They set the hearts racing...

The much talked about PRA Independence Million 2010 was held with much fanfare at the Race Course on Independence Day. To celebrate the occasion, Rustom Bharucha and Zubin Bharucha organised a soiree for the invitees. The excitement was palpable in the air, as the day advanced. The crème da crème of the city glided down the lawns decked in exquisite designer wear. We spotted noted gazal singer Jagjit Singh joining the joi de vivre.
Very soon, everyone was savouring the scrumptious hors de oeuvres, while a live band serenaded the gathering. To keep the festivities rolling, Armored Corps Center School band was specially flown in from Ahmednagar, to play the national anthem. Incidentally, this was the fourth successive year of the PRA Independence Trophy and the first year when it has become the million race.
The races soon began, and the atmosphere was charged. Enthusiasts were seen cheering and clapping for their prized horse. The crowd rushed near the track to get a better glimpse of the galloping horses. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly when Floods of fortune, the favourite horse of the PRA Independence Million 2010, won the coveted trophy. Farouq and Zaheer Rattonsey, owners of the horse, accepted the trophy from the Bharuchas
