Nitco Tiles Ltd., the sponsor of the Nitco Million, announced one of the richest prize money for the winner beside a glittering trophy. The 1,400-metre distance will be a true test of speed for the juveniles and promises to be an interesting and hard-fought race. The winners purse is a whopping Rs10,53,600. As many as six of the nine runners are fillies but the strongest representation would come from the gelding Autonomy who produced a tremendous run on his debut to win effortlessly with the jockey looking back as early as the distance post. Red Romeo, another impressive winner on debut seems the only threat to the Jaydev Mody-owned gelding. Nitco Tiles have been a regular sponsor at the RWITC and this race is one the richest races for the juveniles in the country.
