Following the script laid down by the aficionados of the game, the amazing eight-year-old grey mare #Juliette won the Indian Turf Invitation Cup for the third year in succession - a feat unlikely to be matched in the near future by any horse. Trainer Kartik Ganapathy had always maintained that visitors to the Calcutta racecourse on Sunday would witness’ something special’ and there is no doubt that his words rung true. The daughter of #Musketier out of #Gimmesumsugar strolled to victory in the HPSL Indian Turf Invitation Cup by eight long lengths from a hard-ridden Jamari in a record time of 2min 26.783sec. Jockey CS Jodha had his mount racing last of seven till the 800m marker while Kalamitsi and Champion’s Way shared the lead about 15 lengths ahead of her. The grey showed a wonderful turn of foot to be within striking distance at the top of the straight and drew away from the field effortlessly thereafter. Owner Zavary Poonawalla said after the race that his mare can now be called ‘#empressofindia’ - indeed so! No horse deserves that title more than her. Kudos to Kartik for maintaining his aged ward in the pink of condition.
