MUMBAI, Dec 3: Top-weighted Love for Love under the guidance of jockey C Rajendra convincingly won The Thumbelina Stakes, 1100 m, the main attraction of the first Special Race Day held on Thursday at Mahalakshmi. Addab was fully stretched and finished three lengths behind the winner.

By and large, two years old Pescara (The Desert Rose Plate) was considered as the best betting proposition of the day but returned home bleeding as her blood-vessel was broken during the race and her best could not be extracted.
