Happy Days for Given
Indian Days came from last to first to take consecutive renewals of the International Bosphorus Cup at Veliefendi in Turkey.
The James Given-trained six-year-old was given a textbook hold-up ride by Alan Munro to deny Godolphin’s Campanologist by the narrowest of margins.
Frankie Dettori looked to have put the race to bed aboard the subsequent runner-up when he scooted clear of Superstition two furlongs out.
Luca Cumani’s Afsare appeared the biggest danger under Kieren Fallon, but the four-year-old colt’s challenge petered out inside the final 200 yards.
Indian Days, by contrast, was only beginning to hit his stride, and came fast and late to claim the first prize in excess of £155,000 (€177,000)
Afsare eventually finished fourth, while Superstition was third.
The Mick Channon-trained Halicarnassus was never a factor.
