Zuccarelli, trained by Pesi Shroff, won the Kingfisher Ultra Indian Derby (Gr 1) on Sunday at the Mahalaxmi racetrack. Zuccarelli carried the racing silks of KN Dhunjibhoy, who owns him in partnership with his son Zaheer, and friends DR Thacker, Mukul Sonawala and Adi Narielwala. Zuccarelli was bred at Nanoli stud farm.

Ace jockey P Trevor, who was yet to win the most coveted race in the Indian racing calendar despite winning championships for several seasons, finally did it in style when, just before passing the winning post, he looked back over his left shoulder to blow a kiss for his daughter, Dhanaria, who was watching the Derby live with family.
