Today jockey C Umesh scored a quadruple in Chennai races in a seven-race card. And in the remaining three races, he came second twice and third in the other race. What a feat it is!

These days Chennai races seem to have gone up in quality, or that is what this performance by a rider, who doesn't enjoy the clout of powers-that-be in Chennai race club.

The leading stable, with both Foley and Suresh trying their best to revive the past glory, is unable to remain in the limelight.

Umesh appears to have clearly become the "Punter's Darling' in Chennai and many intelligent punters, who have severely burnt their fingers in other race centres, must be feeling relieved playing Umesh.
