The seventh race of the day at the Kolkata races on Friday, 3rd April 2026, saw Cash N Run deliver a decisive performance to capture The Cupid Handicap Div I, a Class III sprint over 1200 metres. Clocking an authoritative run under Suraj Narredu, the Sabeel Shariff-trained runner, owned by Mr Koushik Dutta, asserted his class in the 5:00 PM contest. The result added another notable chapter to the day’s Kolkata race result 3 March narrative, reflecting the competitive depth of the sprint division.
Breaking well and settling into a handy position early, Cash N Run travelled smoothly behind the pace before being asked for an effort approaching the final furlong. Responding gamely, the gelding quickened impressively to take command and keep his challengers at bay, showcasing both tactical speed and finishing strength that proved too much for the field.
Three Little Words (J: Neeraj Rawal, T: Rutherford Alford) finished second after making a sustained bid in the straight, while Whirlwind (J: Shezad Khan, T: Vijay Singh) stayed on to claim third. The trio fought out the finish with determination, though the winner always appeared to have matters under control in the closing stages.
