The Bangalore Summer Meeting’s opening day on Friday, 01 May 2026, gathered momentum with Race 5, The International Labour Day Trophy, a maiden contest for three-year-olds over 1100 metres at 05:00 PM. In what will stand out in the Bangalore race result 1May highlights, Deep Respect (J: Suraj Narredu) delivered a sharp and decisive performance to claim victory in 1:08.61. Trained by S. Narredu, the winner carried the colours of Mr Daulat Chhabria, Mr Teja Gollapudi, Dr Prabhakar Chowdary Tripuraneni, and Mr Ashok Ranpise, rewarding connections with a polished maiden success.
The race unfolded at a brisk early pace, with the field tightly bunched through the initial furlongs.

Once angled into clear running, the colt responded instantly, quickening smartly to assert authority and hold off late challengers with a measure of control.
Legacy Field (J: Akshay Kumar, T: Prasanna Kumar) ran a commendable race to finish second in 1:08.71, staying on strongly but unable to bridge the final gap. Burevestnik (J: P. Trevor, T: S.S. Attaollahi) secured third place in 1:08.95, closing steadily to complete the frame in a competitive finish.
With this sprint contest wrapped up, the spotlight now shifts to the upcoming The Usha Stud Plate at 05:30 PM, where the tempo of the evening promises to rise further.
