The Pesi Shroff-trained Zacharias and the Adhirajsingh-trained Baychimo will renew their battle in the Indian 2000 Guineas. Shroff is leaving no stone unturned, and has flown in his favorite and lucky jockey, Irishman O. Murphy to handle Zacharias, while Matheran boy Sandesh, who managed to make the wayward Baychimo stick to his lane in the last run, will ride the Adhiraj ward. Sovereign King, Stormy Sea, Big Bay and Western Star can add an interesting dimension to what is widely perceived as a duel between Zacharias and Baychimo. My choice is Baychimo.

First race at 12.45 pm.
