The race day programme at the Mysore track will be conducted with false rails positioned approximately 4.5 metres wide from the 1,600-metre mark to the winning post. While the Sprint Championship serves as the highlight of the afternoon, a full card of seven races has been scheduled to provide a comprehensive day of competitive thoroughbred action.
Supporting Card and Race Highlights
Beyond the feature event, the day includes two divisions of the Justice P. Medappa Memorial Trophy. In the first division, set for 3:00 p.m., Mystikos is tipped to perform well, while the second division, scheduled for 5:00 p.m., features a competitive field where Live The Dream is expected to challenge for the top spot. The Bottolanda Mitto Chengappa Memorial Trophy, a 1,600-metre contest for horses rated 80 and above, features Touch Of Grey, who is currently favoured to lead the field home.
The opening race of the day, the Chirapunji Plate, kicks off at 2:00 p.m. with a large field of twelve runners, where Teresa is the primary selection. This is followed by the Autumn Blue Plate at 2:30 p.m., where Blazing Star is expected to feature prominently. The afternoon concludes with the Mysore City Trophy at 4:30 p.m., a 1,400-metre race where Night Rider is currently identified as the one to watch.
