Mumbai, October 19: Perhaps the finest thoroughbred in the country at the moment, 3-year-old filly Set Alight had vertually no opposition in the Pune Premium.com Million, 1the feature event of the Pune Races held on Sunday. As expected, the daughter of Razeen had a stroll in the park and came back home with complete authority.
Since the jockey-turned-trainer Pesi Shroff schooled filly’s participation had already scared away many contenders, no bookmaker was ready to offfer substantial amount for her win.
