Son Of A Gun, trained by Narendra Lagad, outpaced his three rivals to win the feature race of the Thursday afternoon, the Rajpipla Trophy. Jockey Mustakim Alam rode the winner. Interestingly, Son Of A Gun was the least fancied among the four runners--bookmakers making the other three almost joint favourites at 3-to-1, while offering a generous price of 6-to-1 on the Lagad ward. Son Of A Gun hit the front from the word go, and was neither headed nor challenged at any stage of the six-furlong sprint, despite shortening his strides as he approached the winning post.

Veteran jockey PS Chouhan turned out to be the star performer of the seven-race card. He converted all his three mounts into winners.
