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.

Review - Hyderabad
Orochi bags the Nizam’s Gold Cup (Gr. 3)
Orochi (China Visit–Colourpresentation) did his connections proud by claiming the Nizam’s Gold Cup (Gr. 3) with a brave front running effort in the hands of D. Gnaneshwar.
With the penalties for classic or graded race winners being quite stiff, the Nizam’s Gold Cup has generally favoured those horses who have not been in the winner’s bracket in big races. As a result Orochi was set to carry just fifty two kilos against the likes of the in-form Arabian Knight and Diabolical, both of whom toted sixty kilos on their backs.

Attractress corners the glory in fillies classic
Attractress (Dilshaan – Ahliyat) kept the Hyderabad flag flying high with a powerful stretch run to win the Deccan Bookmaker’s Association Fillies Trial Stakes ahead of the more fancied outstation challengers, Inspiring Trust, Violet Honey and Queen’s Guest.
The Fillies Trial Stakes run at Hyderabad has not yet been accorded the status of a graded race and it is about time that the authorities changed this situation for this race as well as its twin, the Colts Trial. These races are considered classics by the entire industry and they are far more competitive than some other graded races run at this centre.

Succeeding Star rises to Colts victory
The Hyderabad Colts Trial Stakes turned out to be an edge of the seat thriller with four horses battling it out in the final stages before the Darius Byramji trained Succeeding Star (Mr. Mellon – Star Successor) edged out Reconnect, Sugar Ray and Star Presentation for the top prize.

Arabian Knight
takes President of India Gold Cup (Gr. 1) in style
Less fancied than he should have been after his lacklustre performance in the Nizam’s Gold Cup, Dr. Vijay Mallya and Arjun Sajnani’s Arabian Knight (Brave Act – Arabian Rose) left the field struggling in his wake as he smashed the track record to win the 2400-metre President Of India Gold Cup (Gr.1) in fine style.
