The Pesi Shroff-trained Fynbos, going out as a hot, on-money favourite for the Forbes Breeders' Juvenile Fillies' Championship (Gr 3), justified the cramped odds, outpaced and outclassed her six rivals to be crowned the champion filly. Jockey P Trevor astride the Kingda Ka - Mahali three-year-old filly bred at the Nanoli stud treated rivals with absolute disregard as he set his own pace, and drew away for a massive eight-and-a-quarter-length victory over Pristine Glory (Antony Raj up).
In the Shapoorji Pallonji Breeders' Juvenile Colts' Championship (also Gr 3), Stormy Sea (Dreamfiled - Anjeze, bred at Dashmesh stud) the three-year-old colt trained by MK Jadhav, who received late smart money which sent his odds crashing down from 9/1 to 6/1 in the final moments, stunned his more fancied rivals by posting an authoritative performance, taking charge midway in the homestretch and sailing away for a comfortable win. Stormy Sea was ridden by the Bangalore-based jockey Antony Raj who also emerged as star professional for the day with a fine treble.
