Pune: Despite the fact that a couple of results shocked the followers on the second last day of the Pune season, the most fancied contestants nailing bold colours to the mast and a successful coup orchestrated by trainer Imtiaz A Sait on providing the Diwali bonus.
The penultimate day for the Pune Season 2018 saw a poor turn out rather then large number of spectators who use to see full stands.
Truly Epic, Akshay Kumar up, rose to the occasion and ran a splendid race to win the General Rajendrasinhji Million. As per promise made during elections of RWITC 2018, it seems it is turn out be to say old habit die hard or birds of same feather flock together.
The long card of eight events generated an interesting card and even in the goods fields the bookmakers odds were not to cramped.
