STAR SUPREME's spectacular win in the 1998 McDowell Indian Derby by a, widening five and a-half lengths was Run in a Record Time of 2 Minutes and 30.5 seconds. 

The giant-striding son of Razeen justified his on-money favouritism by unleashing an electrifying turn of foot in the straight which made his 11 rivals look pedestrian. For Dr. M.A.M. Ramaswamy it was another memorable Indian Derby Triumph as he had earlier won the most prestigious Race of the Indian Turf in his Racing Colours with his classy filly Amazing BAY in 1996.

STAR SUPREME's Scintillating Performance shattered the earlier record time which was jointly held by Cordon Bleu and Elusive Pimpernel who had stopped the clock at 2 Minutes 30.7 seconds. 

For the Usha Stud Farm who Bred STAR SUPREME, it was their eighth Indian Derby Victory - a Record till 1998 for any Stud Farm in India.
