The Mumbai season begins on Sunday. The Day I card has three sponsored events, which promises better things to follow. More than Rs 11 crore in stake money will be paid during the season.

The afternoon’s main event, the Mathradas Goculdas Trophy, has five horses vying for honours but trainer Imtiaz Sait’s ward Alvarita looks a cut above the rest.
