The S.V. Subramaniam Memorial Trophy, a 1200-meter handicap for horses rated 60 and above. Carrying a purse of ₹7,00,000, the race delivered a pulsating sprint, with Pure For Sure emerging as the standout performer.
Trained by Vinesh V. Naik and ridden with authority by S. Antony Raj, Pure For Sure produced a fluent run in the final stages to seize the lead and draw clear of her rivals. Owned by Mrs. Preeti C. Shah & Mr. K.M. Shah, the mare completed the trip in 1:12.293, marking a convincing win.
Finishing second was Constant Variable, who chased the winner gamely throughout. The Fahad Khan-trained runner, partnered by C. Umesh, timed 1:13.004, but could not match the leader’s acceleration in the final meters.
Completing the frame was Pneuma, trained by Suraj Prasad Shaw and piloted by Aleemuddin, who ran on to finish third in 1:13.214. The top three placings reflected the competitive nature of the race, with little separating the contenders beyond the winner’s late kick.
With the S.V. Subramaniam Memorial Trophy wrapped up, the day’s penultimate race—the Ranibennur Plate—is now in focus. As the day’s action builds to a close, racegoers can expect more drama to unfold at Mysore.
