The Mumbai race result 8 February narrative gathered pace at 3:00 PM on Sunday as Race 2, The Mathradas Goculdas Trophy, a Class I contest over 1400 metres, took centre stage on Special Race Day at the Mumbai Meeting 2025/26, and it was Ultimo who delivered a performance of real authority. Trained by P. S. Chouhan and partnered by Neeraj Rawal, Ultimo ran out a decisive winner for owners Ms Rajesh Monga & Manav Monga, stopping the clock at 1:22:046 to underline his quality at this level.
Settled into a smooth rhythm early, Ultimo travelled strongly through the middle stages as the field sorted itself out around the turn. Rawal produced his mount with perfect timing in the straight, and once asked to lengthen, Ultimo responded willingly, quickening clear to assert control in the final furlong and seal the verdict with something in hand.
Market King finished second after a determined effort under Vivek G. for trainer Imtiaz A. Sait, keeping on resolutely to chase the winner home. Irish Gold, guided by P. Trevor and trained by Dallas Todywalla, stayed on well to secure third, completing a competitive top three in a strongly run renewal.
With The Mathradas Goculdas Trophy decided, attention now turns to the Nadir & Yawar Rashid Trophy at 3:30 PM, as the Mumbai card continues to build towards its headline moments.
