Calcutta: The Classic filly Sanskara was cleared by the RCTC starter to contest Sunday’s Derby. The unruly behaviour of the filly had prompted the sta-rter to withdraw her from the Oaks’ line-up, and also revoke her ‘gate’ certificate. On Monday, the Bharath Singh-trainee behaved in an orderly manner at the gate practice. The following horses were seen going at easy paces, on Tuesday, in preparation for the Derby day races:Outer sand track
