Hello Friends,                       A card of 7 races have been framed for the day,here are my analysis and choices for the races Race No 1:A class IV race over 1200 mts After a victory during one of its starts this season  Rise To Glory ,this horse has ran two races and finished nowhere on the board,now gets a change in jockey to  B.Nayak .  Manta Ray which has run in 3 yo maiden races,now runs in open Class IV company,with a claimer to handle this horse.  Red Admiral ,after starting four times this season and finishing behind more than five lengths behind the winner in all its starts,last time out it ran 8 lts behind Rumour Has It ,now gets a positive switch in jockey to Suraj Narredu Smilestone ,which showed marked improvement during its last start where it finished fourth (3.5 lts) behind the winner,now runs again with the same jockey One of a kind is another horse which fared well in its last start by finis...

A card of seven races has been framed for this sunday,with THE BANGALORE SUMMER MILLION being the feature event RACE NO 1:A RACE FOR CLASS IV HORSES OVER 1400 MTS This race has a horse in ROYAL REIN which has finished second to Supreme Regime over the same distance in the same class,the winner eventually ran a great race in his next start,thus form line holds good. Zagato which had its first run in the open class finished behing Gerome now runs here,the winner of that race ultimately ran in the derby,also the horse which finished second at that race in Strike the stars went on to win a handicap race during its next start Divine Ruler and Style of signature ran behind the 3 yo runaway winner Triumphant the former gets a switch in jockey to B.Sreekant You're Chulbulli which ran sixth to Wind Wonder gets a change in jockey to A.R.Pradeep From whatever angle I see this race I cant see why Royal Rein can be neglected,by any means this is the horse to beat,has good track p...

Thanks to RWITC,RCTC and Kunigal Stud,Mohit Lalvani's company with its association with Neo sports channel is all set to bring the too races from UK to our homes via Neo Sports Network This race will be shown on TV which is one amongst the British Championship Series and is a Gr.1 race over 2400 mts This race run over 1m4f has attracted a field of 8 runners The most notable absentee is St.Nicholas Abbey which suffered an injury during training and is believed to be career threatening one. Out of the eight contenders the two French contenders in Very Nice Name and Cirrus Des Aigles the former is the is fav for this race. Irish Derby winner Trading leather is also a contender here German horse Novellist is also in the fray Cirrus Des Aigles which has matched strides with wonder horse Frankel if I am not wrong looks tall here in this field,his last run wasn't up to the mark but like a champion he is this multi graded winner should romp home in style,with French Jockey Christoher S...

Race no 1: A race for class V horses over 1200 mts On the outset this race looks extremely tricky thanks to the the form? of the runners in this race.  Mountain Train which runs after a long lay-off after its winter adventure looks like a contender here purely based on its track form,but as always its a lottery to assume if the horse after a lay off can put up a winning gallop just after returning or will it need this run? But it is prepared extensively ignore at will That brings me back to two horses which have relatively good form in Will still and Star of desire ,both have reasonable form and the latter a demotee with a switch in jockey has come down a lot in ratings  My choice:#1 Star of Desire for Win  Race no 2:A race for Class V horses over 1200 mts Upper division of the previous race,the field is comprised of many youngsters,here too form is not seen in plenty  Rubi Rey ,which ran in the upper class finished fourth to My Faviurite voice, now drops down in gra...

Pune Friday races selections and comments  Race no 1:Class IV race (5yo+) over 1400  Cypress point ran second to Jewel of the hills in its last run Mumbai season over a mile,now drops down in distance with a change in jockey Tell me more ,ran a good 3.5 lts behind winner in the same class in its last but one run,jockey chance to Shrikant Kamble ,has a good chance to place in my opinion, can upset Brave Fighter ,too has the same story wherein its last but one run incidentally over 1400 mts was good,finished close to 3 lts behind the eventual winner  Princess Khatoum  finished 5 lengths behind the winner in same class over a shorter trip in Pune,now runs with the same jockey ,this trip may suit as its last win is over this trip Thus the opening race of the day seems a slightly tricky affair,my choice here is Princess Khatoum  ahead of  Cypress point and brave fighter, simply because it has a benifit of a run this current season and will be all ready to strike...

Hello friends,                    Here are my fancies of the day  Binzz/Dreamliner/blush/wings of glory/infallible/step up  Have a nice day,gamble responsibly

A seven horse field will face the starter for this gruelling classic trip over 2800 m  An acquired taste is the horse in form here thanks to its two out of two victories over 1400 m and 1800 m respectively,guess the trainer had this event in his mind all along ,the question is can it stay the trip  and win its first classic, is the same case with Master Shifu  (ex-hemisphere)  Master Shifu according to its trainer is suspect in its ability to stay a trip of 2200 m, a trip of 2800 m may well be beyond its reach but its racing a trainer of his repute has taken a chance here and writing it off is not the first thing one should do here with this horse  Borsalino too has the same problem according to me in staying the trip,although its illustrious dam running flame was blessed with stamina but this horse going by its past records haven't done well over 2400 trips although a winner of two derbies over 2000 mts,what may be going well for this horse here is the give in ...
