Pune Season-Highlights

Hello friends, 
                    It is only natural for a fan of this sport to look back at what had happend in an entire season and remember the highlights of the season. 

An Acquired Taste-was the horse that went from being zero during the last Pune season to Hero this season,the favourite of last years derby proved himself by annexing three races this season including an Indian classic,kudos to his trainer Altamash Ahmed and regular partner Sandesh for such a consistent show,although failed during his last start this Strong Contender progeny is in my opinion the star of the season. Rated 130 currently,just shows his class isn't it. 

Jeremiah-It is the horse that won two races and won a race at Hyderabad too and captured the imagination of railbirds,this horse after its stunning performance is now a top contender for the winter classics, his master Pesi Shroff and regular partner Zervan were both clinical in carrying out their jobs! Congrats to them 

Antonious Maximus and Falco Nero both proved to be consistent horses for trainer Dallas Todywalla which enabled him to score a sixer there by easing him to win the champion trainer tag from Pesi,Pesi was active this year compared to last year and had nearly pulled off the championship from Dallas,there is no prize for guessing who will be the champ at Mumbai though as Dallas had once famously said Pesi will steamroll me. 

The Jockey's championship wasn't a ding dong battle,it was Sandesh all the way booting winners at will and winning the champion jockey tag with a measure of comfort,but he had to work hard for that and there is no doubt about his,his rides astride An acquired taste against Ocean and Beyond and on Novak a couple of weeks are visually a treat to watch. His partnership with Dallas Toddywalla and M.K.Jadhav proved to be a lethal combination 

The 3 yo horse that showed spark on the track and what promised to be a leading contender at the winter classis is Silver Arrow,just look at how the horse decimated the opposition at both its starts,will be a treat to watch at Mumbai. 

Not to forget Stormtracker who maintained his 100% win record on the track for the 1400 mts,he had won twice this season over the 1400 trip and was clearly a champion on his own right 

Trainer Faisal Abbas had some sprinting stars on show this season,Weizhou ishpingo Autumn rush Celcius to name a few,his record in the sprint events is phenomenal. 

Looking forward to the Winter season to begin,until then meet ya

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:#...
