The Christmas Meeting’s opening afternoon at Calcutta Racecourse came alive as Race 3 — The Xisca Handicap (Div I), a Class IV sprint for horses rated 21–46 (rated 1–26 eligible) — unfolded over 1200m at 1:30 PM. On this Saturday, 6th December 2025, Chililady produced a sharp, confidence-filled performance to secure a decisive victory for trainer Shafiq Khan, with Md Sameer in the saddle. Racing in the colours of Mr Rustom E. Daroga & Mr Chandeep Singh Walia, the filly stopped the clock at 1:13.127, stamping her authority early in the card. As enthusiasts scanned the Calcutta Race Result 6 December updates, this win immediately stood out for its precision and poise.
From the jump, Chililady showed urgency without overexertion, settling into a rhythm that kept her well within striking distance of the early pace. As the field straightened for home, she shifted gears smoothly, lengthening her stride and drawing clear inside the final 150m.
