Heartfelt congratulations to trainer KSV Prasad Raju for achieving his 1000th victory yesterday. He is the son of former trainer KRK Raju, who had a commendable career. KSV has outshone his father by securing classic wins. His inaugural classic winner was Ruby Queen (Chiina Visit - Maribella), who triumphed in the Deccan 1000gn and Oaks during the 2007-08 Hyderabad season. Notably, this was also the first classic winner for the sire, China Visit. To date, his finest horse is undoubtedly Lady In Lace (Chinese Whisper - Sea Spray), who has won the Pune Derby, Deccan Fillies Championship Stakes, and the Golconda 1000gn. She also finished second in both the Indian Derby and Deccan Derby. Wishing him all the best as he continues to reach new heights.
