Market King, trained by SK Sunderji, was given a powerful ride by Neeraj Rawal in the Akkasaheb Maharaj Trophy (Gr 3), the feature event of Saturday`s eight-race card. Stalking the front running pair of Joaquin & Son Of A Gun until midway into the homestretch, Rawal asked Market King for an effort, and the game gallopper responded instantly to overhaul the duo to put the issue beyond doubt. The winner clocked 1m:7.761s for the six furlong trip.
In the lower division of the Holy Smoke Plate, jockey Zervan did well to first stalk the leader Mufaza (PP Dhebe up) before charging for lead after hitting the homestretch, and then holding off a spirited bid by Anoushka (S Saqlain up) in the final lap of the seven-frulong trip. In the other division of the same race, Mustakim Alam gave a clever ride to the Narendra Lagad-trained Prince Igor and managed to hold on from the fast-finishing Metzinger (P Trevor up).
