Horse racing: Favourite Ruffina faces stern test

Representational Picture

The four-year-filly Ruffina, winner of six races from seven starts so far, will be facing the sternest test of her career in today's eight-race card at the Mahalaxmi racetrack. Ruffina has an able ally in jockey David Allan and it is this combination of horse and the horseman that Ruffina's rivals may find difficult to beat, though a close finish cannot be ruled out.

First race at 1.45pm.
