The Hindu
Trainer L.V.R. Deshmukh’s champion filly Lombardy, ridden by P. Trevor, won the HRC Golconda Derby Stakes (Gr. 1), the blue riband of the Hyderabad Winter Season here on Sunday (Feb.14). The winner is owned by M/s. Poonawalla Racing & Breeding Pvt. Ltd. represented by Ms. Simone Z. Poonawalla & Mr. Rishad N. Pandole & Mr. Aditya P. Thackersey.
Trevor, who had confidently kept this filly by Letir Mor out of Lombardia last till the 800m marker, gradually improved her to sixth position as the field entered the home straight. Lombardy produced an imposing gallop at the business-end to keep the late-finishing Roaring Tiger at bay and win by a length.
