Record Time Be Safe ridden by Suraj Narredu wins The Indian Derby 2015

Be Safe, owned by Dr M A M Ramaswamy and trained by Malesh Narredu, kept his date with destiny to emerge as the champion four-year-old horse by winning the McDowell Signaure Indian Derby (Gr 1) at the Mahalaxmi race track.
Be Safe trashed the earlier course record of 2:28.05 set by Alaindair last year when he stopped the clock at 2:27.71 to the delight of the mammoth crowd that accorded a thundering applause and standing ovation to jockey Suraj Narredu, who partnered Be Safe.
When the gates opened for the mile-and-a-half contest that tests both speed and stamina, and 13 runners jumped out, Suraj settled Be Safe in fifth position as Shivalik Showers (N Rawal up) set a decent pace to The General (Yash Narredu up) and Illidan (Sandesh up) even as Top Commander brushed up to stalk the pace, and Tiger Tops (Colm O'Donoghue up) and Quasar (Srinath up) preferred to stay back.
The pace heated up in the final 800 meters and Suraj Narredu allowed Be Safe to lengthen his stride a bit, but Colm O'Donoghue quickly moved up and brought Tiger Tops alongside Be Safe as the heads turned for home.
However, after crossing the 300-meter post, Suraj put Be Safe in top gear, and he sailed away to a four-and-a-half length victory over Tiger Top who finished a neck ahead of Quasar who in turn spared the same to Aquamarine.
"Horses like Be Safe come once in a lifetime," said Suraj Narredu and added, "he is the best horse I have ridden, and this I am not saying now. When he came to Bangalore last year in the summer, and I cantered him for the first time, I got off him and told my dad he is a special horse, unlike any I had ever ridden."

Shame on Rider Even such a horse got beaten in invitation a chor always a chor

[@sarbojitlaha9278]

Agree. Be Safe was pulled by the same Jockey in the Invitation Cup to boost the reputation of his brother's son yash narredu.

[@shahjaffery9844]

MAM is the guilty party , Not Suraj.

[@davidayyer485]

That's why this horses was removed within half hour from Malesh Stable in history it's never happened because Malesh and Yash cheated on him that's within half hour make a note and MAM won the supreme court case because race would have closed in India because of betting and cheating in 1992 he was the man who argued in supereme court and won the case for all of us and u say him a cheater who donated all his money to trust tell me one owner who has donated everything to trust

[@shahjaffery9844]

@@davidayyer485 But few times I saw MAM eat his own horse half money to 55/100 favorite horse at Hyderabad Track with Shah & Salim Bookies . If I am not doing mistake I think horse name was Red Jade and Foreign Jockey namely Smith is riding the horse . And amount I think one Lakh. And entire Hyderabad Punters knows on that time his horses at Ooty track running and betting at Hyderabad opens 40/1 or 30/1 with in minutes it’s goes down to even money and some times half money favorites. From 40/1 to even money or less . Which horse owners horses goes down betting from 40/1 or 30/1 to even money or less. And it’s no doubt he sent 600 highly educated people to USA and British etc with his own money. He helped lot of educated students, great help. But once’s it comes racing he do plenty of tricks and Setting up Starting gates at Hyderabad Tracks mall functioning, means not working before starters order. And horses runs without staring gates . Like Gymkhana racess, and his horses started two lengths advantage at starting point. While circling around starting areas. When his horse facing towards the wire or wining post , race starts and his horse won the the race usually first race and on that particular day punter’s start shouting and some burns and damage the furniture at Hyderabad R track and Hyderabad authorities cancellation of remaining race’s at Hyderabad R Track’s. Mam is good helping nature with very smart tricks in his pocket to win the race.

[@pankajshah3422]

What horse Be Safe? Great pedigree of Holy Roman Emperor(Northern Dancer Family) proved too good for all of great stamina holder runners. The same was well beaten by Qusar in Turf Invitation Cup. Can you believe It? This is called Indian racing.

[@anthonyfernandes2638]

Be Safe -- always superior to quasar, period ! very doubtful if Be Safe was allowed to run on merits. he was pulled immediately after the start of the race... watch the video carefully. In the Indian Derby, be safe was taken to the front right from the start but here, he was immediately pulled and kept at the rear and came from a long way back to be a neck behind quasar. May have been done by suraj narredu to launch his brother's son on quasar. What a shame.

Prized possession of Big Boss
