Bangalore: Gypsy Magic may be hard to down in the 18-horse field vying for the 2,000m Kingfisher Derby Bangalore, the main event in Sunday’s race card and the star attraction of the summer season. The Placerville-Stunning daughter had placed a fair second to Jacqueline in the 1,600m Fillies Trial Stakes in spite of injudicious riding of Wayne Smith. With the champion jockey Richard Hughes in the saddle, the S. Padmanabhan-trained filly is sure to come good over the Derby trip.
