C. Daby
Trainer: M. Preetam Daby
Chandraduth (Preetam) Daby was one of two trainers to be given licences for the 2017 season. He first started out as a jockey, riding 68 winners from 1990 to 2014.
His biggest win came in the 2009 Duchess Of York Cup, courtesy of Cormorant Pass. He stopped riding five years later, after suffering injury from repeated falls.
He joined Shirish Narang as Stable Supervisor, before becoming assistant-trainer to Randhir Pertaub, until the latter ceased his activities as a trainer. He later joined Simon Jones in 2016, still in the role as assistant-trainer.
His first season as a fully-fledged trainer was a good one, as he picked up 12 wins, including victory in the Group 2 Coupe des Presidents with Kingmambo's Legacy. He will look to do even better in 2018.

Record (as at December 31st 2017) 14 wins and 40 placings for 102 nominations with gains amounting to Rs 4,195,000
