The spotlight firmly rested on the fourth race of the MYSORE (MONSOON) RACES 2025 on Friday, 12th September, as the prestigious F.K. Irani Memorial Million (1200 m, Terms for 3-year-olds) unfolded at 4:00 PM. Rising to the occasion, Splendid Dream (J: Shreyas Singh, T: S S Attaollahi) stormed to a commanding victory, stopping the clock at 1:10.068. Carrying the silks of DT Racing & Breeding LLP represented by Mr D. R. Thacker, the gelding produced a career-defining run to claim the feature race of the day in dazzling fashion.
From the jump, the field broke sharply, with Splendid Dream settling just off the early leader before creeping closer around the bend. As they straightened up, Shreyas Singh urged his forward with perfect timing. Showing both composure and acceleration, Splendid Dream surged clear inside the final furlong, her rhythmic strides leaving the chasing pack to fight for the minor placings.
Magnetar (J: Akshay Kumar, T: Aravind G.) gave earnest chase but had to settle for second, finishing in 1:10.440 after being prominent throughout. Midnight Blue (J: Antony Raj S., T: Rajesh Narredu) closed late to take third in 1:11.735, rounding off a quality podium in this fiercely contested juvenile clash.
With the echoes of applause still lingering, anticipation now builds for the upcoming M.W. Chinnappa Memorial Trophy, scheduled next at 4:30 PM, promising another enthralling contest on this action-packed Mysore card.
