Pune Derby Day Record Timings

By Golimar | 13-Oct-2025

Most of them didn't notice that Shambala & Zacharias have clocked record timings in their respective distances i.e., 1200 & 2000 metres.

I don't know which record timings are you referring to? Enigma hold the record for 1200 and Zucherelli for 2000. 

I don't know if there are some other records maintained. 

Also would like to share something with you. Timings are subject to going the trimming of grass, watering and more importantly pace of the race. 

Legend of Indian racing the great R.R Byramji once said in an interview ";What timings and record timings are we talking of??? The quality of turf as compared to 70/80's has changed drastically. Offcourse horses will run faster with less grass. What about their endurance? How many races do they run and perform? Why do horses have tendon issues so regularly?"

And he was right. So let's not decide the class of a horse only on its timing.

Brother,  Zacharias Iz A Very Good Horse No Doubt. Luckily I Fancied Him Strongly. 

BUT

FYNBOSS Iz An EXCEPTIONAL  FILLY.  If She Iz FIT n WELL / MAINTAIN  HER  FORM.  NO ONE  I  REPEAT  NO  ONE  CAN  BEAT  HER  In Her AGE GROUP  And  Even The  OLDER  HORSES.  I  DON'T   SEE  ANYONE   COMING  NEAR  TO  HER.

Yes, I was looking at the time clock when Vivek G punched his fist in the air, smelling there was no danger in winning the Derby. This animal will do better than 'Fynbos' in the future.
