Monsoon Classics

Hello Friends, 
                     The classics will start rolling in the next few days at Hyderabad,Mysore and Calcutta with the Pund derby mid-October,Equine superstars will be made and there will be some super flops. With Murioi and Starry Eyes not living upto expectations and the ride of Alandaiar and Amelia from the western circuit are see as signs there is no super horse yet.Will the western Indian trained horse continue to raid of will there be emergence of new superstars,time will tell but there is lot of excitement,in a couple of weeks from now the classics will take centerstage and it is only matter of time before we see new champions in all their glory.I am eagerly lookin forward to the classics not as a punter but as a lover of the sport and in anticipation of seeing another In the spotlight. What do you think friends? Will we see a superstar ? 

Last year we saw Equine Lover showing that early spark when she annexed the Mysore 1000 guineas by trouncing the field and she failed to maintain the form in her very next race where she was beaten by the eventual Indian derby winner Super Storm,the monsoon classics also saw the decline of Borsalino after winning the Hyderabad monsoon derby it failed against Windstream during the Mysore derby. At Pune racing fans were treated to duel between Commander and Shivalik Hero (now Supreme Star) on the homestretch and the former winning by a short margin. There is no doubt that these races will build up the anticipation to the winter classics,The Indian Classics which is the Creme de la Creme of Indian racing calender,only time will tell dear friends. What do you think friends? 

Will the upcoming classics throw up an equine superstar? I sincerely hope it does.

Mumbai 01/04/17

Hello Friends,                          By the time this post gets completed it would be just an hour or two before racetime,anyways hope it helps those who could read it RACE 1: Multigory: won maiden race in his second start and has won class class 4,class 3 and class 53-79 races subsequently,the last two start winner has hit sublime form and is the one to watch out for Jeanine: A first start winner over 5f to clear maidens has subsequently won class 3 and class 2,pune has been a better hunting ground. Pugnacious: Has age on his side and so are the weights tilted in his favour,on class is a maiden winner,class 4 winner and class 3 winner,hence is the one to beat During the fag end of the season horses who are in form can hope to do much better and with that logic I feel Multiglory should have a big say in the opener Race 3: Forest Fire: A maiden,having second start in class V over extended trip with a...

Bangalore selections and analysis 27/07

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...

Mumbai Thursday races 12/12/13 a Analysis and Selections

Hello Friends,                       The mid-week racing card at Mumbai consists a compact card of 7 races,here is my analysis and selections for the day  Race no 1:Class V race over 1200 mts  Ancient Odyssey  which won its last start in the same class over the same distance now gets a positive switch in rider,as most of the field is out of relative form,this horse has a fair chance to repeat here Polar Zone  which has earlier shown some spark is now getting a guidance from a top jockey,has run decently in its previous runs too,no tracks are seen and that is my only worry  But one horse which caught the eye during its last run is  SHOWERS OF HEAVEN, it had a forward run in a large field with Dharmendar on top and was calling the shots until they crossed the 200 mts marker over a 7f trip,now with a benifit of that run and a switch to jockey,shapes as a decent chance bet for the day  MY CHOICE:#...
