REPORT: INDIA
Indian Derby G1, Mumbai 1m4f (4yo)

IRISH rider Colm O¡¦Donoghue on Sunday partnered the four-year-old gelding Diabolical to a 10-1 victory in the richest race in Indian history.

The Indian Derby, run at Mumbai¡¦s Mahalaxmi racecourse, is the most prestigious race in a country with a well-established racing industry. The 1m4f contest is an increasingly important event on the Indian sporting calendar.

In Sunday¡¦s renewal, worth a total of INR9.8million. (£113,000/£á171,000), Diabolical scored by two and half lengths,stunning 1-4 favourite Southern Empire, a hitherto unbeaten colt described as ¡§the greatest horse ever to run on Indian turf¡¨ before the race.

Both horses run in the colours of India¡¦s dominant owner, Dr MAM Ramaswamy and were trained by S Ganapathy.

O¡¦Donoghue and compatriot Niall McCullagh, who rode third-placed Blue Ribbon, are both spending the winter in India.
