At the end of the mile-and-a-half Oaks distance, Jendayi was nine lengths ahead of her nearest rival--and this, after being a detached, long way last for most part of the trip. That should sum up the class, the fitness, and prowess and superiority the Pesi Shroff-trained Gleneagles - Monasada filly possesses. In the hands of Irishman Oisin Murphy, the property of Mr & Mrs Vijay Shirke, KN & ZK Dhunjibhoy and Ms Anita J Captain made clear it will be a folly to look beyond her in the forthcoming HPSL Indian Derby, scheduled for the first Sunday of February (Feb 4).
