Calcutta: Trainer Vijay Singh's piping hot favourite, Fly Like The Wind (Christopher Alford-up), just about managed to beat the Javed Khan-trained charge, Beyond Expectation (P. Kamlesh) in the Almanac Handicap, on Tuesday. Khan's tactics of using his other ward, War Games, to ensure a fast run race, nearly paid off as the favourite, found the going tough in the home straight.
