The Story in Brief
Allez L’Etoile, ridden by P. Trevor and trained by Narendra Lagad, won the Teena Katrak Memorial Independence Million on Saturday. Caradoc finished second, followed by Savage Peacock and Little John. The 2,000-metre race was the day’s main event at the races here.
Ekatarina, backed after finishing second in her previous start, was the favourite but did not finish among the first four. Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha recorded three wins, while apprentice jockey Ramswarup scored a treble to take his tally to 21 winners. He will now be entitled to a 2.5-kg allowance. La Dolce Vita was declared a non-starter.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that Ekatarina’s defeat was a shock, or that the favourite simply failed. The result offers a more useful reading: Allez L’Etoile won by 7¼ lengths, while the race card itself had presented a competitive 15-runner field. Betting expectations are not race results. The next test is whether Allez L’Etoile can reproduce that margin against stronger opposition.
