Believe (Planetaire - Noble Lady), trained by S Waheed and ridden by Vishal N Bunde, stunned his more fancied rivals in the grade 3, F D Wadia Trophy, the feature event of Sunday's seven-race card. The three-year-old son of Planetaire (15/1) was summarily neglected in the betting ring as Misty (P Trevor up) received overwhelming support to end up favourite at 6/4, causing the odds on the ante-post favourite Time And Tide to drift from 12/10 to 9/4. In the homestretch, when Time And Tide (PS Chouhan up) overhauled leader Chilly Lady to assume command, Bunde immediately set alight Believe to eclipse the new leader, and went on to win almost unchallenged. 

Just an hour earlier, trainer S Waheed all but won the Petronia Plate with another 15/1 shot (Star Gallery ridden by apprentice Haridas Gore), but PS Chouhan astride the Pesi Shroff-trained Rush, who was badly held up behind a wall of horses, managed to get up just in time to sneak along the rails, and tricked Star Gallery to win a "nose" verdict in photo finish.
