If she had not struggled for a clear passage at the crucial stages, she would have made it easily in stead of bowing down narrwoly to Gin And Tonic in the Chief secretary Cup. She proved it true while annexing the Defence Services Cup in a convincing manner which she deserved for. She was one of the four favourites who justified the favourtism and jockey K Narender Kumar was the sucessful professional, who earns two wins. Working quickly on the word 'Go', she found herself at the helm of affairs while retiring home with plenty in saddle. The daughter of El Johar and Angelic Heights has been a consistent performer this season and it is expected that she should continue to extend her best in the next venture. Gangajal sought the help of whip to finish second ahead of Pin Up Girl, who could have run better than the former with the help of quirt, never bore a single crack of whip in the last furlongs. The opening event of the day's proceeding saw the favourite, Nawab Sahib receiving a severe setback at the hands of Gorgeous Blue, who was ridden out by K Narender Kumar. However, the run of Gold Giver caught the attention. The four-year-old gelding, who started off his career here after being imported from Mumbai, was in close attendance before being folded back to be third. It was mere the second run of the son of Barood and Sonalika. He has the calibre which can lead him to glory. A nailbiting finish between So Far So Good and More Than A Woman enthralled the gathering. The former, who was the hot favourite of the day, looked all set to emerge victorious before the late galloping More Than woman, who left no stone unturned to turn the table on her. But it was the public fancied runner who just survived at the winning post by a whisker. More Than A Woman, who is still holding the maiden status, should not hold the portfolio for a long period. she is more capable to earn luarels upto the mile. Senegal, who came from the second last position, finished to be an eyecatching fifth. The son of Tele Sport (who was the local classic filly) is worth to be followed in future. He is the horse, who was not extended in the barrier-trial against Solitary Man (who won a race later on). Shaitan landed the spoilssport under the guidance of Irfan Ali in the Presence of Mind Plate whereas the heavily backed Benvenuta failed to live upto the expectations and even finished off the board. The latter, who had developed the fitness problem, was in after a long lay off. And more surprsingly, the task for which she was sent out was never within her reach. She missed the kick and never came out of the shadow of fifth place. The run of Five Star, who ran close fourth, is best ignored. Much Faster finally found her way in the Chandestly Plate which was slated to be run over seven furlongs. After breaking out, the six-year old gelding decided to set his own pace and found no trouble en route to victory. The failed favourite on the previous occasion had done well with blinker in the morning try-outs and that induced the connections to go with it which lastly bore fruitful answers. Interestingly, he was opened favourite before being displaced by Duke Ellington, who not only flopped but also failed to even run on the board. An encore for Much Faster is on the card. Ashwa Pratap showed his power in the concluding event - vayu Vega Plate. Sitting fourth till the straight enough, jockey Gajendera singh Shekhawat had to put in his experience to guide his way to triumph. Intricate, who came from rear and finished fifth, is the most noteworthy runner.
