Royal Mysore, trained by Prasanna Kumar, won the Winfair247 Gaming Trophy, the feature event on the opening day of the Pune monsoon racing season. Royal Mysore was ridden by P Trevor who settled him on the inner rails before angling out after the final turn. The moment Trevor asked for an effort, the four-year-old accelerated in spectacular fashion to leave the field standing. This was the fifth straight win for the peripatetic Royal Mysore who has conquered Bangalore, Kolkata, Mumbai, and now Pune, during his winning spree since January this year.
Jockey A Sandesh gave a copybook ride to the Dallas Todywalla-trained Spanish Eyes who won the Season Opener Plate with a measure of comfort. Sandesh ended the day with a double as he also rode Mother`s Grace to victory for trainer Adhirajsingh to bag the lower division of the D K Ashish Trophy. Interestingly, the trainer also won the other division of the same race with Aperol (CS Jodha up), and emerged as star professional on Sunday with a grand treble---having already led in Malet Spring who sprang a suprise in the upper division of the Vibrant Plate in the hands of jockey Shrikant Kamble.
