KARACHI: Favourite bay horse Choice Of The Day lifted the July Cup as turf accountants dominated a five-race card during the Gymkhana race meeting at the Karachi Racecourse on Sunday.
Having placed second in last three outings, Choice Of The Day made amends by justifying his billing to give race-goers some respite on a day of upsets as he galloped home by three lengths over chestnut horse Albania to clinch the cup.
Owned by Mohammad Rehan and sent by trainer Mohammad Sharif, Choice Of The Day was ably ridden by rider Riaz Ahmed.
Mare Recovery, who won the last race, had to be content with third place after being edged by short head followed by Faster Than You among seven starters as New Class was scratched in the morning declaration.
