Trainer Irfan Ghatala’s Queen Envied ridden by P. Trevor won the Golconda Oaks, the main attraction of Monday’s (Jan. 2) races. The winner is owned by M/s. Arun Alagappan Racing LLP & Sans Craintes Stud Farm Pvt. Ltd. Trainer R.H. Sequeira and jockey Akshay Kumar scored a treble each.
Trevor confidently kept the daughter of Lord Admiral-Be Envied last till the bend. As the field entered the home stretch, Hoping Cloud who took charge in the straight appeared to have the winning post in his sights but despite veering out in the last 100m, Ghatala’s queen filly moved with gigantic strides to snatch the verdict by a whisker.
