There was an eventful start to the feature event of Sunday`s Pune card, the JE Hughes Trophy for Class II horses: heavy showers began just before the race; and two horses, including the heavily backed favourite Miss American Pie, got withdrawn before the starter raised his flag, reducing the field of dozen to only ten runners. Ms Nazzak Chenoy-trained Ataash, who was well -supported in the betting ring, was given a vigorous ride by jockey Vishal Bunde to win the feature event authoritatively. Ataash is owned by the lady trainer`s mother Bakhtawar, in partnership with breeder Ms Ameeta Mehra of the Usha stud farm. Ms Nazzak was also the sole trainer to score a double on the Sunday card--she saddled Attained in the last race of the day, racing in the same silks as Ataash, whom jockey Antony Raj gave a powerful ride in the Atomic Prince Plate.
