MUMBAI, DECEMBER 19: A qualitative and heartening display of conquering strides elevated Smart Chieftan to the top after his unextended victory in The McDowell Indian 2000 Guineas (Grade I) 1600m, the second classic of the season run at Mahalakshmi today.
It was certain that the charge of Karan Singh running in the colours of Dr MAM Ramaswamy would claim the rich event, but he literally reduced it to a one-horse race. On this showing he is sure to annex The Indian Derby. Secret Treasure, Alderney and Acrobat filled the frame in this order.
It was shocking to note that the stands had a deserted look on such a big day.
