MUMBAI: When hundreds of running enthusiasts line up for the half-marathon event of the Tata Mumbai Marathon on Sunday, only one among them will be a man who makes horses run for money. It will be the 14th time in Malesh Narredu's two-year running career that he will be participating in a long-distance running event.
A big name in Indian horse racing with an Indian Derby crown, both as a jockey and a trainer, Narredu was trying to shed a few kilos on a doctor's advice two years ago when a long-distance running trainer Suraj Chavan spotted him at the Mahalaxmi racecourse.
