NEW DELHI: The Humayun World Heritage Site Museum, set to be inaugurated on July 29, brings to life the 700 years of pluralistic cultural traditions of the ancient city’s historic neighbourhoods– Nizamuddin, named after 13th century Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya.

With the help of 3-D illustrations, immersive screens, replicas of Mughal era architecture and rare artefacts, the museum records the life of emperor Humayun and the profound connections which the Mughals shared with the ‘sacred Sufi landscape’ of the city.

His Highness The Aga Khan's hitherto unraced 2-year-old-filly Zarigana (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}–Zarkamiya {Fr}, by Frankel {GB}), a granddaughter of the storied Zarkava, produced a stunning performance in Sunday's Prix de la Butte Blanche over seven furlongs at Chantilly and emulated her illustrious second dam by securing 'TDN Rising Star' status on debut.

New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) The “country’s first” sunken museum at the magnificent Humayun’s Tomb site in Delhi that marries modern 21st-century architecture with Mughal-era craftsmanship in its design is all set for its inauguration next week.

put his previous experience to good use as he ran out a game winner of the Barronstown Stud Irish EBF (C & G) Maiden at the
Curragh
.
Derby hero City Of Troy made a winning racecourse bow in the seven-furlong heat last year and much of the attention was centred on his fellow Aidan O’Brien-trained runner Rock Of Cashel on his first trip to the track.

A Wootton Bassett half-brother to Snowfall, Rock Of Cashel was sent off the 7-4 favourite under Ryan Moore but never really looked like taking a hand in the finish, coming home eighth behind 10-1 Hazdann.

Calandagan dominated the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes (2400m) on Friday, becoming the first French-trained winner at Royal Ascot since Watch Me in the 2019 Coronation Stakes.

Like Watch Me, Calandagan was sent over by Francis-Henri Graffard, who trains the son of Gleneagles for his owner/breeder HH The Aga Khan.

With an outside draw in 13, Stephane Pasquier rode a quiet race on Calandagan. The partnership came wide in the straight and powered away to win by six lengths, with Space Legend and Royal Supremacy filling the places.

Aga Khan Studs have been having an outstanding year with their homebreds and produced a new stakes-winner overnight when lightly raced Sea the Stars filly Hanalia scored a stylish victory in the Listed Naas Oaks Trial (1m2 ½ f).

Having just her third race start, the Johnny Murtagh trained filly was fourth on debut last month before breaking her maiden at the Curragh and took a big step forward here beating a couple of fillies heading towards the Irish Oaks including the big flashy Justify filly Greenfinch in third place.
