The Narredus have the knack to steal the show. And they did it again on Saturday. Father Satish Narredu recorded a grand treble, son Suraj recorded a double and his cousin Yash booted the winner of the plum event, the BTC Charitable Trust Trophy. 

Satish and Suraj combined to first strike it rich through Supreme Success in the Ich Dien Plate run over a distance of seven furlongs. Second in demand at the betting ring, Supreme Success, a maiden, failing to enter the winners' circle from his more than 10 earlier starts, finally produced a winning effort, pegging back the challenge of the public choice Royal Jewel. Suraj astride the winner produced a tactical effort while outwitting his 10 rivals, assuming command at the distance post before driving out the bred in the purple costly purchase, who started his career under the care of Aravind Ganapathy, but never lived up to expectations. Many old hats in the game including a couple of pedigree pundits opined that this bred in the purple gelding will make his presence felt against the best, but he just didn't have it in him to make it big and finally he shed his maiden status, winning in the lowest class. Vafadar from Sajid Qureshi's yard caught the eye, while finishing a creditable third and it will not be long before this Sajid trainee earns her winning bracket. 

Next, Satish proudly led in rank outsider Star Glory, who shocked her four rivals, including the even-money favourite Global Influence piloted by Suraj Narredu. The public choice closely tracked the two leaders, Star Glory and Ricardo for most part of the seven furlongs trip before Suraj packed punch on Global Influence in the `run in' home, but on this day, the hot favourite found Star Glory confidently piloted by Yash too hot to handle and had to rest content with the runner-up berth. Don Carlos from the stables of Sulaiman Attaollahi finished on strongly to take the third spot, while Ricardo, who had his fair share of supporters, who fancied him strongly, packed up at the top of the straight. 

In line for a treble, Satish Narredu sent out the debutant Shining Ways spot on for the Star Contender Plate run over a sprint. Quannah from Sulaiman's yard partnered by Trevor and her stablemate Burevestnik, initially headed the betting board before the supporters of Shining Ways also got busy in the betting ring. Burevestnik, it was who ended firm favourite on the sole count that he had two satisfactory runs under his belt, while Shining Ways and Quannah were making their debut. 

The speedy and the most experienced campaigner, Burevestnik partnered by Shreyas Singh hit the front and called the shots for most part of the trip before his stablemate Quannah and Shining Ways brilliantly piloted by Suraj stormed up on the wide outside to whizz past the two leaders and romp home in emphatic fashion. Regal Beauty from the stables of Darius Byramji piloted by Akshay Kumar flashed late on the scene to gain the runner-up berth and on the strength of this encouraging performance is certain to stand tall at the podium, when next saddled. Burevestnik again finished third, while Personal Legend completed the frame. 

The on-money favourite Solara brought the smile back on the face of Sulaiman, justifying her top billing in the concluding event, the Manitou Plate run over a sprint. Akshay Kumar astride the winner was in no spot of bother all through the six furlongs journey before cruising home nice and easy ahead of the second favourite Darrington and Hushed from Lokanath Gowda's yard, who it must be mentioned has improved most after the lung-opener on the first day of the summer season. 

Earlier, the Purshotham-trained Acantha opened the favourite before the Naryan Gowda camp hammered Art Of Romance down in the betting ring. The five-year-old mare ended a strong favourite to score, but in the hands of Kiran Rai, the strongly supported public choice charged home late and had to settle for the runner-up berth behind Acantha who streaked ahead at the distance post before Trevor drove him strongly to put the issue beyond doubt in the opening event of the day, the lower division of the Quasar Plate run over a distance of seven furlongs. The Aravind Ganapathy-trained Star Comet finished a game third and is one for the notebook. It is learnt that Art Of Romance burst her blood vessels during the race and it is needless to mention that cost her the race. 

The upper division of the event was claimed by another second favourite Baashha, who made every post a winning one in the hands of five-kilo claimer Sachin, snuffing out the challenge of the top favourite Exceed who at one stage looked good to power past Baashha, but that didn't happen much to the disappointment of the followers of form, the public choice lacking the gas in the tank and more importantly shying away from gaining control in the final furlong. Noble Cause from Dominic's yard finished a creditable third, while Amazing Stride flopped badly and eventually finished in the ruck.
