Iron Age best for Republic Cup

Iron Age, who showed scorching speed and form to match while winning the Christmas Cup on X’Mas day, towers over the rest, in a compact field of five runners will go to post for the Republic Cup, the feature of Friday’s racing.

The bay gelding with class written all over him, has had a good run on the western India circuit and has been one among the best sprinters of his time. Although, he had a bad day at office in the all-important Sprinters’ Cup at Mysore, he was quick to put that dismal run behind him with a superlative effort last month, showing that he is in robust condition thanks to his trainer Imtiaz Sait who has obviously put him through the right regimen.
