The Friday afternoon spectacle at the Pune Racecourse, part of the Pune Meeting 2025 Special Race Day (October 24, 2025), came alive in the 4th Race – The Shamu Chavan Salver Div II, a Class IV contest for Indian horses rated 20 to 46 (0 to 19 eligible) run over 1600 metres. Under a confident ride from jockey Mustakim Alam, Come September stormed home for trainer Narendra Lagad, clocking 1:38:348 in a measured yet decisive finish for Begum Shaherbanoo Husain Lagad & Mr Deepak S Sharma, adding another memorable triumph to the yard’s growing list of Pune Races 2025 successes.
Breaking smartly and settling mid-pack early on, Come September conserved energy through the backstretch before Mustakim Alam unleashed a well-timed challenge in the final furlong. The filly displayed a sharp turn of foot when it mattered most, surging past the early leaders and holding his momentum right to the post, drawing appreciative applause from the Pune Racecourse stands.
The ever-consistent Duesenberg (J: C. Umesh, T: P. Shroff) fought bravely to finish second in 1:38:493, staying in close pursuit of the winner through the final 200 metres. Sands of Dubai (J: Santosh G., T: Adhirajsingh Jodha) followed in third, timing 1:40:056, completing a competitive trifecta that kept the crowd engaged throughout the mile.
With this gripping contest concluded, anticipation now builds for the next feature — The P. Hadow Trophy, scheduled at 3:30 PM, promising another round of high-class equine action at the Pune turf.
