Calcutta: Intermittent rain and the slushy race track took its toll on Wednesday, the opening day of the monsoon season. Only one favourite managed to score in a card of six events, leaving the jackpot pool, amounting to Rs 1,38,930, unsolved after the third leg. The fourth leg which happened to be the main event, the Alamito Cup, was claimed by Javed Khan’s less-fancied runner, Diomedes — ridden by apprentice Imran Khan.RESULTS
