Moonveil Claims Coromandel Gromor Deccan Fillies Championship

Moonveil delivered a commanding performance to secure victory in the Coromandel Gromor Deccan Fillies Championship, the headline event of the Hyderabad Monsoon Races held on Sunday, August 30. Ridden by P. Trevor and trained by S.S. Attaollahi, the filly navigated the 1,600-meter race with precision to claim the season's first classic.

The race saw Moonveil settle comfortably in third position during the early stages. As the field rounded the bend and entered the final straight, Trevor asked for an increased effort. The filly responded to the challenge, maintaining her momentum to fend off a determined late surge from Madante and Vortex, ultimately crossing the line to secure the win.

A Successful Day for Trainer S.S. Attaollahi

The victory for Moonveil, owned by a consortium including M/s. Blazing Saddles (PF), M/s. Maloji Baburao Bhosale, Gaurav Gopalkrishan Sethi, and Sulaiman S. Attaollahi, was the highlight of a productive day for the trainer. Earlier in the card, Attaollahi also tasted success in the Carter Princess Plate, where his charge Theos, also partnered by Trevor, claimed victory over a distance of 1,800 meters.
