Yet another brilliant turn of foot enabled Rock Solid earn his double by annexing the Defence Services Cup, which was the main attraction of the Delhi races held on Monday. Trainer Aleem Khan, who saddled the victor, and his stable jockey Syed Afsar Shah shared a brace each.

Ever since, Rock Solid has started running with "Gag bit", he has improved leaps and bounds. Keeping in view of a narrow victory in his last outing and taking on Equal Luxury, who was running over her pet distance after routing the field over shooter trip, made the bookmakers keep him at nourishing odds. However, running behind the pacemaker Real Speed and getting a cover from Equal Luxury made the son of Royal Gladitor and Mount Rose to maintain the straight course with still over a furlong left from the winning post. As the favourite Equal Luxury failed to improve further, Master Harmonica did dare to challenge Rock Solid but had to settle with the runner-up slot. Rock Solid will now be on the verge of hat-trick, while, Master Harmonica and Equal Luxury are expected to retain their form.

Earlier, a scintillating performance of Made of Gold raised the curtain of the day's programmed. The son of Ontario and Forestmaid, who will be shouldering the colts challenge in the forthcoming 2000 Guineas, did no mistake to provide an armchair ride to Shah in the Bash of Regardless Plate. He should extend his winning streak. The stablemate of the winner Divinegrace headed out Take A Chance for the second position.

Deepak Kalra-trained Moongate Man finally found his winning shoes by getting half-a-length better of Shocking Star in the Vayu Vega Plate, which was earmarked for the top class runners. The grey gelding of Steinbeck and Stream Of Love was the quickest of the block but was displaced by the favourite filly in the early furlong. Letting allow the owner and stablemate Ode To Nature to break the strides of the leader, finally paid dividends, as Moongate devoured ground inside the distance to catch Shocking Star napping.

Bharath T Singh-trained Black Virgin mincemeat the field in the lower division of the Presence of Mind Plate. Whereas, the upper division of the event saw Forest Music overcoming the slow beginning and snatching the issue from Tarangire in the last strides. Tarangire should make amends. Serious Attitude, who ran third, is knocking at the door.

Manbir Singh's Chandelier landed spoilsports in the concluding event, Chandestly Plate. Improving from the mid-pack, Irfan astride Chandelier put him beyond the reach of the field after entering into the home straight. Burbank earned the next best slot by pipping Opera Royale. The public fancied Sparkling Gold lost her chances at the jump itself after meeting with severe interferences.
