Apprentice jockey A Prakash created a sensation when he steered home three winners from only six mounts at the Pune racetrack during the two-day opener of the popular monsoon season. His performance stood out especially as the two top jockeys--A Sandesh and P Trevor--struggled to live up to the expectations of their followers, Sandesh delivering with only two of his 11 mounts, even as P Trevor could not open his account despite riding seven horses. 


On Thursday, A Prakash drove trainer Hosidar Daji's ward, Baby Bazooka, to a thrilling 'neck' victory over the Malesh Narredu-trained The Awakening (Yash Narredu up) in the upper division of the Australian Racing on play.rwitc.comPlate. He followed it up with a tenacious ride astride Cipher (trainer Faisal Abbas) to win the upper division of the Beyond Expectations Plate. His third success was logged on Friday when he outwitted two senior jockeys, A Sandesh (Sky Storm) and NS Parmar (Leto), astride Arabian Phoneix (also trained by Hosidar Daji) in the Season Opener Plate.
