Shub Shubh, the 6-4 course-favourite in a big field of 12 runners, had a comfortable measure of his rivals in the 1,200m Champion Sprinters Cup, a ‘terms’ race for four-year-old and upwards, which was the star attraction at the Delhi races held on Thursday. Trained by I.S. Parmar, apprentice jockey Irfan Ali partnered the four-year-old colt, by Hymn out of Miss Discreet, to a length victory over Senegal.RESULTS
