The fourth race on the card, The Green Sari Handicap, provided a polished highlight at the Calcutta Races, Spring Meeting, First Day, Saturday, 7th February, 2026, as Xanthe delivered a composed and authoritative success. Run at 3:30 PM over 1400 metres, the Class III handicap for horses rated 41–66 (rated 21–46 eligible) formed a key part of the afternoon’s narrative, with this Kolkata race result 7 February underlining the depth and competitiveness of the mid-card contests. Racing in the colours of Mr C Aryama Sundaram, Xanthe was expertly handled by P. Trevor and prepared to perfection by S.S. Attaollahi, asserting decisively when it mattered most.
Settled into a comfortable rhythm through the early stages, Xanthe travelled sweetly under restraint before being gradually asked to improve approaching the home turn. Once angled out into clear running, the response was immediate. The filly lengthened smoothly, quickened clear inside the final furlong, and maintained control to the line, showcasing both tactical speed and finishing resolve.
The runner-up honours went to Cash N Run (J: Vishal N Bunde, T: Sabeel Shariff), who stayed on gamely after being kept in touch throughout, while Victorious Omen (J: Imran Chisty, T: S. Waheed) finished with purpose to secure third, ensuring a competitive and well-fought finish among the principals.
With The Green Sari Handicap settled, focus now shifts swiftly to the next big attraction on the programme — The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Cup (Grade III) at 4:00 PM, a feature expected to further raise the tempo as the Calcutta afternoon builds toward its climax.
