The concluding race of the day at the Bangalore Turf Club—the Manjri Stud Plate—provided a fitting finale to an action-packed Saturday card. Reserved for horses rated 40 to 65 and aged five years and above, this 1200-meter handicap was flagged off at 5:00 PM and carried a purse of ₹630,000.
Delivering a dramatic finish in a blanket conclusion was MAZAL TOV, piloted confidently by Antony Raj S and saddled by Neil B. Devaney. The gelding timed his run to perfection in 1:13.11, darting between runners and clinching the victory in a close photo-finish that had the crowd holding their breath.
Pushing the winner all the way was DYNAMIC FORCE in 1:13.35, trained by Joseph B. Awale and ridden by K. Sai Kiran. The gelding produced a resolute challenge and momentarily looked the winner but was narrowly denied in the final strides, settling for a hard-fought second.
Taking the third spot by timing in 1:13.63 was GIMMLER, guided by veteran jockey Imran Chisty and trained by Rutherford Alford. The gelding stayed on gamely to secure a spot on the podium, maintaining his consistent form.
The Manjri Stud Plate brought the curtain down on a competitive seven-race card, marked by close contests and commanding performances. As the sun sets on this racing day, attention now shifts to Sunday, June 8th, 2025, when BTC hosts an eight-race program beginning at 1:30 PM, with the final event scheduled for 5:00 PM. Racing fans can look forward to another exhilarating day at the track.
