Kolkata: Wonder mare Juliette from the stable of Karthik Ganapathy created record of sorts while annexing the HPSL Invitation Cup Grade-I at the RCTC here on Sunday. The grey out of Gimmesumsugar gave a scintillating performance by winning the prestigious event in a record time of 2.26:783s and above all achieved a three-in-row victory, which no one will be able break in a hurry. Her regular saddle partner Chotu Singh Jodha was content to watch the proceedings from the rear end of the field. As the race took a serious turn, the grey left the field gasping for breath with Jamari a tame second.
The Super Mile Cup Grade-I was an easy picking for Rajesh Narredu-trained A Star Is Born with Suraj Narredu riding a confident race.
