The highlight of the evening was the presence of Bollywood actress and Kingfisher Calendar Girl Nicole Faria who charmed the gathering while drawing out names of horses at the ‘Starting Draw Nite’ for the 27th edition of The Kingfisher Derby. Owners, trainers & jockeys were seen mingling with Bangalore’s glitterati and raising a toast to the ‘King of all Derbies’.
Performances by renowned band ‘One Night Stand’ got the crowd swaying with their blend of soft rock, pop and rock n roll. DJ Jasmeet’s mix of foot tapping Bollywood numbers got fashionistas and the crème de la creme to dance the night away as Kingfisher kept the brew flowing.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Samar Singh Sheikhawat, Senior Vice President, Marketing, United Breweries Limited said, “The Kingfisher Derby is one of the city’s most regal and charming events as it embodies a perfect amalgamation of thrill, style and glamour. We are immensely delighted to have the talented Nicole Faria with us at the Draw of Lots – the deciding factor of horse positions. We look forward to having a great time at the 27th edition of the Kingfisher Derby with Bangalore’s equestrian and fashion enthusiasts!”
