With only 250m to go, five-year-old Siege Courageous guided by jockey Antony Raj courageously forced his way between the front-running duo of Golden Neil and Magileto to win the Yohan Z Poonawalla Turf Club Trophy (Gr 3), the feature event of Saturday`s eight-race card. The favourite Royal Mysore (Akshay Kumar up) moved up from mid-bunch very fast--but very late, to finish half a length behind the winner. Incidentally, both winner and the runner up were trained by Prasanna Kumar.
Jockey Neeraj Rawal and trainer Imtiaz Sait teamed up to score a very deserving double on Saturday: their three-year-old Regina Memorabilis (Ampere - Ibiza Empress) registered dramatic improvement over her recent debut run on the same track when winning the Indian Association of Equine Practitioners (IAEP) Trophy; while four-year-old Christophany, who had displayed quality early speed over 1400m in last start, excelled over the shorter trip (1200m) to lift the Western India Racehorse Owners` Association Trophy.
