Mumbai Races: Doron Best For Feature

Pesi Shroff's pupil Doron, who secured a sixth-place finish in the previous race dominated by stable-mate Vincero, is poised for improvement over the extended seven-furlong stretch in the upcoming Hyderabad Race Club Trophy for maiden juveniles, to be held at the Mahalaxmi racecourse here on Thursday.

Piloted once again by PS Chouhan, Doron faces stiff competition from eight contenders, with Earth and Desert Classic emerging as formidable challengers.

Trevor Patel will steer the course for Sanjay Kolse's Earth, while S. Zervan takes the reins of Imtiaz Sait's Desert Classic.

A word of caution to race enthusiasts: the seven-event lineup appears quite unpredictable, with no clear frontrunner.

Exercise prudence and avoid high-risk wagers on any horse.

First race: 2.00PM
