A small but interesting seven-race card is slated for Thursday at the Mahalaxmi racetrack, and Maharaj Sir Pratapsingh Gaekwad Trophy is the main event. Ciel Indienne, to be ridden by Chris Hayes, is tipped to win the race from Got To Go and Amore Mio. In fact, the Dallas Todywalla-trained four-year-old colt should be considered as the best betting proposition of the afternoon as I rate him as one of the best horses in the country over the trip of seven furlongs which is his forte.
First race at 2:30pm.
