The fifth race of the day at the Hyderabad Winter Races 2025–2026 on Monday, March 23, delivered a true staying test with The Golconda St. Leger (Grade II), a terms race for horses aged five years and above run over a demanding 2800 metres at 05:05 PM. DYF (J: P.

In what will go down as a highlight of the Hyderabad race result 22 March card, the contest unfolded at a measured early pace before building into a true test of stamina in the final mile. DYF was settled well within striking distance through the backstretch, with P. Trevor biding his time before gradually improving position approaching the final bend. Once into the straight, DYF lengthened stride impressively, asserting authority in the closing stages to outstay the field with a decisive finishing effort.
RAMIEL (J: Antony Raj S., T: Bharath Singh) kept on gamely to secure the runner-up position, staying on resolutely behind the winner, while GET LUCKY (J: Mukesh Kumar, T: K. Satheesh) finished third after battling on in the long home stretch. The stamina-laden contest ensured clear separation among the leading trio by the finish.
With the staying feature concluded, attention now turns to the upcoming The Dream Girl Plate, where another competitive field is set to keep the Hyderabad racing action rolling.
