R. Gujadhur
Trainer: M. Rameshwar Gujadhur
Rameshwar Gujadhur remains part of the old guard that remains in action today. Since starting out in 1991, he has had a successful career in the 26 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 his first classic win since he opened his own stable 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 an excellent 2016, 2017 was another strong season for this veteran trainer. He trained Hard Day's Night to the Four-Year old championship, while he won five Group races, the most out of anybody.
He will be hoping to continue his strong run in 2018.
