Interestingly, the eight-race Sunday card turned out to be unique in the sense half the races were won by strongly fancied favourites, and the other half were won by long shots ranging from 10-to-1 to 20-to-1

Eight-year-old Flying Visit, the oldest horse in the fray, tricked his relatively younger rivals in the R N Kanga Trophy, the feature event of Sunday`s eight-race evening card at the Mahalaxmi racetrack. Trained by Imtiaz Sait, Flying Visit, who had finished three lengths behind Count Of Savoy in last run, registered dramatic improvement in form in the hands of jockey Bhawani Singh.
Jockey A Sandesh took the Malesh Narredu-trained Count Of Savoy, who shared favouritism jointly with the K Nazil ridden In Contention, on a start-to-finish mission. And just when the horse-jockey pair looked set for an easy victory as Count Of Savoy stretched out nicely racing towards the wire, Bhawani Singh astride Flying Visit came up with a flourish and decisively surged ahead. The K H Vachcha-owned horse ran friendless at 20/1.
