The opening contest of the Bangalore Summer Meeting on Friday, 01 May 2026 at Bangalore Turf Club, saw Zayana deliver a composed and effective performance to land Race 1, The Camino Plate Div II, a Class V event for horses rated 00 to 25 over 1200 metres at 03:00 PM. In what shaped up as an encouraging Bangalore race result 1May, Zayana (J: Pavan) justified support with a well-timed run, clocking 1:14.56 for trainer Irfan Ghatala and owners M/s Arun Alagappan Racing LLP & Sans Craintes Stud Farm [p] Ltd.
The race unfolded at an honest early pace, with a cluster of runners vying for early advantage before settling into rhythm. Zayana travelled comfortably just off the leaders, conserving energy while the front-runners began to feel the pressure approaching the final furlong. Once asked for an effort, Pavan guided Zayana into the clear, and the filly responded fluently, quickening past rivals with authority to seal the contest in the closing strides.
Mystical Queen (J: Asirvatham, T: Azhar Ali) ran a game race to finish second in 1:14.93, staying on steadily but unable to match the winner’s finishing burst. Embosom (J: V.R. Jagadeesh, T: V. Lokanath) took third place in 1:16.23, plugging on late to secure a place on the podium.
With the curtain-raiser concluded, attention now shifts to the next event on the card, The Epsom Plate Div II at 03:30 PM, where another competitive field awaits.
