The competitive action during the Mumbai Meeting 2025/26, Seventeenth Day on Sunday, 15 March 2026, reached a notable highlight with Race 3 – The Shapoorji Pallonji Breeders’ Juvenile Colts’ Championship (Grade III), a terms contest for Indian colts and geldings aged three years run over 1600 metres at 04:50 PM.
Delivering a polished performance, D’Artagnan (J: Vivek G.) emerged victorious for trainer P. Shroff, securing the prestigious juvenile prize in fine style for the ownership partnership of Mr & Mrs Vijay B Shirke & Mr Jay V Shirke rep Horse Haven Breeding and Racing Private Limited, Mr & Mrs Farouq K Rattonsey rep Hyperion Bloodstock Pvt Ltd, Mr Mehernosh H Deboo, Mrs Liane Luthria, Mr Milan Luthria & Mrs Daisy K D B Mehta & Mr Darashaw Keki Mehta rep Darashaw Racing & Breeding Private Limited.
The latest Mumbai race result 15 March underlined the strength of the juvenile division this season, with D’Artagnan stamping his authority over the field with a well-judged effort. Settled comfortably through the early stages, Vivek G. allowed the colt to travel smoothly behind the leaders before gradually improving position approaching the bend. Once into the straight, the Shroff-trained runner lengthened stride impressively, asserting control in the closing stages to seal a confident victory.
Enrich (J: Yash Narredu, T: M. Narredu) kept the winner within range throughout the contest and finished a determined second after a steady chase in the final furlong. Alexios (J: A. Sandesh, T: Sanjay Kolse) produced a respectable late effort to secure third place, ensuring the minor placings were keenly contested among the promising juveniles.
With the colts’ championship decided, attention now turns to the next juvenile feature of the afternoon, The Forbes Breeders’ Juvenile Fillies’ Championship (Grade III), scheduled for 05:15 PM, where another exciting contest is expected to unfold on the Mumbai card.
