With this issue of Racing World we complete our 6th year of publication, covering the exciting world of Equine sport – horse racing, polo and other equestrian events. Having moved into unchartered territory in August 2003, we are happy to have established ourselves in this niche market providing enthusiasts of the sport with comprehensive information, detailed reviews, timely previews, profile interviews, news and views, breeding and pedigree updates, racing statistics and lots of interesting racing information. Polo has been an intrinsic part of Racing World and we have tried to cover as many events as possible during the polo season. Over the past six years we have had writers from around the globe show interest in writing for Racing World and this has added a new dimension with an international perspective. Promoting all aspects of equine sport is our objective and we hope that those connected with the sport will contribute with ideas that will invoke more interest to those already involved with the sport as well as to attract new entrants to the game. We take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, advertisers, subscribers, contributors and the racing fan in general who have supported us this far. As we commence our 7th year of publication we look forward to your continued support.

Razeen's Classic Century
RAZEEN’S CLASSIC CENTURY
Set Alight’s smashing victory in the Kingfisher Bangalore Derby (Gr.1) provided Razeen, her sire, with many more feathers to adorn a cap which is in danger of being submerged by the size of the plume ! She broke the track record which stood to the credit of her own paternal half-brother Star Supreme; hers was the widest winning margin in the race; and, she was a record seventh winner of the race to have been sired by Razeen.
It was, however, her previous race -- the Fillies’ Trial Stakes (Gr.1) - in which she enabled Razeen to reach his century of Classic wins and thus get to a significant landmark. It’s the first time in the annals of the Indian breeding history that a stallion’s progeny has won a hundred Classics. Set Alight, it would seem, was destined to bestow the honour on her sire because it was Yana who actually went past the post for the hundredth time in a Classic, only to be disqualified subsequently for testing positive later.
