Racing enthusiasts can expect a narrative of speed, stamina, and strategy unfolding across the afternoon.
The Afternoon Begins with Maiden Hopefuls
The opener, The Fleet Indian Plate, sets the stage at 2:00 pm. This 1200m maiden for three-year-olds has drawn promising contenders such as Always For You under Hindu Singh for trainer C.D. Monnappa and Flash Back with S. Imran in the saddle for J. Ganesh. Adena, Miss Sultana, and Theia also bring depth to the field, offering fans a glimpse of tomorrow’s stars in the making.
The momentum carries into The Eclipse Plate at 2:30 pm, restricted to Class V contenders. The line-up includes Bold and Beautiful, saddled by A.A. Vikrant for Bipin V. Salvi, while Flamingo Dream under V.R. Jagdeesh looks a lively player for S. Inayathulla. The presence of Armament, Jannat, and Recreator ensures a competitive dash down the Mysore straight.
Middle Card Battles and Rising Stakes
The third contest, The Kasargod Plate (Div II), over 1400m, introduces a Class IV field at 3:00 pm. Among the names, Sira guided by Abhishek Mhatre for M. Eshwer and Pledge partnered with ace rider P. Trevor for Darius Byramji catch the eye. Phoenix Gold and Noble Pursuit add intrigue, setting the tone for a balanced encounter.
One of the highlights of the day, The Dr. M.A.M. Ramaswamy Trophy, follows at 3:30 pm over a mile. This Class III feature carries prestige as much as prize money, with Aashirvad for Monnappa and Magic Circle for Salvi among the front-runners. Natural Light, Natural Tornado, and Like My Child also enter the fray, making this contest a pivotal point of the afternoon. Historically, this race has been known to produce future Mysore champions.
The Prestige of the Nanaiah Memorial
By 4:00 pm, anticipation will peak for The B.A. Nanaiah Memorial Trophy, a Class II race over 1400m. Heroism under Faiz for Monnappa brings strong claims, while Irish Coffee with L. Alex Rozario offers a bold challenge. Crosswater from the Arjun Mangalorkar yard and the seasoned Shershaah for Himanshu add further dimension. With ₹7,00,000 at stake, this race is expected to be fiercely contested, often seen as a stepping stone to higher-grade company.
Closing Stages and the Fair Wood Plate
The penultimate contest, The Kasargod Plate (Div I), at 4:30 pm, features Double Vision for Shoban Babu and Palma under C. Umesh for Darius Byramji. Perfect Attitude and Walter could also attract late money, given their recent consistency in Class IV company.
The evening concludes with The Fair Wood Plate at 5:00 pm. A Class III 1400m event, it offers a fitting finale with Havelock Cruise for G.T. Surender and Sir Calculus under Abhishek Mhatre among the leading contenders. Mystic Divine for Monnappa and Planet Super for Salvi ensure a wide-open field. The final dash under Mysore’s fading light promises to leave punters on edge until the winning post.
