MUMBAI.APRIL 5: Reflecting, under the guidance of jockey Rajeev Pandey, trounced the rivals and annexed The Mansoor Beg Trophy, 1400 metres, the main event of the 4th Special Race Day held on Wednesday at Mahalakshmi. She was followed by Prince Shazaan and Suratha.

The attendance continues to dwindle and the all weather track had further added salt to injury. Most of the race-goers are unable to place their bets with confidence.

The contenders who took lead from the word go return home victorious. Yewall, Damroo8217;s Gift and Whispering Rock were the such winners. Reflecting and Lumiere were alert enough to hit the front nearing 400 metres to home and registered easy victories. Bt the firm favourite Asprilla who was in the mid bunch at the bend could not gear up and lost a certain race.

By and large, the punters are deadly against for conducting racing on the all weather track. The need of the hour is to run the races only on the grass track.
