The most lucrative of these braces, in terms of the betting odds, was the one saddled by trainer Faisal Abbas, who picked up the B K Lagad Memorial Gold Trophy with a rank outsider, 12-to-1 Dreamliner (C S Jodha up), and exactly an hour later, saddled another shocker of a winner when Dashrath Singh brought his Ishpingo (incidentally, winner of the MiD DAY Trophy on the Christmas day two years ago at Mahalaxmi) with a scintillating stretch run in the final furlong to steal the Antonios Trophy at the massive odds of 20-to-1. A mere Rs 100 roll on these two horses would have earned Rs 27,200 as profit for anyone who backed it.

Jockey Dashrath Singh had himself ridden another 9-to-1 shot named Burn (trainer: Antia) earlier to victory in the opening race of the afternoon — his double’s followers collecting a cool Rs 20,900 on a Rs 100 investment.
