (Aditya Waydande / Sanjay Kolse) will aim to pressure from the gates. Stablemates Aperol (C. S. Jodha / Adhirajsingh Jodha) and Azure (Antony Raj S / Imtiaz A. Sait) could dictate the race tempo if allowed an uncontested lead.
Young Stars Rise – Panchshil Million (3 years old, 1000m, ₹15,00,000)
Three-year-olds at 4:15 pm, take centre stage in the Panchshil Million, a showcase of emerging talent and racing ambition. Don Julio (P. Trevor / Rehanullah Khan) headlines after a series of impressive trials, but All For Love (Yash Narredu / M. Narredu) carries both family pride and form into the race. Majesticus (C. Umesh / Narendra Lagad) looks capable of improving sharply, while Jaisalmer (P. Vikram / Adhirajsingh Jodha) brings experience to the field. The Faisal Abbas-trained pair — Aeon Flux (K. Nazil) and Ensky (Amyn Merchant) — add balance to what promises to be a thrilling finish.
Endurance Test – Sir Sultan Chinoy Trophy (Class IV, 1800m, ₹5,50,000)
At 4:45 pm, middle-distance performers step up in the Sir Sultan Chinoy Trophy. Dedication (Ramswarup / Shazaan Shah) has been consistent and could dictate the early fractions. Juracan (A. Sandesh / P. S. Chouhan) and Luca (C. Umesh / J. E. McKeown) bring staying form, while Little John (Antony Raj S / Dallas Todywalla) may prove a solid chaser. Abhyankar (Yash Narredu / M. Narredu), Beyond Stars (Mukesh Kumar / S. Waheed), and Dreamer (N. S. Parmar / M. K. Jadhav) ensure there’s no shortage of late chargers in this testing trip.
The Grand Finale – Suresh Mahindra Trophy (Class I, 3200m, ₹12,00,000)
The final race of the day at 5:15 pm, the Suresh Mahindra Trophy, is a true test of stamina over two miles. Evaldo (P. Trevor / Aman Altaf Hussain) thrives over staying distances and will relish this challenge. Golden Kingdom (Antony Raj S / Adhirajsingh Jodha) and Queen of Kings (Yash Narredu / Rajesh Narredu) are formidable rivals capable of stretching him all the way. Expect a battle of nerve and endurance in this marathon finish — the kind Pune fans love to witness under the fading October light.
The Pune Race Club 11 October 2025 meeting mirrors the sport’s enduring spirit — a celebration of precision, power, and partnership. With leading trainers like Narendra Lagad, Adhirajsingh Jodha, and Shazaan Shah fielding multiple runners, and jockeys such as P. Trevor, A.
