Madagascar, by Phoenix Tower out of Taralaya, impressed as the best three-year-old in training at the moment in western India.
Shorff's final win of the treble came in the Y M Chaudhry Memorial Trophy. He sent out Spitfire, another Phoenix Tower progeny, out of Athlone, who moved up form the middle of the field with telling strides and then outclassed his eight rivals to post a stylish victory in the hands of D Probert.
