"Super Storm, ridden brilliantly by J Fortune and trained by S Narredu, took home the McDowell Signature Premier Indian Derby (Grade I), the premier event in the Indian racing calender, here on Sunday.
Super Storm, which lost out to Red Baron in the Kimmane Bangalore Derby on Republic Day, oozed class as it romped home by a length and a quarter, relegating local hope Wind Stream (M Dwyer up) to second place at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse.
The victory in two minutes and 31.83 seconds thus made Super Storm richer by Rs 1,80,00,000 while Wind Stream won Rs 57,00,000.
