Something Royal obliges in the Nilgiris Derby Stakes

Mr. A.C. Muthiah’s Something Royal, piloted by P. Sai Kumar, won the Nilgiris Derby Stakes (1,600m), the last Classic of the season here on Sunday (May 7). J. Sebastian trains the winner. Jockey C. Umesh won three races on the day.

Though the running of the derby was soft because of an overnight drizzle affecting the track, it did not stop the 1000 Guineas-winning filly from adding another Classic to its list of triumphs.
