A piece of racing history was created on 19th November 2011 when Darius Byramji saddled the 1000th winner of his career. Ask him which horse achieved this landmark and the 39 year old Bangalore based trainer laughs and says he is not sure.

When his father retired from the saddle, and started his second innings as trainer, the young Nana Ragunath was a permanent fixture in the yard. Naturally, almost like a passing of the baton, he took up a trainer’s license in the early 80’s.
