Zarigana Awarded Group 1 Win in Stewards room A dramatic stewards’ decision overturned the Group 1 Longchamp Classic result, demoting Shes Perfect—initially declared the winner—and awarding victory to Zarigana. The interference involved Shes Perfect veering out and affecting rivals, including Exactly and fast-finishing Zarigana, prompting jockey Mickael Barzalona’s successful objection. The verdict crushed hopes of a first Group 1 win for trainer Charlie Fellowes and a career revival for jockey Kieran Shoemark, who had recently lost his role with the Gosdens. Shoemark remained gracious, praising Shes Perfect and vowing to bounce back. The reversal was a bittersweet triumph for the Aga Khan’s team, marking their 100th Group/Grade 1 winner since 1960—a milestone cherished by Princess Zahra Aga Khan in memory of her late father. Trainer Francis Graffard, while empathetic toward Fellowes, celebrated the overdue win for Zarigana, a blue-blooded filly by Siyouni out of a line tracing to Zarkava. Fellowes hinted at a possible appeal, expressing surprise at the French stewards’ call, saying the result would likely have stood in England. Both fillies could meet again at Royal Ascot, potentially setting up a gripping third showdown. Click on the link to watch the video.   Link

Veteran jockey Mohammed Shafiq, once celebrated as one of Indian racing’s most powerful and instinctive finishers, passed away in Bangalore on Sunday after a prolonged illness. He was 76. A familiar and formidable figure on the racing circuit, Shafiq carved out a distinguished career marked by breathtaking late runs and impeccably judged rides that often left crowds in awe. He remained a force in the saddle until the mandatory retirement age of 55. Even after stepping away from professional riding, his passion for the sport remained undiminished. Shafiq had expressed a strong desire to continue riding to support his son, trainer Sajid Qureshi, but the regulations laid down by the Turf Authorities of India denied him the opportunity. During his illustrious career, Shafiq captured numerous classic victories, the pinnacle perhaps being his memorable partnership with the brilliant filly Own Beauty, who, under his expert guidance, won several classics. Another indelible moment came aboard Mauritius Pearl, when he famously dead-heated with Skyline (ridden by Karan Singh) in the Bangalore Summer Derby of 1974 — the first recorded Derby dead-heat in the history of this storied event. While his journey was not without its share of controversies — an almost inevitable companion to fierce competitiveness — Shafiq remained a respected and well-liked member of the racing fraternity, admired for his approachable demeanour and the easy camaraderie he shared with colleagues and fans alike. Though his appearances at the racecourse grew rare in recent years, the memories of his brilliance, tenacity, and flair remain vivid in the minds of those who had the privilege of witnessing him at his best. Racingpulse extends its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family of Mohammed Shafiq. His contribution to Indian racing will be remembered with respect and admiration.

The BTC members have voted in favor of all three resolutions presented at the Special General Body Meeting on Monday. The approved resolutions include increasing the club's membership strength from 350 to 1,000, negotiating with the government for a suitable alternative venue to relocate the racecourse while requesting the retention of six acres at the current location, and implementing a significant hike in membership fees. The resolutions were passed by a show of hands. Despite long-standing resistance to relocation and expansion, the club members, perhaps recognizing the inevitable—especially after recent events in Chennai—have chosen to safeguard the future of the club and horse racing.

The RWITC Stewards have cracked the whip—by taking it away. Jockey Akshay Kumar has been handed a 10-day suspension from using the whip for excessive use on Circle of Dreams in the Poonawalla Multi-Million. The penalty kicks in from March 20 to April 6, with the remaining five days carrying over to the Pune Racing Season. For a jockey of his stature, losing the whip is a serious handicap, especially in competitive finishes where every flick counts. This makes him one of the most high-profile riders in recent years to face such a sanction in India. With stewards tightening their grip on whip regulations, will jockeys now have to rely more on skill and strategy than the persuader?
