Smashing, the Vijay Mallya-owned filly who is easily the most promising of her age, will begin her Mumbai campaign tomorrow
Smashing, the Vijay Mallya-owned filly who is easily the most promising of her age, will begin her Mumbai campaign tomorrow.
The Pesi Shroff-trained three-year-old by Holy Roman Emperor out of Exquisite is expected to post an easy victory in her race--the Scorpio Plate for class III horses, and accordingly, shapes as the best bet of the opening day of the Mahalaxmi 2011-12 racing campaign.
The feature event, Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy (VI Bart.) Cup, seems to be at the mercy of Vinayak-schooled Mountain Treasure (Dashrath Singh up), while Audelade Inaugural Million, the day's only sponsored event for there-year-olds could turn out to be very tricky. My vote goes to Lake Superior (Martin Dwyer up) though my money will not ride on it.
