"Dad, I must win this race, and come what may, I am going to win the mid-day trophy," is what young jockey Yash Narredu had told his father, trainer Malesh Narredu, last year when he came to know that actress Sonam Kapoor was going to present the mid-day trophy. A diehard Bollywood fan, teenager Yash gave an extraordinary ride to Speed King last year to win the mid-day trophy, and was on cloud nine when receiving the trophy from the popular actress.
