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.

LAHORE: Haiku turned out to be the annihilator as the Malik Salman Khalid-owned filly galloped to an easy 1000-Guineas of Pakistan 2021 win here at the Lahore Race Club on Sunday.
From the word go, Haiku stretched its lead to a length leaving others way behind with no one coming forth to pose even a bit of a challenge. Haiku thus earned its owner Rs1.5 million prize purse and the trophy.
Apart from 1000-Guineas, this 22nd winter meeting of the club also had three cup races. Favourite Shah The Great claimed Khyber Cup, Taksim Square won the Anarkali Cup and Rs800,000 and Big Move lived up to the expectations to take Rana A Malik Memorial Cup.
