MUMBAI: The ‘Juvenile Derby’-the Poonawalla Breeders’ Multi-Million-is feature of Sunday’s Mumbai races to be held in the evening and a total of 16 juveniles are in the fray.
With still wet behind the ears runners vying for top honours, the PBMM has always been a graveyard for form. However, Prokofiev, Red Bishop, Miracle Star, and Big Bay appeal the most.
With English jockey David Allan in the saddle, Prokofiev is likely to win as David has been the most successful foreign rider ever at the Mahalaxmi racecourse.
