One horse in the fray of the grade 2, Ramnivas Ramnarain Ruia Gold Cup, may add a new twist to the script of the Indian Derby if he can humble his more experience rivals on Sunday at Mahalaxmi racetrack. That horse is Onassis, trained by Pesi Shroff and to be ridden by K Fallon.
The rider has specially been flown in to ride the Glory Of Dancer - Rahy's Serenade four-year-old, so the connections obviously have great hopes pinned on Onassis as a Classic prospect. And that these hopes are not misplaced isu00a0borne out by the fact that Onassis clocked sub-12 (less than 12 seconds) fractions for all the three final furlongs of the Mahalaxmi homestretch when winning last time, which, to my mind, is a sure sign of greatness in a horse.
