The excitement peaked on the 4th day of the Bangalore Winter Meeting (Saturday, 22 November 2025) as Race Number 6 – The Spark of Gold Trophy, a Class II contest for horses rated 60 to 85, unfolded over 1200 metres at 04:30 PM. As part of the Bangalore race result November 22 card, RIEKO rose to the occasion with confidence and authority, delivering a sensational performance under Suraj Narredu and stopping the clock at 1:11.72 to secure a memorable victory for trainer Pradeep Annaiah and owner Mr. P. Arun Kumar.
Displaying explosive acceleration inside the final furlong, RIEKO tracked the leaders patiently before launching a decisive turn of foot that left rivals struggling to respond. Suraj timed the surge with perfection, guiding the 4-year-old bay gelding powerfully through the closing stages to clinch a commanding win and ignite celebrations across the stands.
The battle for the minor positions unfolded dramatically behind the winner, where DEL AVIZ—piloted by Antony Raj S. and trained by S.S. Attaollahi—claimed second place with a finishing time of 1:12.19, staying on gamely but unable to threaten the flying winner. Close behind, stablemate REGAL REALITY, ridden by P. Trevor for trainer S.S. Attaollahi, clocked 1:12.25 to grab third after a determined late effort.
With the trophy decided and excitement reverberating across the racecourse, attention now turns toward the upcoming feature events of the afternoon, promising another thrilling chapter in the winter racing season at Bangalore.
