Shroff-ward Astral Flash grabs main event in stirring style

Bangalore results

Appu-ridden Ashkan, Another Destiny steered by Gautam Raj and second favourite Einstein (Suraj Narredu up) were quickly off the blocks, with Astral Flash bunched up in the middle.

At the straight, Astral Flash put on a burst of speed and left the rest of the horses in his wake to win easily by over four lengths.

Atlantus, ridden by K Chethana, and trained by Sharat Kumar, finished second. Einstein, trained by Eshwer took third place while S Selvaraj-steered Soberano and trained by Irfan Ghatala finished in fourth.
