The Dallas Todywalla-trained Sky Fall emerged victorious in the Madras Race Club Trophy, the feature event of Sunday's eight-race card. The six-year-old mare, owned by Yohan Poonawalla in partnership with his wife Michelle and father Zavaray, was ridden by the Bangalore-based jockey S Saqlain.

Sky Fall hit the front from the word go, and was stalked by Mozelle (Neeraj Rawal up), with the first favourite Endeavour (A Sandesh up) racing three lengths away, keeping company to Gazino (S Zervaan up) even as Augustus Caesar (Bhawani Singh) was content to race in the rear. After turning for home, Sky Fall quickly managed to shake off Mozelle and appeared to be going away for an unchallenged victory at the midpoint of the homestretch.
