The HYDERABAD WINTER RACES 2025-2026 (5th Day, Monday, March 23, 2026) gathered pace with Race 3, The Osman Sagar Plate Div I, a Class IV handicap for horses aged four years and upward rated 20 to 45, run over a sharp 1100 metres at 04:05 PM. In a decisive sprinting effort, Petra Act (J: Mukesh Kumar) delivered a polished performance to claim top honours for trainer Magan Singh Parmar, racing in the silks of M/s Boppidi Sham Sunder Reddy, Chandrasekhar Reddy Challuri, Srinivasa Rao Thota & Venkata Krishna Reddy Challuri. The Hyderabad race result 22 March narrative continues to underline competitive sprint finishes across the card.
Breaking well from the gates, Petra Act was positioned prominently from the outset, with Mukesh Kumar keeping the mare balanced just off the early pace. As the field straightened for home, Petra Act responded smartly when asked, quickening with purpose inside the final furlong and asserting authority over the chasing pack. The timely burst ensured the contest was put beyond doubt in the closing strides.
Clarity (J: Ajay Kumar, T: Laxman Singh) finished a commendable second after staying on steadily through the final stages, while Briar Ridge (J: Surya Prakash, T: S. Sreekanth) ran on late to secure third, keeping the pressure on but unable to bridge the gap to the winner.
With this sprint feature wrapped up, the focus now shifts to the upcoming The Sea Bird Plate, scheduled for 04:35 PM, where another competitive field is set to line up.
