Touch Of Grey lives up to his billing in the Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Golf Club Mysore 2000 Guineas

S. Narredu-trained Touch Of Grey (Suraj Narredu up) won the Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Golf Club Mysore 2000 Guineas, the chief event of the races held here on Friday (Oct 6). The winner is owned by M/s. Balam Mohla, Anil Saraf & Apana Subaiya P.

Suraj confidently kept his gutsy colt in handy fourth position till the bend before manoeuvring his mount from inside in the home stretch. Touch Of Grey responded well to the reminders, overtook the leader West Brook passing the 400m, and went on to win in a facile manner.
