The talented filly Tesorino, who lost a race which she should have easily won thanks to an over confident effort from Saqlain,in her last essay, produced a stellar effort to reign supreme in the Guindy Grand Prix, the plum event for juveniles run over a mile. 

The winner from Darius Byramji's yard piloted by a confident and in-form Yash Narredu flew out of the gates and called the shots for most part of the eight furlongs journey before she gamely held on to peg back the belated effort of the stablemate and much fancied favourite Elfin Knight partnered by Trevor Patel. The emphatic victory of Tesorino was a slap in face of Saqlain, who threw away a race much to the chagrin of the railbirds and the professionals last time out at Guindy. The over confident effort cost the connections of the goodtype of filly dear, but undeterred  her young and sporting owner Gautam Maini disappointed with Saqlain's effort took the loss in his stride and boldly chose to enter her in a mile long event, when most including the many old hats in the game were of the view that Tesorino is at her best over sprints. 

The filly like the `Quick Gun Murugan' jumped out smartly and Yash allowed her to dictate and set her own pace before he drove her out in the final furlong to romp home a deserving winner. Immensely pleased with the effort of his star filly, Gautam Maini disclosed that he wanted to test the filly against the best and prove a point. "I was very disappointed last time out and today I'm delighted. Tesorino produced her best against higher ranked juveniles to stand tall at the podium and the sporting racing  buffs at Guindy provided the filly a standing ovation despite the fact that most pinned their hopes on Elfin Knight," said Gautam. In the end It was perfect justice and the railbirds were happy for the young owner. 

Tesorino, Darius and Gautam Maini apart, apprentice jockey Ram Nandan Manjhi stole the limelight recording a grand treble. The promising 2.5 kilos claimer first struck through the seven to one shot Prince Purple from B Suresh's yard, who made every post a winning one in the Champion Jockey Trophy run over a sprint. Last start winner and the overwhelming favourite Safety from Sebastian's yard piloted by Trevor Patel challenged the winner strongly in the final furlong, but Prince Purple on this day kicked on gamely to score, while Safety had to rest content with the runner-up berth. 

Next astride another lesser fancied winner Race For The Stars from the stables of Robert Foley, Manjhi took the Robert ward to the front soon after the field of eight runners came under the starter's flag and never let the initiative slip comfortably pegging back the Ramanathan-trained Golden Marina who was seen finishing on fastest at end. Eddie The Eagle finished a suggestive third ahead of the favourite Promise Kept from Arjun Manglorkar's yard, who it must be mentioned failed to display her true potential, finishing five lengths behind the winner Race To The Stars. 

In line for a treble, Manjhi guiding the fortunes of another lesser fancied winner Berrettini from B Suresh's yard in the concluding event, the lower division of the Leading Owner Trophy, tracked  the leader Fun Storm for most part of the six furlongs sprint before hitting the front and quickly putting the race to bed in the final furlong. The favourite Andorra partnered by Umesh found the going tough and only managed to save money in place. 

Vivek G who is enjoying a good run at all the premier racing centres, booted home the on-money favourite All Stars to a popular victory in the S Parthasarathy Memorial Trophy. The winner after jumping out smartly showed a clean pair of heels to her five rivals after Win Win and Pluto were withdrawn. All Stars on the strength of this speedy performance is set to provide an encore if her connections choose to enter her again in the two extra day's racing before the curtain is brought down on what proved to be a successful season from the punters point of view, a good percentage of favourites nailing bold colours to the mast. 

The eight to one shot Dear Lady from Uthaiah's yard piloted by Umesh made every post a winning one in the Champion Trainer Trophy run over a distance of seven furlongs. The public rage Element from Sebastian's yard who was touted a `moral certainty' on the strength of her facile last start victory raced in patches and eventually finished a poor third to the disappointment of large following, who trusted the Sebastian ward to provide an encore. Trevor Patel who partnered the strongly backed favourite drew a blank failing to score on Safety, Promise Kept and Elfin Knight, three other strongly supported favourites.
