Pesi Shroff’s ward Alicia (C. Umesh astride) won the South India 1000 Guineas the first Classic of the season held here on Thursday (Jan. 6). The winner is owned by Mr & Mrs Cyrus Palia, Freny Palia & M/s. Five Stars Shipping Co.
Umesh, who confidently kept Alicia in the sixth position till the final turn, started manoeuvring from the outside in the straight. The filly responded well to the urgings and came up with giant strides to overtake Allamanda in the last 100m and win comfortably.
Trainer Deepesh Narredu and jockey Yash Narredu scored a treble on the day.
