Horse racing: Thunberg tipped for Smasher Trophy

The eight-race Saturday card, which ushers in the biggest weekend of Mahalaxmi racing, could prove very tricky, so caution must be the watchword. For the prime event, the Smasher Trophy for class II horses, I nominate the Pesi Shroff-trained Thunberg (C Umesh up) who set her own pace in two of the three Classics run so far on this track, and still managed to figure in place. Thunberg is expected to fight it out with the two outstation challengers--Lord Frankel & Balor.


First race at 2.30 pm.
