Doctor Dolly (A. Sandesh for Faisal A. Abbas) pressed hard but had to settle for second, a length and a half behind, while Treat (Neeraj Rawal/Imtiaz A. Sait) finished a further thirteen lengths adrift in third. Kimiko with Antony Raj in the saddle for Karthik Ganapathy filled the fourth spot, while Eaton Square failed to finish.
The winner, a chestnut colt by Leitir Mor (IRE) out of Shane (GER), races in the silks of Mr. Mehernosh H. Deboo & Mrs. Auzita M. Deboo and was bred at Chester Stud & Agri Farm. Tote favourite status was fully justified as Superstar showed staying power when it mattered most.
The next contest, The Pune Times Mirror Trophy scheduled for 3:25 pm, stands out as the highlight of today’s Special Race Day.
