Jockey Yash Narredu stole the limelight at the Pune racetrack where the Mumbai racing season 2020-21 was flagged off yesterday. The youngest jockey of the Narredu clan rode in three of the eight races, riding two winners and losing the third by a whisker.

In the fifth race, the Secret Star Plate, Yash rode Giant Star trained by his brother Deepesh Narredu. He was unperturbed until midway in the short Pune homestretch when the race came to a boil and Sunrise Ruby (Zervan up) and Mount Moriah (Sandesh up) were engaged in a heated battle, then moved up Giant Star with gigantic strides to whiz past the warring duo.
