Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha’s Dyf, piloted by Akshay Kumar, won the Idar Gold Trophy, in a record time of 2m 27.84s, the feature event of Tuesday’s (Sept. 5) races. Chopin set a new course record for 1600m, by winning the Chandrayaan-3 Landing On The Moon Trophy in 1m, 36.02s.
The fourth race was delayed by half an hour as punters staged an aggressive protest in the paddock because they were unhappy with the photo-finish result of the third race. Racegoers were not satisfied with the results declared by the judge after watching the photo finish picture where Aloysia was placed first and Winter Agenda second. But when the mirror image was displayed on the CCTV by the RWITC, the punters were convinced and the fourth race went through.
