The Mumbai race result 21 December delivered a polished staying performance in Race 7, The Gracias Saldanha Memorial Million, a Class III contest for Indian Horses rated 40 to 66, run over 2000 metres at the Royal Western India Turf Club on Sunday, 21st December 2025, with the race going off at 3:45 PM. Tiepolo produced a commanding effort under P. Trevor to land the feature for trainer P. Shroff, stopping the clock at 2:00:497.
The winner carried the colours of Mr & Mrs Vijay B Shirke, Mr Jay V Shirke, Mr K N Dhunjibhoy, Mr Z K Dhunjibhoy & Ms Anosha Meyers (rep. Five Stars Shipping Co Pvt Ltd), Ms Anita J Captain, Mr Vispi R Patel & Mr A S Narielwala, underlining the strength of an elite ownership lineup.
Settled smoothly through the early stages, Tiepolo travelled with authority as the field sorted itself out down the backstretch. P. Trevor timed the move to perfection, asking the colt to lengthen stride approaching the final bend. Once balanced in the straight, Tiepolo responded willingly, quickening clear and asserting control inside the final furlong to score decisively in a race that demanded both stamina and tactical judgement.
The runner-up honours went to King Ke (J: Oisin Murphy, T: P. Shroff), who stayed on gamely to secure second, while Endurance (J: Antony Raj S., T: Imtiaz A. Sait) finished on resolutely to take third place. The placings reflected a competitive renewal, with the top three well clear of the remainder at the finish.
With The Gracias Saldanha Memorial Million now in the books, attention at Mahalaxmi swiftly turns to the day’s centrepiece, the Indian 2000 Guineas (Grade 1), scheduled to be run at 4:15 PM, promising another high-quality chapter in the Mumbai racing calendar.
