LAHORE: The 25 to 100 favourite bay filly Slightly Hurt lived up to her bloodline credentials with a comfortable victory, landing the feature event run over 1300 metres during the Lahore Winter Meeting at the Racecourse blanketed in dense fog on Sunday.

The race-goers, who had come in a large number to witness the day`s proceedings, were not able to get a clear view of therunning because of the thick fog which had engulfed the entire city, making visibility very poor right f rom the start.

Three-year-old progeny of USA sire Tybalt out-of-English mare, Dialect, Slightly Hurt, won the Leonardo Plate, Class V handicap race in a smart timing of one minute 18 3/5 seconds, which is only a fraction less than the record of one minute 18 2/5 seconds set up by the colt Nosha in March 2014.

She beat bay colt Class Leader by four-and-a-halflengths with the colt Jabbar Prince third, another four lengths back.

The filly is no record breaker but proved she is a consistent performer on the Lahore racecourse with a haul of four wins and twice placed second in six outings to date.

Owned by Haji Choudhry Tahir Mahmood, the winner was ridden by jockey Mohammad Hanif and trained by Shahid Hussain.

The supporting event, Niran Plate Class VI division 1, 11 and111 contested over the sprinting distance of 1200 metres was claimed by four-year-old bay filly Big Confidence, defeating bay filly Cattllea by a length.

Bay filly Road To Heaven finished third with colt Solow fourth.

The winner owned by Shahid Mahmood Goga was ridden by A. Raza and trained by Mohammad Afzal.

This was Big Confidence`s first victory of the season after four unsuccessful attempts to hit the winner`s enclosure.
