It’s Miracle vs Zuccarelli in Indian Derby

Ikram Khan | NT

Mumbai: Unbeaten from her eight starts, wonder filly Miracle from the stables of champion trainer Pesi Shroff to be piloted by Pradeep Chouhan is set to win the richest and most glamorous event in the Indian racing calendar, the Kingfisher Ultra Indian Derby, to be run over a distance of 2400 metres at the Mahalaxmi racecourse here on Super Sunday.

The main threat to the piping hot favourite will emanate from her stablemate Zuccarelli, who won the Bangalore Derby on Republic day in resplendent style and the top Bengaluru challenger A Star Is Born. The former on the strength of his Bangalore Derby success and the fact that the colt has improved most, holds the edge and is set to run Miracle close.

In the added attraction, the Eclipse Stakes Of India event, the Karthik Ganapathy -trained Juliette looks outstanding and is recommended as the day’s best betting proposition.
