“In the end, no one really knows which horse will win — certainly not the owner,” Robert Morley’s famous quote must be weighing heavy on the minds of at least two horse owners in the Indian Derby fray — KN Dhunjibhoy and Shiven Surendranath.
 
They own, along with friends, the top two horses running in Sunday’s Villoo C Poonawalla Indian Derby (Gr 1) at the Mahalaxmi racetrack — the Pesi Shroff-trained Fynbos and the Adhirajsingh-trained Baychimo.

“I’m very nervous at the moment,” KN Dhunjibhoy told mid-day on Wednesday, before laughing aloud, “certainly much more nervous than my filly Fynbos, who will do the actual running. You can say I’m already having butterflies in my stomach.”
