The feature sixth race of the CHRISTMAS MEETING FIRST DAY — The Calcutta 2000 Guineas (2025) (Grade II) — delivered a compelling chapter to the Calcutta Race Result 6 December narrative, as Arrived produced a polished and powerful performance over the 1600m contest for three-year-old Indian horses. Run at 3:00 PM, the classic saw Arrived, trained by Adhirajsingh Jodha and ridden with icy composure by M. S. Deora, surge home in 1:36.337 for an authoritative victory.
The colt carried the colours of a distinguished ownership syndicate comprising Gainsville Stud & Agrl Farm Pvt Ltd, Bachhawat Farms Pvt Ltd, Mr Haider Soomar, Mr Kishore Rungta, So Blest Trading Co Pvt Ltd, Mr Mukul A Sonawala, Mr Saleem Fazelbhoy, Phantom Racing LLP, Ms Ameeta Mehra and Mr Ajay K Arora, marking a proud moment for the connections.
Arrived settled beautifully through the early strides, keeping within striking range while the field set an even tempo. Deora waited until the top of the straight to angle his mount into clear running, and once asked, Arrived lengthened fluidly, asserting control with a measured but decisive burst. The final 200 metres showcased his class — a well-timed, confident run that left no doubt about the superiority of his finishing kick.
The runner-up honours went to Mahler, partnered by Hindu Singh for trainer S. S. Attaollahi, clocking 1:36.492 after staying committed in pursuit but unable to match the winner’s late acceleration. Superstar, ridden by A. Prakash and trained by P. Shroff, delivered a steady effort to finish third in 1:36.913, completing a closely matched top trio separated by fine margins.
With the Guineas result now etched into the afternoon’s storyline, attention turns quickly to the next event — The Aboline Handicap Div I, scheduled for 03:30 PM, promising another engaging contest as the CHRISTMAS MEETING continues.
