The feature race of Saturday's nine-race card slated for a special day's racing at Pune promises an exciting contest. Nine top class horses have accepted to run for the Nirmal Ruia Gold Trophy, and strangely, two seven-year-olds in the fray -- Beyond Belief & Portrush -- may be concerned at the finish along with the Bangalore challenger Atlantus. The joker in the pack is another seven-year-old, Pepe Junior.
