In memory of late trainer S Padmanabhan, who passed away in October last year in Bangalore, the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) has framed a special race, the S Padmanabhan Cup (Class II; 1400m) which has attracted seven runners.

The traditional handicapping system marks Fourth Wing, Earth and Bishop as prime contenders, but the Dynamic Handicapping consideration adds long shot Bee Magical too as an outsider.
