Sulaiman Attaollahi holds a whiphand in the blue riband of the season, the
Kingfisher Ultra Derby on Republic Day. The mega event has attracted five best colts and four top fillies claiming a statutory 1.5 kilos gender allowance in the rich 2400 metres classic journey. The `Queen’ filly Forest Flame, winner of two classics and the Poonawalla Multi-Million in Mumbai and Lagarde who emerged champ in the 2000 Guineas at home before reigning supreme in the Indian 2000 Guineas at Mahalaxmi in Mumbai provide Sulaiman the best chance to lead in the Derby winner.
