A highly competitive field of 15 runners will line up at the starting gates to vie for glory in the prestigious JSK1 Indian 1000 Guineas, the headline event on the third day of the Mumbai racing season.
This eagerly anticipated race will unfold on Sunday at the iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse, promising thrilling action and elite performances.
The race, exclusively for fillies, will cover a challenging distance of eight furlongs. Among the contenders, Jade and Psychic Star, both trained by the renowned Pesi Shroff, emerge as the standout favourites.
Psychic Star, who recently clinched a commanding victory in the HPSL Golconda 1000 Guineas in Hyderabad, will undoubtedly be one of the leading contenders, bringing her proven form and grit to the track.
Adding intrigue to the competition is Emphatic, the formidable winner of the South India 1000 Guineas (Gr 2) held in Chennai. Known for her tenacity and ability to handle high-pressure situations, Emphatic has the potential to disrupt the favourites and play the role of the dark horse in this high-stakes race.
As the first Classic event of the season at Mahalaxmi, the JSK1 Indian 1000 Guineas has already generated immense excitement among racing enthusiasts. With a star-studded field, historic venue, and the promise of intense rivalry, this race is set to be a highlight of the racing calendar.
