The competitive Race 5 – The Indian Navy Trophy, a Class IV contest for Indian horses rated 20 to 46 (4 years old only, 0–19 eligible) over 1400 metres, was run at 07:00 PM during the Mumbai Meeting 2025/26 – Fifteenth Day on Saturday, 7 March 2026. Producing a confident performance, Manwar powered home under Akshay Kumar to secure victory for trainer P. S. Chouhan, stopping the clock at 1:22:530. The winner races in the colours of Mr Marthand Singh Mahindra & Mrs Rina Mahindra, who were rewarded with a well-judged triumph in a tightly contested field. This Mumbai race result 7 March added another noteworthy chapter to the evening’s competitive programme at the Mahalaxmi track.
Settled comfortably through the early stages, Manwar travelled strongly behind the pace before being brought into contention approaching the final bend. Once asked for an effort in the straight, Akshay Kumar produced the colt at the right moment, and the response was immediate. Manwar lengthened stride impressively in the final furlong, asserting authority over his rivals and drawing clear to seal the race in convincing fashion.
Undercover, ridden by Yash Narredu and trained by Faisal A. Abbas, stayed on gamely to finish second, keeping the winner within reach through the stretch but unable to bridge the gap in the closing stages. Agatha, partnered by Vivek G. for trainer Bezan Chenoy, ran a steady race to secure third place and complete the frame in a competitive renewal.
With The Indian Navy Trophy concluded, attention now turns to the next contest on the card — The 1805 Trophy, scheduled for 07:30 PM, where another intriguing clash awaits racegoers.
