The Poonawalla Breeders' Multi-Million (Grade 1)

The Poonawalla Breeders' Multi Million (Grade 1) is a race that every 3 year old wants to win. The Prestige of this race has increased over the past few years by leaps & bounds (Thanks to the Breeders Lobby). This year it seems that Mr. Rakesh Kumar Wadhawan rep. Wadhawan Lifestock Pvt. Ltd. is the prime contender to win this race as his 2 horses Ocean And Beyond (trained by S.K.Sunderji with R.Hughes astride) & Star Future (trained by Adil Dajee with Imran Chisty astride) are in top form. Ocean And Beyond's last victory in the Kunigal Stud Breeders' Produce Stakes (Grade 3) was absolutely scintillating & with Richard Hughes astride, can win the race & complete the hatrick of wins. Similarly Star Future's last victory in The Hello Millions was a start to finish affair where he left his rivals stunned & stopped the clock in a smart timing of 1:23:64 secs. If Star Future decides to put his best foot forward, then he can make them all run. The Dark Horse in this race is from Dr. M.A.M. Ramaswamy's camp Ordained One (trained by S.Ganpathy with B. Prakash astride) who won his first outing in Mumbai quite easily but ran a disappointing 6th in his last run behind Ocean And Beyond. He has worked well & can upset the apple cart of both the Wadhawan runners. One cannot rule out the Champion Trainer Pesi Shroff who has two runners viz., Batista (C. Rajendra astride) & Macchupicchu (K. Fallon astride) & with his luck going on quite well this season, how knows he just might get lucky even today.

So witness the running of the Poonawalla Breeders' Multi Million at 5:00pm at Mahalaxmi Race Course on Sunday 28th Feb. 2010.

A special appreciation & gratitude goes to Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla, Mr. Zavaray Poonawalla & the entire Poonawalla Family for their Magnanimous Contribution.
