FROM STAR RACER Published 20.01.01, 12:00 AM
Calcutta, Jan. 20 :    Calcutta, Jan. 20:  Calcutta, Jan. 20: Displaying his past sparkles, Starry Flag - the oldest horse in the field of seven - gave a galloping lesson to his young rivals as he walked away with the 1,200m HSBC Cup today. The six-year-old trained by Harvinder Singh Bath was inspired by jockey Manohar Singh to come up with a brilliant run from the wrong-end of the field. The Darius Byramji-trio of Soviet Song, So Royal and Artwork brought about a big disappointment. While the odds-on favourite was third behind Bountiful Gesture, the other two failed miserably. The three horses had consumed most of the betting. RESULTS 1. Ramkirpal Plate 1,200m: (4-3-1-5) Andrada (C. Alford) 1; Aherlow (A. P. Singh) 2; Automatic (Amil) 3; Victoria Rose (Rabani) 4.
