Champion jockey Suraj Narredu reached yet another pinnacle in his illustrious riding career by securing his 100th Classic race victory. This remarkable feat took place as he guided Long Lease, trained by his brother Rajesh, to victory in the prestigious Calcutta Oaks at Kolkata on Tuesday, December 26.
The 38-year-old seasoned saddle artist earned his licence as a professional jockey in July 2002 at the Bangalore Turf Club. He previously achieved a significant milestone in 2019 when he notched up his 2000th career win. His journey began with a Classic victory astride Coral Gables at the Hyderabad 2000 Guineas.
Recently, this trainer-jockey duo won the Indian 2000 Guineas through Synthesis on Sunday (Dec. 24) at Mumbai.
