The action-packed 2nd race of the Madras Races 2025-2026, held on Friday, 10th October 2025, saw a fiercely contested Class IV event – The Super Brave Handicap run over 1600 metres at 2:45 PM. Rising above a competitive field, Refreshment (J: Antony Raj S., T: Prasanna Kumar) delivered a composed yet commanding victory, clocking 1:39.267. Racing in the silks of Mr K. Kaliyaperumal, Mr P. Prasanna Kumar, Mr K. Manoj Kumar, Mr K. Kamesh, Mr Dean Stephens, and Mr Balam Mohla, the filly displayed both balance and stamina in a performance that delighted connections and punters alike.
Breaking smartly from the gates, Refreshment settled mid-pack through the early stages before Antony Raj S. produced a well-judged move approaching the final bend. With a powerful surge down the home stretch, the Prasanna Kumar-trained runner asserted her dominance inside the last furlong, repelling late challenges to secure a fluent win and mark a strong return to form.
Absolute Katrina (J: R. N. Darshan, T: Joseph B. Awale) ran a game second in 1:39.844, keeping the winner honest until the wire, while Thrill of Brazil (J: Mukesh Kumar, T: Md Sajid Qureshi) stayed on resolutely to claim third in 1:39.904, ensuring a tightly packed finish among the top trio.
With The Super Brave Handicap settled in impressive fashion, excitement now builds for the next contest on the card — The Adler Handicap (03:15 PM).
