A brilliant effort by "Team Vijay Mallya" led by Zeyn Mirza, veteran Jaggi Dhariwal and a younger Suleiman Attaolahi saw their colours dominating an interesting afternoon of racing on Saturday at Bangalore. The camp won all three races framed for first season campaigners, with Captivating lifting the prestigious Governor's Trophy in a common canter. All three were bred at the Kunigal Stud Farm and retained by them for racing. The produce of this farm has been doing extremely well in the current season, and they have won a majority of the races framed for three year olds at Bangalore. Senora Encima and Chintz won the two divisions of The Infant's Plate. The man responsible for guiding the fortunes of the establishment was their retained rider Chris Hayes. This young man came to India for the first time last year. He rode with a fair amount of success. The last twelve months seem to have transformed him into a new person. He is riding with great skill and confidence. He seems to have adapted himself to the local conditions admirably. He loves to ride in front and guides his mounts with supreme confidence. He was declared to ride four horses on Saturday and he won on all four of them. This effort has propelled him into a narrow lead ahead of Suraj Narredu in the jockeys championship. Racing patrons can look forward to some exciting times in the coming weeks as the two professionals compete for the crown. A similar scene seems to be unfolding in the trainer's tally. Ganapathy has been wearing the crown from the time he began his training career. For the first time in so many years, he has been headed and passed by Padmanabhan in recent weeks. Padmanabhan leads by a couple of points at the end of Saturday's racing. The Governor's Trophy had a small field of eight runners. Red Renegade was a firm favourite ahead of Captivating, while the others were not even considered in this mile event. A small accident at the starting gates, witnessed the yellow flags being waved by the officials indicating the withdrawl of Red Renegade. The race thereafter became a procession. Hayes took Captivating to the front and led from Flower Alley, Spearhead and Majestic Strides. The order remained the same till the very end. The jockey looked back repeatedly in the straight and relaxed the filly in the closing stages of the race. Captivating made it three-out-of-three in the last three months. This filly was a late foal, and has never been tested in a race. Her full potential is yet to be assessed. Her breeding and style of running indicate that she will be comfortable over longer trips.Trainer Dhariwal has done very well with her. The wins on first-timers Senora Encima and Chintz were achieved in identical fashion. Both these fillies were held back in second spot before being pushed in the straight. The day's opener saw a lot of money being wagered on Lush Lashes. This on-money favourite was pushed by John to take the lead and show out at the bend. They were soon joined by Senora Encima and Chris Hayes. Despite running a bit green, Senora Encima proved to be far superior to the favourite. The victory was more authoritative than the official verdict of one length. Chintz won her race with utmost ease. Front-running Virtuoso caved in tamely as he was challenged by Chintz near the distance post. This well bred filly (Burden Of Proof-Littleover) gave no chance to her rivals and won impressively from a late finishing Star Assembly. Kripa came with an impressive flourish from the rear and took the third spot. The easiest victory for the jockey came astride Irfan's Lock And Load. This even money favourite was opposed by a bunch of disinterested starters. Atlantus led till the bend and surrendered tamely to the eventual winner. Lock and Load won as he liked and passed the winning post many lengths clear of So Much More and Clouseau. The runner-up finished second on sufference and should be supported whenever the connections decide to press the right button. Sharat Kumar's Lionheart continues to amaze racegoers at this centre. He put up another powerful display in The S Rangarajan Memorial Cup over 1200 metres. He was allocated a back breaking weight of 67 Kgs and was running over a trip which was considered short for him. Queen Rania was the rage in this race and was backed as if defeat was out of question. Queen Rania overtook Sword Of Power near the bend and David Allan took her to the front. She seemed to be going well and had a firm grip on the race. The scene changed alarmingly in the last 50 metres. The favourite began to shorten her strides while a few runners began their charge from the rear. Lionheart, Dinesa and Queen Rania flashed past the post, and were separated after consulting the camera. Lionheart has proved to be a money spinner for his connections and retains his zest for racing at the age of eight. Arjun Mangalorkar's Conceptual signalled her return to form while cantering away with a seven furlong race for horses in Class III. Conceptual was highly rated by her connections , but had burst a blood vessel in he previous start. There was no such problem today as she overtook Edmondo at the bend and scampered away for an easy victory. Top weighted Royal Amber was an on-money favourite to win this race ,but was found flat footed at the bend. He finished a faraway third and should be left alone for a while. The winner can progress from her current mark. Edmondo should win a race before the end of the season. The day's proceedings ended with the closest finish of the day. The bobbing of the heads went in favour of Dominic's Music Forever.Dominic's patience and good care seem to have finally paid dividends for this horse. Vayuputra was gallant in defeat as he was giving chunks of weight to the winner. Music Forever has a penchant for going wide at the final bend. Harish did well to keep him on an even keel, and drove him in the straight. Music Forever won by a nose from Vayuputra . Scramjet was a close third.
