Firemiss, High Society, Machell Marieci in contention for MiD DAY Trophy
Firemiss, High Society, Machell Marieci in contention for MiD DAY Trophy
An extremely competitive field of 13 will face the starter for the MiD DAY Trophy, the event that celebrates MiD DAY's long association as media partner with the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) Ltd.
Three horses that will be most probably concerned at the judge's end will be Firemiss (Suraj Narredu up), High Society (Dashrath Singh up) & Michell Marieci (M Kharadi up).

The main event of today's nine-race card is the Grade 3, Rohan Lifescapes Maharaja Jiwajirao Scindia Trophy to be run over nine furlongs.
Becket, this year's Invitation Cup winner on the same track will be strongly fancied by the connections, and not without reason.
There will also be some support for last year's Invitation Cup winner Autonomy despite running after a longish lay-off of over 14 months.
But I cast my vote in favour of Aristos, a game fighter who recently won a mile race at Mahalaxmi in a start-to-finish manner, and is now going out with CD Hayes in the saddle.
Blackjack, who must have immensely benefited from her 1000 Guineas run, shapes as the best betting proposition of the afternoon in the Nawabzada Rashiduzzafar Khan Trophy although she may be offered too miserly odds by the bookmakers.
First race at 1.30 pm.
