Kolkata: Consistency got its due reward when Aashay Doctor-nursed Trakila claimed the first classic of the rainy season here at the RCTC on Tuesday. The daughter of Nickel Chrome was the pride of place in the betting ring was not misleading. Yash Narredu must be complemented for keeping his cool astride the winner. As the field swung into the home straight, it was Trakila who was moving best of the lot and the winner was spotted long way from home.Trakila recorded her fourth win in as many starts and on this showing she is to be backed till beaten.
In the other action of the day which saw Agnostic from the stable Bharath Singh retraced his steps in the winner’s enclosure by lifting the Stewards Cup in the hands of Antony Raj. Agnostic was racing in the front bunch along with Cool Rider and Etosha and into the home straight, Antony Raj put the son of Kabini in top gear to complete an encore. Savvy Chic rallied late to displace Cool Rider for the second spot. The winner will be hard to beat in the term races.
Another one from Aashay Doctor’s yard Meropi with Yash Narredu atop donkey licked her rivals in taking style to win the Silver Fox Handicap. This money-back favourite daughter of Panamera swept past the front runners like a hot knife slicing through butter. She too is to be back till beaten.
Patrick Quinn-saddled King’s Retreat was another to complete a brace in the hands of A. Sandesh to win the first division of theTrue Colours Handicap. One race earlier the second division too was won by his Fancy Nancy.
