Calcutta, March, 18 :    Calcutta, March, 18:  When Touch of Silver necked out Alamito in the 2,800m Calcutta St. Leger last Saturday, the Daniel David-trained filly only went on to confirm that she was a great fighter. A winner of four of the five local classics that she had contested, the Serious Spender-Corviglia daughter had come out victorious by narrow margin on each of the two occasions she was pitted against her male counterparts. Record books will never have a mention of her courageous performance in the Leger but those who were privy to Touch of Silver's plight before she made the line-up and her subsequent triumph may always talk about her effort. She was off feed for couple of days before the big event. Constipation had compounded her problems. But her ring odds never budged from 2-10 indicating total respect from the layers of odds. The neck verdict was however, a bit flattering for the runner-up from Bharath Singh's yard. Although, it looked like a clever ploy when Cristopher gave a long breather to the leader Alamito nearing the 800m marker thus dropped to the rear. Cristopher tried take the winner by surprise with his renewed effort in the last furlong of the race. However, Prakash had much up his sleeve as he accomplished the task with hands and heels only. Prakash was also seen at advantage on Alborada and River Melody - his other fancied runners on a day that was otherwise ruled by outsiders. In fact lesser fancied horses have been ruling the roost for some time now. Last Wednesday jockeys Imran Chisty and Asghar were in luck with a double apiece through friendless winners.
