The nine-race card yesterday at Mahalaxmi, which featured a record eight "million" races sponsored by Parsi luminaries was, incidentally, dominated by professionals from the same community as seven of the nine races had at least one Parsi connected with the winner either as owner, trainer, jockey or breeder.
Dr Cyrus Poonawalla, former chairman of the race club and chief sponsor of the World Zorastrian Congress, was also in luck as Elite Model, owned by him through a syndicate named after his late wife Villoo, prevailed in a blanket finish to win the Darashaw Million, one of the main races of the day.
