Hyderabad race result 5th Oct – THE RACE2WIN FOUNDATION HYDERABAD DECCAN DERBY (GRADE I): Mountain Jewel (Jockey Antony Raj S., Trainer Prasanna Kumar P.) claimed a thrilling victory at Hyderabad Race Club during the 2025 Monsoon Races, finishing the 2000-meter classic in 2:05.153 for owners Mr. Rajendran rep. Rapar’s Galloping Stars LLP and Mr. K. Kaliyaperumal.
From the break, Mountain Jewel played a waiting game — calm amid the storm. While the frontrunners battled fiercely in a pace-testing opening, jockey Antony Raj S. showcased tactical brilliance, allowing his filly to conserve energy in mid-pack. Then, with the crowd roaring and tension thick in the air, the moment arrived. Swinging wide into the final 400 meters, Mountain Jewel unleashed a lightning surge of acceleration, a move so explosive that it left rivals scrambling in his wake.
As the chestnut thundered down the home straight, there was no doubt—this was a champion’s run. He crossed the finish line with commanding authority, sealing his place among Hyderabad’s finest.
Behind him, Red Bishop (J: P. Trevor, T: P. Shroff) fought valiantly, finishing a heart-pounding second in 2:05.199, barely a stride away from glory. Northern Waves (J: Mukesh Kumar, T: G. Shashikanth) came thundering late to grab third in 2:06.444, showing courage but unable to match the searing pace of the top pair. The top trio were separated by mere lengths, a fitting testament to the intensity and prestige of this Grade I contest.
As the cheers echoed across the stands and the Derby crown rested firmly on Mountain Jewel’s brow, the electric atmosphere showed no signs of dimming. Up next, THE ROYAL CALCUTTA TURF CLUB CUP (DIV II) at 05:15 PM promised to keep the adrenaline surging — a perfect encore to Hyderabad’s Monsoon racing spectacle.
