Trainer M.K. Jadhav’s filly Kavya, ridden by David Allan, won the Indian 1000 Guineas (Gr. 1), the first Indian Classic of the Mumbai racing season here on Sunday (Dec. 14). The winner is owned by Mr. Prashant Nagar rep. SKJ Thoroughbreds Pvt. Ltd.
Allan settled the daughter of Win Legend-Maun Vrat in the fourth position till the bend. As the field straightened for home, Kavya quickly took over the running and staved off a late challenge from odds-on favourite Fynbos.
It was an emotional moment for trainer Jadhav while receiving the trophy as the date marked 55 years since he obtained his trainer’s licence at the RWITC.
