Multifaceted underlines his class in Sprinters’ Cup with an encore

0

Multifaceted, the seven-year-old bay gelding by Multidimensional (ex Dhaawiah), demolished the opposition to win the Grade 1 Zavaray S. Poonawalla Sprinters’ Cup in great style.

Trained to the minute by Darius Byramji, and given a faultless ride by jockey P. Trevor, Multifaceted, who is owned by the Sri Lanka-based Edwards family, had over two lengths to spare to Iron Age with Ashwa Bravo in third.

It was a dazzling display of speed by the gelding who thus become the seventh horse in the 43 year-old history of the Sprinters Cup to win it back-to-back.

His victory earned the Usha Stud, where he is bred, a mind-boggling 17th victory since it was first run.

Forty-five minutes later, Theon, a son of Multidimensional out of Fontainbleu, gave the Usha Stud a fabulous double when he won the Farmfields Stayers’ Cup by 2 lengths from a gallant mare named Speedster, who in turn was a neck clear of Faith of Success in third spot.

Owned by Ms. Ameeta Mehra and Mrs. Liane Luthria, Theon, who has been trained to perfection by Pesi Shroff, was ridden by veteran P.S. Chouhan who like vintage wine gets better with age.
