LAHORE: Four-year-old foal Sahil not only lived up to expectations by winning the Pakistan Derby 2021 but also returned with a best time since 1974 here at the Lahore Race Club on Sunday.
Sahil clocked two minutes 34 seconds and 3.5 milliseconds which is the best time since 1974’s 2.33 recorded by Shadab. As there was derby ban in 1976 and was also not held in the following two years, so it’s the best time of 44 years.
With the word go Sahil galloped like double leaps to stretch ahead of all and the only pony that came close to it was Governor but in the dying staged it lagged behind and settled for a second position.
