Welcome to the States, Suraj

[my miss storm cat]

... so he's gonna be at Arlington for the summer.

If any of you Chi Town guys happen to see and chat with him tell him that he has a fan and that he made the name Becket known out this way (even if it was in beating the brilliant Jacqueline).

My list of further instructions (ie baskets for Ace-ie for when he goes back home to India, etc) to come...

Talk about a die hard fan of horse racing. I am from india and I myself have never heard of that jockey nor that horse. Thanks for the post as it is exciting for me to see a jockey from my country come to america to ride. I will follow him at arlington this meet and cant wait to see how well he does.

Thanks.

I had read stuff about it here and it's nice to see he's getting attention.

Oh are you???

To be honest I didn't have any interest in India till most special favorite horse (well one of them) Ace went over there.

He disappeared... AOB to Satish Seemar in Dubai to places unknown and long and dull story but a writer from Racing Post suggested I write to Mr. Cyrus Poonawalla and he wrote back (!!!!!)...

Anyway Ace-ie is fine and happy at Poonawalla Stud and being kind of addictive and obsessive I started reading up and watching replays and before long well names like Mystical, Set Alight, poor Versaki...

India is a fun place to follow!

He's getting settled in...working horses in the morning but as of Thursday, no mounts yet. Driving is a challenge and a lot to get used to according to his agent..

It did not take him long to score his first win. Won today at 9-1 in the first race at Arlington. It was his first win on his 4th mount.
