Themis, trained by M K Jadhav and ridden by A Sandesh, won the grade 2, C N Wadia Gold Cup, the feature event of Sunday's seven-race card. Freely available at 11-to-4 in the bookmakers' ring despite the popular vote, Themis raced as a relaxed seventh in a field of ten runners as Square Moon (SA Amit up) set a moderate pace for his nine rivals. Trevor Patel astride B Fifty Two who stalked the leader all the way assumed command briefly in the straight, but had no answer to the onslaught of Themis who started devouring ground, exploiting the ten-kg pull she enjoyed at the scales vis-a-vis B Fifty Two. Themis finally pulled away for a comfortable victory of 3-3/4 lengths, clocking a decent 2 minutes 28.21 seconds for the mile-and-a-half trip.
