Trainer: M. Rameshwar Gujadhur

Rameshwar Gujadhur is part of the old guard that remains in action today. Since starting out in 1991, he has had a successful career in the 27 years that has followed.

After training many classic winners with the ex-Fok stable, he had to wait until Polar Bound's win in the 2014 Barbe Cup to register a first classic victory for his own stable, founded in 2005.

His know-how and experience continue to serve him well and he is given the affectionate nickname ‘‘The King Of Long Shots’’.

After excellent campaigns in 2016 and 2017, 2018 was yet another strong season for this veteran trainer. He saddled Hard Day's Night to victory in the Duke Of York Cup, as well as in the horses’ championship. He also trained Nottinghamshire to be Champion Sprinters and he won five Group races, the most out of any trainer.

He will look to contend for the Trainers' championship in 2019.
