Suleiman Attaollahi-trained Sovetskaya was given a neat ride by Trevor Patel to claim the H.H. Sri Krishnaraja Wadiyar Memorial Trophy, the feature event of the races held here on Friday.
Ridden well off the pace by Patel, the next-in-demand Sovetskaya came with a brilliant run inside the final furlong of the 1400 metres race to win comfortably, leaving Immense to fight off Sky Train and Bold Police for the runner up sport.
