Excellent Lass is favored to win the Kunigal Stud Trophy (1,200m), the featured race at the Saturday, May 9, 2026, race meet. The filly, carrying 53kg and ridden by jockey Yash, is rated highly despite facing competition from entries like Ricardo and Kalamitsi in the 4:30 p.m. race.
Track conditions will include false rails set approximately 5.5 meters wide from the 1,600-meter mark to the finish line, affecting race dynamics across all events. Other races include the Chantille Plate (3:00 p.m.), Rabindranath Tagore Jayanti Trophy (3:30 p.m.), Dupont Plate (4:00 p.m.), Dean Stephens Memorial Trophy (5:00 p.m.), and Azhar Plate (5:30 p.m.).
In earlier races, Circle of Dreams won the 1,300m Rabindranath Tagore Jayanti Trophy, while Final Call was named the day's best performer after victory in the Azhar Plate. The double combination of Circle of Dreams and Excellent Lass drew attention from betting observers.
The race schedule concludes with the 5:30 p.m. Azhar Plate, after which stewards will review race conduct and announce any inquiries. Full results will be published by the racing authority following verification.
