Invisible Force registered a convincing victory in the Commissioner of Excise, Entertainment and Luxury Tax cup, the highlight of the Delhi races held here the 10th day of the season on Monday, which turned out to be a memorable day for the trainers "Khan" picked up four winners with Kazim Ali Khan and his younger brother Mohsin Khan completed the quorum of six races respectively. Jockey Rajinder was not far behind the achievement of Aleem Khan, he completed a hat-trick engaged for as many races. The day also saw favourites making a clean sweep. The day's proceeded with a small field of five and coincidentally all the nominated horses were from the yard of Aleem Khan. The presence of Aleem along with his five jockeys and two owners were the centrestage when the horses took a roll around the paddock. Barring the money-return Vagabond, the punters had to spend their precious time to choose the second best. On this part many failed, as She's The One occupied the runner-up berth. However, it was not an easy victory as it looked on the card for Vagabond. The colt earned a hard pressed win. Even She's The One had to follow the suit finishing ahead of the owner mate Nymphetamine, who was kept on travelling off the victor. Rajinder, who guided Vagabond, had infect an armchair ride on Invisible Force. Letting Elegant Fashion and Exalted allow to do the early job over the sprint's, he got his mount swing into action only after passing the initial furlong. The four-year-old colt should complete an encore. Time To Wyn, one of the oldest runners, managed to pip Exalted for the next best while. Lady's Crown caught the attention after coming from rear and ending up the race at the neck of Exalted. Best of The Lot, who received a huge support from the connections, lost his steam when his hope was dashed by Exalted as the former had to receive a severe check several time from the half way down the track. The champion jockey brought the curtain down on the day's meeting by guiding the fortune of She's Romantic over the mile and that too, in a start-to-finish attempt. The three-year-old maiden filly, who ran off the board previously found, the mediocre set at her disposal. Undoubtedly, the support of blinker made a sea change and is expected to be in blazing form. Jovial, who was also from the yard of Aleem, survived narrowly against Before You, in a wire-to-wire attempt. The gelding has the speed and with more preparation, he can mature himself into a good sprinter. Before You, who spent valuable time for a clear passage from Jovial and Candrakanta should make amends. Taking a lesson from the previous debacle run, Kazim-saddled Faurties was sent out in top whole condition without tongue strap and that proved right when the colt landed spoilsport in the upper division of the Revenue Plate. The in-form jockey Faiz Ali Khan showed no hurry in settling him behind the two speedy customers Gorgeous Blue and Striving Higher. He came with a scintillating burst of speed to get away from the pack before the distance post. He also has the capability of staying power. Mohsin Khan-trained Shy Beauty became the fourth successive winner while, making every post a winning one by getting the three-parts-of-a-length better of late galloper Time Gentlemen in the lower division of the Revenue Plate.
