"Make it a point to watch my first and last rides live on the internet today, I am going to win. Don't miss it at any cost, tell the children also to join you," jockey Hanumant Singh, who had ridden only one winner in the last ten years, told his wife in Pune yesterday morning over the phone.
True to word, the 36-year-old jockey created a sensation at the races yesterday by winning those two races — prevailing narrowly in a hair-raising three-way photo finish to win astride 18-to-1 shot Wind And Rain in the first race, and then romping home in style with Pretty In Patpong to win by a wide margin of six-and-a-half lengths in the last race on the card. Both winners were trained by Hormuz Antia.
