Renowned Irish jockey Oisin Murphy is set to partner with trainer Pesi Shroff's talented filly, Santissimo, in the highly anticipated Indian 1000 Guineas. The prestigious race, part of the Mumbai racing season’s second Classic, will be held on Sunday, December 22, at the iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse.
Murphy, a three-time champion flat jockey in the UK, will be looking to replicate his remarkable success from last year. During his debut visit to Mumbai, he guided the heavily favoured Jendayi (Ind), a progeny of Gleneagles (Ire), to a commanding victory in the Indian 1000 Guineas. That triumph cemented his reputation as a global force in the sport, adding to an already illustrious career spanning multiple countries.
Murphy’s comeback has been marked by steady success, and his presence in Mumbai for the Indian 1000 Guineas is seen as a testament to his enduring talent and international appeal. With Santissimo, a promising contender from Pesi Shroff’s illustrious stables, Murphy is poised to make an impact in what promises to be a fiercely competitive race.
For Murphy, the race represents not just another chance to add to his tally of international wins but also an opportunity to continue rebuilding his legacy as one of the sport’s most gifted jockeys.
Fans and racing enthusiasts eagerly await Sunday’s showdown, where the perfect blend of speed, skill, and strategy will be on display. Will Murphy’s magic strike again in Mumbai? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the stage is set for an unforgettable spectacle.
