In the final furlong of the Kailashpat Singhania Trophy (1400m), the feature event of Sunday`s seven-race card, when Azrinaz (A Sandesh up) and Ataash (TS Jodha up) were busy sapping each other`s energy in what looked like a decisive duel, the oldest horse in the fray--Charlie--accelerated beautifully in the hands of jockey Bhavani Singh to steal the thunder--and the race! 

Charlie is trained by Vinesh and owned by Peter Deubet and Ferzin Gaekwad, the latter happens to the trainer`s wife. Admitting that Charlie relishes longer trips, Ferzin said, "We took a chance in this race (against younger horses) because there was no suitable race for him in the near future." "We are very happy Charlie pulled it off," a thrilled Peter added.
