Time And Tide, vigorously ridden by A. Sandesh, claimed the Akkasaheb Maharaj Trophy, in a thrilling finish from Magileto, the feature event of Sunday’s (Sept. 7) races here. The winner is owned by Mr. Vikram Bachhawat rep. Bachhawat Farms Pvt. Ltd. and trained by Nirad Karanjawala. Sandesh stole the limelight by riding four winners on the day.
The stewards of the Royal Western India Turf Club observed a minute’s silence during the races to honour the memory of Diwan Arun Nanda who passed away on Saturday (Sept. 6) at the age of 82. He was a former chairman of RWITC and racehorse owner. His contribution to the sport and the club was fondly remembered.
