The Rehanullah Khan-trained Highland Empress Excellent Art - Meohmy galloped to glory in the mid-day Trophy, the prime attraction of yesterday-s seven-race card held under the floodlights.
In the hands of jockey Pradeep Chouhan, the four-year-old filly, owned by Nazir Shaikh, moved up fluently to overtake the leader Fire Flame SA Amit up, snuffed out the spirited bid of Lord Commander A Sandesh up who tried to go with her stride for stride approaching the distance post, and thwarted the late assault of Chosen One Neeraj Rawal up to earn the winning sash.
