Calcutta: Jockey C. Alford was in his elements, booting home three winners on Thursday. His afternoon’s tally included the 1,200m King’s Academy Cup which was claimed by trainer Imtiaz Sait’s heavily fancied runner, Fort Knox. Indian Quest, another of Sait’s strongly fancied runner, also scored in the hands of the champion jockey. Alford had begun his day with an easy victory on Eternal Spirit trained by H.S.
