Race 3 at the Royal Western India Turf Club, Mumbai Meeting 2025/26 (Eighth Day) on Sunday, 18 January 2026, brought depth and intrigue to the afternoon as Endurance landed The Jayaramdas Patel Gold Trophy, a Class III contest for Indian horses rated 40 to 66 (20 to 39 eligible), run over 2000 metres at 3:00 PM. In a performance that neatly summed up the Mumbai race result 18 January, Endurance delivered with authority for trainer Imtiaz A. Sait, guided confidently by Yash Narredu, and carrying the colours of the Estate of late Homi Mehta, Mrs Homi Mehta, Mr Jehangir Mehta, Mrs Liane Luthria and Mr Milan Luthria, stopping the clock at 2:04:152.
Settled into a smooth rhythm through the early stages, Endurance travelled kindly as the field sorted itself out over the first half of the journey. Yash Narredu allowed his mount to build momentum approaching the final bend, and once asked to quicken, Endurance lengthened decisively, asserting control in the straight and finding extra when challenged to seal the verdict with a measured yet decisive surge.
Exuma finished second under David Allan for trainer M. K. Jadhav, keeping the winner honest through the closing stages, while Break Point, partnered by Akshay Kumar and trained by P. S. Chouhan, stayed on resolutely to claim third. The placings underlined the competitiveness of the Class III field, with the principals separating themselves late after an evenly run contest.
With The Jayaramdas Patel Gold Trophy settled, attention at Mahalaxmi now turns swiftly to the next event on the card, The P. R. Mehta Trophy, scheduled for 3:30 PM, as the Mumbai afternoon continues to build toward its feature moments.
