All set for the Villoo C. Poonawalla Indian Oaks on Jan. 14

The Villoo C. Poonawalla Indian Oaks (Gr. 1), popularly known as the ‘Ladies Derby’, will be staged at the Mahalaxmi race course on January 14 (Sunday). The race, carrying a purse of ₹5 million, is reserved for four-year-old fillies and will be run over 2400m.

There will be free entry for ladies along with exciting prizes from Moha, Kiro and Koko. Bombay Parade is organising a flea market at the members enclosure with food, beverages, merchandise stalls and live music.

Irishman Oisin Murphy, who won the Indian 1000 Guineas, will guide the fortunes of trainer Pesi Shroff’s champion filly Jendayi in a field of five. Jendayi, winner of the Indian 1000 Guineas, is in great heart and should score an encore.
