Firebrand triumphs

Firebrand, ridden by Akshay Kumar, lifted the Dr Gnani Laksumanan Cup, the prime event of the races here today.

Trained by B Suresh, the winner is a property of Dr M A M Ramaswamy Chettiar of Chettinad Charitable Trust.

Suresh and co-trainer K S Mandanna saddled two winners each while Akshay Kumar ended the day with two triumphs.

Two favourites obliged the punters in a card of six events.
