The Calcutta Races, Autumn Meeting – Sixth Day (Sunday, 23rd November 2025) opened with intense early action in Race Number 1 – THE BERGAMO HANDICAP, a Class V contest for horses rated 1–26, run over 1400 metres at 01:00 PM. In a powerful display of grit and race sense, LINEUPANDCOLLECT (J: Vishal N Bunde) surged to a well-earned victory for trainer Sabeel Shariff, carrying the colours of owner Mr Faiz Adam and stopping the clock at 1:28.001.
In a snapshot of the Calcutta race result November 23, racegoers witnessed an impressive opening test that set the pace for a competitive afternoon.
From the jump, the pace unfolded steadily as the field settled early before tightening around the final bend. LINEUPANDCOLLECT travelled confidently in striking range, waiting for the final turn to unleash a determined stretch run. When asked for effort by Bunde, the five-year-old chestnut gelding responded sharply, accelerating inside the final 200 metres and asserting control despite sustained pressure from the chasing pack.
MADE IN HEAVEN (J: M Mark, T: Rutherford Alford) fought hard to challenge the leader but ultimately settled for second, finishing in 1:28.777 after staying close throughout the home stretch. Stable support came from HERMES (J: Antony Raj S., T: Rutherford Alford), who followed strongly to finish third in 1:29.185, completing a competitive top-three result influenced by narrow margins and late surges.
Attention now turns to THE VIBRANT HANDICAP DIV I, scheduled for 01:30 PM, promising another gripping contest as the day’s racing momentu builds.
