All eyes will be on the Villoo C. Poonawalla Indian Derby weekend as the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) gets ready to stage a glittering racing carnival with the marquee race to be run at 5.45 p.m. on February 1. The weekend offers stakes exceeding ₹6 crore, highlighted by a Derby purse of ₹4 crore (with the winner taking home ₹2.4 crore). A decisive winner of the Bangalore Summer Derby and the Indian Oaks this month, she continues to impress in her morning trials. Trainer Adhirajsingh Jodha, still in pursuit of his first Indian Derby success, will be doubly represented. Baychimo, winner of the Indian 2000 Guineas and the Ruia Cup, remains in excellent order.
