Miracle also makes it three-in-a-row with record run in Poonawalla Breeders’ Multi-Million
Juliette, piloted by A. Sandesh, completed a hat-trick by winning the Darashaw Indian St. Leger (Gr.1), while Miracle (P.S. Chouhan up) also completed three-wins-in-a-row by claiming the Poonawalla Breeders’ Multi-Million (PBMM) (Gr.1), the two main attractions of the races held here on Sunday (March 14).
Karthik Ganapathy-trained Juliette is owned by M.A.M. Ramaswamy Chettiar of Chettinad Charitable Trust, while Miracle is the property of Mr. Mehernosh H. Deboo & Mrs. Auzita M. Deboo and trained by Pesi Shroff.
Thanka to the guidance of Sandesh, Juliette, who was racing third till the bend, cruised past the leader Wizard Of Stocks and drew away to register a fashionable victory by a fair margin.
Jockey Chouhan had confidently kept Miracle sixth near 600m and as the field entered the straight, this wonder filly manoeuvred her way and came up with gigantic strides to score a comprehensive win. Miracle also set a new course record for 1400m (back stretch) by winning the PBMM in 1m, 23.15s.
