Owned by Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Palia, Timeless Vision clocked a winning time of 1m 05.98s.

While Ayushman entered the race as the favourite, it was Timeless Vision who ultimately dominated the field to claim the main event.
Strong Performances Across the Card
The day’s proceedings featured several other notable victories across the seven-race schedule. In the Osman Sagar Trophy (Div. I), Digital Empress, ridden by P. Ajeeth Kumar and trained by L.V.R. Deshmukh, proved too strong for the competition, winning by 3/4 of a length. Earlier in the day, the second division of the same trophy was claimed by Aprameya, who justified her status as the favourite by winning comfortably under jockey Neeraj Rawal.
The Kamareddy Trophy saw a tactical display from jockey Suraj Narredu, who guided Ojas Maximus to a win over Cosmic Gift and Home Run. Meanwhile, the Armagnac Plate was secured by First Kiss, with Mukesh Kumar in the saddle, finishing 3-1/4 lengths clear of Inderdhanush. The Own Opinion Plate, which concluded the day’s action, went to Sporting Touch, ridden by Sonu Kumar, who finished 1-1/4 lengths ahead of Ashwa Vivegam.
Competitive Results in the Democracy Plate
The Democracy Plate (Div. II) provided one of the closest finishes of the afternoon. High Speed Dive, ridden by Rafique Sk., edged out the competition in a thrilling contest, winning by 3/4 of a length. The field was tightly packed, with Glorious Power, Star Of Opera, and Dubai Touch finishing in quick succession behind the winner. The victory for High Speed Dive was particularly notable given the narrow margins separating the top four finishers, with only a head separating the third and fourth-placed horses.
As the winter season gets underway, the results from the opening day reflect a mix of favoured runners delivering on expectations and outsiders finding their form. With the initial races now complete, the focus shifts to the upcoming fixtures of the Hyderabad racing calendar.
