The Story in Brief
Corinthian, owned by C. Aryama Sundaram and ridden by P. Trevor, won the Colonel B. Santosh Babu Memorial Trophy, the feature event at Hyderabad on Tuesday. Trained by D. Netto, the favourite beat Wolf Creek by three lengths. Jockeys Akshay Kumar and Trevor each scored a treble on the card, while trainer Magan Singh Parmar saddled his 100th winner at the Hyderabad Race Course when his horse Ek won the fifth race.
The Indian Opinion
Race results are straightforward, but the sport often triggers debate around animal welfare and elitism. Yet for owners, trainers, and stable hands, these races are a livelihood and a passion. Parmar’s 100th winner is a milestone of dedication, not excess. The real test for Indian racing is whether it can enforce stricter welfare norms without shrinking the sport’s appeal. Can the industry prove it cares for its horses as much as for the trophies?
