In a commanding performance during the fourth race of the day, Bishop triumphed in The S. G. Madhukar Memorial Trophy, a 1400-meter contest for horses rated 40 to 65. Ridden with precision by A. Prakash and trained by the seasoned P. Shroff, Bishop displayed tactical brilliance and seamless coordination to secure a memorable win at the Bangalore Turf Club.
With Rs. 6,30,000 in total prize money up for grabs, the race attracted a competitive field, but Bishop stood tall with a well-timed run that saw him surge ahead of the pack in the final 300 meters. The partnership between A. Prakash and P. Shroff proved pivotal, combining patience with a powerful finishing burst to seal the deal.
Finishing second was Laguna Seca, guided by Hindu Singh and trained by Vijay Singh. The runner-up showed tenacity throughout but was unable to match Bishop’s acceleration when it mattered most.
Claiming the third spot was the consistent Prokofiev, piloted by P. Trevor and trained by Prasanna Kumar. The gelding kept on resolutely to round off the top three in what was a closely fought finish behind the winner.
Bishop’s performance not only delivered a fourth race win for the day’s card but also underscored the strong form of the P. Shroff stable, which has already made headlines earlier in the afternoon.
Up next is the eagerly anticipated Benaka Developers Karnataka Juvenile Million, a high-stakes 1400-meter contest offering Rs. 23,40,000 in prize money.
