Young trainers dominate trainers' trophy

<p>Audi Million to bring the curtain down on Mumbai season</p>
Two young trainers, one landing a nice coup by backing his debutant horse from 10-1 to 2-1 and the other opening his career account with a well-supported gamble, won the two divisions of the Trainers Trophy, the feature event of Saturday's eight-race card. In a last-moment deal worked out with the club, both divisions were sponsored by Zavaray Poonawalla who stepped in late on Friday night as a sponsor by donating Rs 10 lakh for the Saturday night racing program.
Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha's four-year-old Make Way For Me made his debut at the age of four, but such was the confidence of the connections that the first-timer was spiritedly backed down from the long shot status to eventually start as a favourite for the race at post time. The smart money that came his way was rewarded handsomely as, in the hands of jockey Kavraj Singh, Make Way For Me came up with a flourish in the final furlong to sweep past the front-running horses with commendable ease. This was third victory in as many days of night racing for Kavarj Singh, who emerged as the most successful jockey under the floodlights.
