The 71st running of the McDowell Signature Premier Indian Derby (Grade 1), to be run on Sunday (Feb 3) at the Mahalaxmi racecourse, has attracted as many as 21 four-year-old horses, with two of them — Cooji Katrak-trained Winds Of Fortune and Kolkata Derby winner Snowscape — jumping into the fray at the last minute by paying a whopping million rupees each as final entry fee.
