The past two days have been momentous for our boys abroad, with six riders proving their worth and flying our flag high.

Earlier this morning at Riccarton Park in New Zealand, Krishna Mudhoo added his name to the scoresheet, guiding Channa to victory in the 2nd race.

Yesterday was nothing short of epic. It began at Woodville Racecourse in New Zealand, where Kavish Chowdhoory won aboard Rithim in the 7th race, followed by Ashvin Mudhoo's triumph on Turnmeon in the 10th race.

The success continued in Western Australia at Ascot, where Laqdar Ramoly drove Deltason to victory in the opening contest.

Finally, both Girish Dookhit (Lake Como – 2nd race) and Iannish Taka (Mister Nibbles – 9th race) made their mark at Scottsville in South Africa, rounding off a spectacular couple of days for Mauritian jockeys worldwide.
