Mumbai 28/11/13

Hello friends, 
                       A small card framed for the day,but seems like a competitive card. Here is my analysis and personal choices for the day. 

Race no 1:Class V race over 1800 mts 

On first view seems like the race is between Tara and Arzaan but I have made it a point to back an youngster even if there is a shimmer of hope 

Of the two youngsters Osric is superior,but the jockey on board is the only concern. But then this horse has raced with some good youngsters and if the jockey can do justice,can win here with some luck 

My choice:#1 Osric for win

Race no 2:Class I race over a mile 

Another classic hopeful sitting pretty on the scales is in the fray. Let him win in cramped odds. 

Looks like quite a tussle for the horse that can finish second,take your pick or just enjoy this race but for all academic purposes my choice here is Silver Arrow. 

My Choice:#4 Silver Arrow for win 

Race no 3:Class IV race over a mile 

In what seems like one of the more competitive fields of the day,there are five youngsters in with a chance here 

Curiosity and Papillion are winners of the lowest class,Curiosity although won purely because of the jockey last time is well placed on promotion,is the horse to beat (more so because it won despite its burst of blood vessel)

Fabulous Florence from the Goldie brown stable has had a suggestive last run and with a jockey whom I regard to be a decent rider too 

Arta's last run behind Negotiator in the maiden class is one to note,goes with a change of equipment (Blk on) now. Again has a good chance here 

But the bred in purple WENTWORTH from the stables of Bezan Chenoy stands apart here,this gelding will be the one that will finish the winning post first! There are no second opinions about it if ya ask me. Days best 

My choice:#3 WENTWORTH for win 

Race no 4:A class II race over 1000 mts 

Will Rio's winning streak come to a halt here is the ? This youngster has done nothing wrong in his career 

The distance is the horse's forte,the rider is a good claimer and can Rio sustain the long Mumbai straight is the only doubt. If odds ease at race time worth a bet 

My choice:#3 Rio for win 

Race no 5:A race for class III horses over 2000 mts 

This race is well and truly between the 3 youngsters! 

Amistad has matched strides with superior horses,history shows that the distance might be a big factor, but as far as I know history is deceptive! From the Shroff's yard cannot ignore yet will be a big task to overcome the other two 

Ghazal King especially is the same class winner and is my default contender here,this horse even with this jockey should take a lot of beating 

I may sound biased here,Negotiator carried top weight and scored resolutely on its last start,on promotion is placed well and with the rider of Sandesh's calibre has a chance to repeat

My Choice:#4 Negotiator for Win

Race no 6:Class V over 1400 mts 

Again youngsters are preferred over older horses,thus only three-four horses in the fray 

Amaya is a small made horse,set the pace on its last run over a longer trip,now holds better chances here although don't prefer it personally 

Splendid Light is highly capable of surprising all,yet cannot justify why 

Scalanaya has better saddle support and also well placed on the scales,an outside chance 

My choice:#7 Scalanaya for win 

Race no 7:Class III race over 1000 mts 

Edwina is the best horse in the field,demotee who is now favourably placed here, yet there are many horses whose form is on the incline here and she has tough competition more so when more than half the field has won some good races at Pune 

Song of sparrow is the one am fancying here,has a good draw and should fare well here 

My choice:#5 Song of sparrow for win/place 

Day's Best:WENTWORTH 

Double:Osric-Rio 

Upsetter:Scalanaya

      No my friend. I happend to be confuse ,alongwith mahiki and edwina.And missed the jackpot on V.March.Well Ghazal king was my days best and had to bang on it. Alas also took Negotiator for Shp.
      Yes you are completely right, anything can happen in racing.
      Will make a note on Silver arrow.
      Its just my opinion, it might not win the next outing. Do remind me if you like it.

      Tommo's kolkata card is too good. Its again punter friendly.
      To be frank Step up was not worth for more than 6/1 odds. Just b'coz of rider!! So many punters like me were failed to notice the intention at the last moment. I played Mahiki for only win.
      I hope others ,who had read my blog.. could have cared to take a small bet on Edwina and Step Up for each way or both for places.

      looking forward for your choices in kolkata.

      Best wishes

      Did you bank Rio too? I did the same mistake! Would have secured the jackpot easily.

      Silver Arrow won effortlessly, the 2000 gns if ya ask me is a straight fight between Alaindair Murioi and Silver Arrow! Jeremiah will find it difficult and if southern emperor makes a visit then it will be a very open race

      Yesterday had a lot of work to do after the races! Was up until 3 am and just woke up! Will attend cal races but havent worked yet. Will take ur selections as guideline

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:#...
