The pace intensified on Day 15 of the Bangalore Summer Meeting as the third race of the afternoon, The Basque Plate Div II, unfolded over 1200 meters. This handicap for horses rated 20 to 45, offering a purse of ₹5,10,000, was flagged off at 3:00 PM and brought yet another sharp finish to the day’s action.
Stravinsky emerged a cut above the rest, surging ahead in the final strides to claim victory in 1:13.18. Piloted with precision by Angad and trained by Narayana Gowda V., the runner carried the silks of Mr. Anil K. Joseph and delivered a performance that left no doubt about his sprinting potential.
Chasing him home was Super Kind, ridden by C. A. Brisson for trainer Pradeep Annaiah, who stayed on gamely to finish second in 1:13.45, just a few lengths behind the winner.
The third spot went to Mega Success, with V. R. Jagadeesh in the saddle for trainer S. Inayathulla, clocking 1:14.15 to round off the frame.
With another competitive heat in the books and the railings remaining set at an average width of 5.0 meters, the momentum continues to build. The focus now shifts to the day’s next race, The D.M. Kumaraswamy Memorial Trophy, promising even more thrilling action at Bangalore.
