One month is still left in the Delhi racing season 2007-08, but the less number of horses appearing for the morning try-outs indicates that the season has come to an end prematuredly. Entries on the day were not sufficient. However, the Delhi Race Club just managed to organise it with a small field. The racegoers had no difficulty in picking the winners in the card of six races. The day had four successful favourites and in the other two races, second fancied horses also obliged. Among the horses who justified the top billing was Soul Satisfaction, who mincemeated the field in the Madras race Club Cup on Monday. Waiting for an opportunity to let the filly prove herself as the next genuine miler after Brahmaputra, the connections would not have thought that she would meet such a mediocre field where all the horses barring her were out of form. The four-year old filly broke out of the gate quickly and left the field dance to her tune while scoring in a pillar-to-post affair. Her stablemate, Just Like A Woman, could not find a better berth than runner-up. "I was very much sure about her turn of foot. She did exactly what I expected from her," Aleem Khan, trainer, told me. "Let’s see if any race comes her way and particularly over more than seven furlongs; another chance can be given to her," Aleem said. Interestingly, the daughter of Duja-Wajima Queen and the winner of the North India 1000 Guineas even bettered her timing by over three seconds (one minute, 38.46 seconds) from what she clocked in the Derby where she ran fourth to the co-ownermate Brahmaputra. Dedication, who carried the back-crushing weight, struggled throughout to be fourth behind Tarragona. The horse was not at his best. Even if an assistance of apprentice was taken, hardly it would have made any difference. Yare paved the way for the favourites after tasting his long awaited victory in the upper division of the Chettinad stud Plate. The Mumbai imported gelding, Sarkar, who had developed fitness problem in November, was alerted to the task late which enabled him to gain the second place. He should make amends. In the same race, Crown Performer crashed to the ground at 650 metres and the horse following him - Heavenly Angel - collided against him and fell down. Both completed the course riderless. The lower division of the race saw the eight-year-old Rose Velt stepping into the winners boot in a start to finish attempt. The speedy customers should complete an encore over the five furlongs trip but in a poor set. Basra, who failed to displace Gamati from the second place with a narrow margin, was strode out only inside the final furlong. The mare is knocking at the door. Futurecalculations landed spoilsport in the Grand Stand Plate which was earmarked for the maiden youngsters. The filly of Hymn and Sharastamina utilized the benefit of lung opener run in which she ran third. There were early hiccups, but jockey R Parmod pushed her vigorously to snatch the issue before 800 m and prevailed over late finishing favourite Captain Planet. The defeat of the colt was on the card as he was taking on the field for a distance which was not suitable for him (the longer is much better). The other reason was he was away from racing for over two months due to fitness problems. He has a staying capability. Raging Cauvery, who ran third with the help of blinker, would be in different shape in the next venture. Roopendra Singh Shekhawat-trained High Opinion spent a tough time before prevailing over Gandiva in a close call over six furlongs' Guindy Plate. Fraud, whose better performance has always come over the longer trip mostly except the lone victory he recorded over the identical trip in the mid season, got into action very late and that enabled him to bag the third spot, finishing a three-parts-of-a-length behind the duo. True Beauty brought the curtain down on the 41st day's programme by making every post a winning one over the seven furlongs.
