Ultra is the only beer brand in the country that associates itself with fashion.

Says one of our racing experts, “The 2016 running of this iconic event is amongst the most open in decades and has compelling stories emerging with just a week to go. The Kingfisher Ultra Indian Derby partnered by Signature Packaged Drinking Water is the second leg of the Indian Triple Crown and is run over a mile and a half which requires the perfect balance of speed and stamina to win this prestigious race. It is expected that while the front runners will be colts or geldings, the emergence of a star filly from Pesi Shroff’s stable, called ‘Myrtlewood’ is giving the boys sleepless nights and many believe that she will win this battle.”

The races will be telecast live on the Neo Network and a recent arrangement with Bloomberg TV will increase the footprint even further. The races start at 12:30 and go on till sundown. Tickets are easily available at the venue. For more details visit www.rwitc.com
