The Mumbai racing action gathered momentum in Race 4, The Beautiful Stranger Trophy, a Class II contest for horses rated 60 to 86, run over 1400 metres at 02:15 PM on Sunday, 21st December 2025, during the Royal Western India Turf Club’s Mumbai Meeting 2025/26. In a performance that stood out on the Mumbai race result 21 December card, Earth delivered a controlled and authoritative victory under Ramswarup, landing the spoils for trainer Sanjay Kolse and owner Mr Vikram Bachhawat rep Bachhawat Farms Pvt Ltd.
Settled into a comfortable rhythm through the early stages, Earth travelled smoothly as the field began to sort itself out around the bend. Ramswarup timed the move to perfection, asking his mount to lengthen stride entering the straight, and Earth responded willingly. Once balanced and in full flow, the winner asserted clear superiority, drawing away late to seal the verdict with assurance.
The chase for minor honours saw Red Bishop (J: P. Trevor, T: P. Shroff) stay on resolutely to claim second, never quite able to bridge the gap but finishing well ahead of the rest. Opus Dei (J: Aditya Waydande, T: Imtiaz A. Sait) kept on steadily to secure third, completing a competitive top three in this well-matched Class II affair.
With The Beautiful Stranger Trophy decided, focus now shifts to the next attraction on the card, The Faiz Jasdanwalla Trophy, scheduled for 02:45 PM, as the Mumbai afternoon continues to build towards its later highlights.
