MUMBAI
Trainer Rajesh Narredu’s classic colt Synthesis, ridden by Suraj Narredu, won the HPSL Indian 2000 Guineas (Gr. 1), the stellar attraction of the Sunday’s (Dec. 24) races here. The winner is owned by Miss. Ameeta Mehra, Mr. Balam Mohla, So Blest Trading Co. Pvt. Ltd. & Mr. Anil Saraf.
Suraj kept his mount in the fourth position till the heads turned for home. When Suraj gave him a couple of reminders in the straight, the son of Speaking Of Which–Sana came up with rapid strides on the outside to win by a comfortable margin.
Aman Hussain, who got his trainer’s license only recently after the untimely demise of his father Altaf Hussain, stole the limelight by saddling the first two winners of his career on Sunday.
