Calcutta: As expected, three-year-old horses’ myth was bursted by their experienced rivals in most of Tuesday’s six-event card. The youngsters also disappointed in the Pentagon Cup, the main event, which was claimed by trainer Javed Khan’s 7-1 shot, Exxin (Shailesh Shinde-up), a four-year-old. The trainer-jockey combo’s, another outsider, Aamar Kaku, lifted the 1,400m Swatantrata Handicap. The afternoon also witnessed trainer Jasbir Singh reeling off a priced treble through, Successful, Shivalik Shakti and Vaani. As a result of this, the day’s jackpot pool found no takers.RESULTS
