Pune: The Indian St Leger, the longest race of Pune's monsoon season, will showcase a formidable field of thoroughbreds on its seventh day at the Pune Race Course on Sunday. Notable contenders include Arrived, Caccini, and Fynbos, with the 2,800-meter staying test expected to put their stamina and racecraft to the test. Arrived, a three-year-old from Adhirajsingh Jodha's stable, finished second in last year's Calcutta St Leger, indicating his ability to compete at this prestigious event.
Fynbos, a winner of last year's Villoo C. Poonawalla Indian Derby (Gr.1) in Mumbai, brings significant class to the contest and will be a focus for opposition. Caccini, trained by Karthik Ganapathy and ridden by A. Sandesh, finished fifth in the Zavaray S. Poonawalla Bangalore St Leger and aims to redeem herself in Pune, potentially playing a crucial role if she performs at her peak.
With strong stayers, a classic winner, and horses with experience in the demanding distance, the Indian St Leger is poised to be a highlight among the nine races on Sunday's card.
