The race-day at RWITC came to an end with the Hornby Vellard Million, a fast-paced 1000-meter dash that lived up to its billing. With the sun dipping low over the historic Mahalaxmi Racecourse, SHIRSA delivered the perfect finish.
Ridden with precision by S G Prasad and trained by Sangramsinh N Joshi, SHIRSA showed electric speed down the straight, stopping the clock at 0:57.915 and justifying odds of 7. The win handed connections a well-deserved Rs.7,05,000, from the Rs.15,00,000 total prize pool.
DIVINE STAR, the tote-favourite at odds of 1.40, came in a strong second under top jockey A Sandesh, trained by Aman Altaf Hussain, with a timing of 0:58.453. MOJO, piloted by P Trevor for Faisal A Abbas, was not far behind, finishing third in 0:58.514, with eight odds, and closing out what was a thrilling contest right to the wire.
As the dust settles on the turf and the grandstand falls quiet, with the Hornby Vellard Million, the new race day awaits to come on April 6th 2025, with great finishes, and continued brilliance, making tomorrow’s event a must-watch!
