All set for Trilegal Indian 1000 Guineas to be run on Dec. 17

The Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) is all set to host the Indian 1000 Guineas, the first Indian Classic of the this Mumbai racing season, at Mahalaxmi race course on Sunday (Dec. 17).

According to RWITC records, this race has been a tradition since its debut on January 1, 1943 and is exclusively for fillies to be run over a mile. 

Trilegal, a distinguished law firm, is backing this thrilling race. Eight fillies will vie for a total prize of ₹5 million, with the winner taking home ₹3 million.

Pesi Shroff’s Jendayi, guided by a Irish saddle artist Oisin Murphy, is the prime contender. Jendayi, who won the General Rajendrasinhji Million at Pune, is in good shape as evidenced by her preparations and should repeat.

West Brook from the Bengaluru-based trainer S.S. Attaollahi’s stables, which recently ran a close second in the Golconda 1000 Guineas at Hyderabad, may pose a threat. Trainer M.K. Jadhav’s Miss American Pie, unbeaten in her last three starts, may upset.
