Irfan Ghatala-schooled Sun Kingdom, at the hands of Suraj Narredu, showed his class by clinching the HDIL Bangalore 2000 Guineas (Grade II) over a mile, the plum event of Saturday’s races.
The race began with The Darling Boy (Md Shoaib up) jumping into a big lead with second favourite Magisterial, ridden by A Imran Khan, and Silvester de Sousa-steered Braavo in second and third about eight lengths behind. The race bore the same pattern till the straight, when Braavo and CD Hayes-steered Aprillia took up the running.
Braavo looked to have the upper hand and jumped into the sole lead, and looked to be headed for a win with Sun Kingdom bogged down in traffic. But with little over a furlong to go, Sun Kingdom found some space and put in a brilliant burst of speed to ease pastand win the race by a length.
