LAHORE, July 23: Five-year-old chestnut gelding, Time Is Gold, who is in top form, should complete a hat trick by winning the feature event of the Lahore Gymkhana races at the Racecourse Wednesday.
Time Is Gold is vying against nine rivals in the fifth and last race of the day, the Sheikhupura Plate class VIII division V handicap race to be contested over 800 metres.
After back to back wins on June 27 and July 3 this gelding, Time Is Gold had been promoted two divisions , from division VII to division V and though the company is stiffer this time he should win again. His closest rivals could be two geldings Flying Fin and Pistol Pete owned by the same owner.
The supporting event, the Sheikhupura Plate class VII division VI to be contested over the identical distance looks to be an open affair. Out of the eleven contestants at least four are in chance to win this event. They are: Dhandhana, Royal Man, Madam Lorina and Cherry’s Own. They have some notable running in their inconsistent performance.
Bay gelding Golden Voice in the third race and bay filly Flying Legs in the second race seem good in their respective engagements. Both have won in their previous outings and should repeat their performance and make it two in-a-row, though the fields are big and stiff this time. All races will be contested over the sprinting distance of 800 metres. The first race will be held at 3.00 pm.
