LAHORE, Sept 10: Three-year-old chestnut filly, High Dream, looks better placed in classification as well as handicap to lift the September Cup to be gone over 1100m during the second Lahore Winter Meeting at the Racecourse on Sunday.
A card of seven events has been drawn for the day. Five races will be held before the evening while two will be held after dusk in floodlights. The first race will be held at 3.30pm. The filly, High Dream, is contesting in the sixth race in a field of fourteen runners barring last-minute withdrawals. The way she ran in the Raiwind Plate, a class IV division II handicap race, behind Lucky Murad on Aug 28 she should prove herself better than Aya Chandiwala, Eid, Puma The Great and Puma Princess. After that running High Dream was promoted to division I, but again demoted to original division II, where she ran second.
Chestnut colt, Royal Command, who registered two facile victories on the trot will be going all out to make it three in-a-row in the September Plate class IV division III. Lucky Mayla and Blu’s Wendy are the next best in the same order.
Bay colt Storm Warning, who won a good race on Aug 14 should make it two in-a-row. The colt is contesting in the seventh and last race, the Sama Satta Plate class V division I over 1100m in the fifth race of the day’s card. Little Hut and Green Hill will be his challengers.
Meanwhile, the Lahore Race Club has decided to continue holding a couple of races in floodlights every day so that the horses get accustomed to racing in lights as well as the race-goers. However, formal inauguration of the night racing will be held some time later. The following are the fields and our selections.
