PUNE: Four-year-old Attained who, despite pouring his heart out in each of the first 13 races of his racing career, was yet to win a race, finally broke the jinx in the mid-day trophy, on a card which was framed in honour of mainstream publications covering the sport of horse racing.

"Attained is a genuine horse," trainer Ms Nazzak Chenoy told mid-day after the race, "unfortunately, he always came across some really good horses. Even this Pune season, he had to play second fiddle to a couple of very good younger horses, one of them (Enabler) went on to win a graded race. I am very happy for Attained today--he finally broke the jinx in the mid-day Trophy."
