Fynbos to go one better
The Pune racecourse.
PUNE: Exactly three times in her career (once at Mahalaxmi last December in the Indian 1000 Guineas and twice this season at Pune) Fynbos went to the post as a piping-hot, on-money favourite, and on all three occasions she finished runner up.
On Sunday, as the curtain comes down on the Pune monsoon season 2026, Fynbos will once again be a cramped-odds-favourite for the feature event, the Burgundy Mantra Luxury Line RWITC Ltd Trophy (Gr 2), but the Pesi Shroff-trained four-year-old filly is expected to go one better this time and delight the hearts of her followers.
