In a sharp burst of afternoon intensity at the Calcutta Races, CHRISTMAS MEETING FIRST DAY on Saturday, 6th December 2025, Race 5 — The Moon Emperor Cup (Class II, 1200m, horses rated 61–86; 41–66 eligible) delivered a performance worthy of headline billing. As part of the Calcutta Race Result 6 December coverage, Pluto stole the spotlight with a commanding run at 02:30 PM, stopping the clock at 1:11.915 for owners M/s Manjri Horse Breeders Farm Pvt Ltd, Mr Anil Saraf & Mr Deepesh Narredu.
Breaking cleanly and positioning himself perfectly behind the early pace, Pluto travelled with purpose throughout. Jockey Nikhil Naidu timed his move with precision, asking his mount to quicken at the 300m mark. Trainer Deepesh Narredu’s charge responded with an authoritative surge, sweeping past the leaders and sealing a confident victory in the day’s most emphatic display.
Behind the winner, Shine kept on gamely under Hindu Singh for trainer Vijay Singh, finishing second in 1:12.182 after staying in contention through the final furlong. Outlander, guided by R. Vaibhav and trained by Javed Khan, produced a late effort to secure third, clocking 1:12.236 in a close finish for the minor placings.
With The Moon Emperor Cup concluded, attention now turns to the afternoon’s feature attraction — The Calcutta 2000 Guineas (2025) (Grade II), scheduled for 03:00 PM and set to ignite the crowd once more.
