The grade 1, Poonawalla Breeders' Multi-Million (PBMM), the richest race for three-year-olds, popularly known as the juvenile Derby, is slated as the stellar attraction of a bumper ten-race Sunday card at the Mahalaxmi racetrack. There are 14 runners in the fray, nine of them already winners of at least one race.
All eyes will be on Multitude, the Vijay Singh-trained Multidimensional - Haidi colt from Kolkata, who has won all this three starts so far, and may start as the favourite for the PBMM. The local brigade will be spearheaded by Pesi Shroff's Costa Del Sol, Malesh Narredu's Colombiana, Cooji Katrak's Bullrun & Dallas Todywalla's Phoenix Tiger, and it is the last-named whom I expect to emerge triumphant.
