Hello Friends,                        The extra day being framed by the Mysore Race Club has attracted a card of 9 races,as is my style in the recent past won't be able to analyse the entire card and I have chosen three races for the day,as this is the last racing day of the month (I don't watch Delhi races) I wish it goes on pretty well Race 5:A class III race over 1400 mts (5yo+)  NOTE:FOR MYSORE BASED HORSES ONLY  This race will be closely fought,the likes of Queen and Bourbon Street who are Mumbai imports add certain pep to this race  The former who has had a tremendously good winding up spurt will be the most fancied runner and rightly so as its last run behind Torch Bearer is one to note  Bourbon Street has run a belter of a race when it made its seasonal debut,it was over 1400 mts. Now after two runs over 1200 mts,one of them in the upper class and now with a switch in jockey that can termed as 'positive' has the slight edge here in my opinion over the other  The

Hello Friends,                      When I posted my analysis for yesterday,I said it would be too laborious to go through the whole card but would however post analysis for the entire card today,however I won't be able to post for all ten races today too,I have again picked some races and have done my bit of analysis.  RACE 2:For Class III horses over a Mile  This race is pretty interesting as it has two horses,3 yo in the fray. An Jolie has already run in this class as a favourite,where it went down to Mine Forever  after rather a late surge in the home-straight. Now over this extended trip should fancy its chances.  The other 3 yo in the fray is a last start maiden winner Frankanella ,has the top jockey in the saddle and at low weights is the top contender in this race  Having said that there are two other horses in Glorious Opinion and Sansani may pose a minor threat,afterall the last named horse had a rather start to finish mission against the too-good Congressional ,now over

Hello friends,                       It would be too laborious and time consuming to go through all the ten races today,so I have picked only a few races and done a bit of analysis. However,will do a complete round up for Sundays races.  RACE 3:A race for 3 yo maidens over 1200 mts  This race seems pretty competitive, Sail Past  was my choice when it ran its last two starts,last start was unlucky and before that found  Praelector  too good,now in this company with this jockey aboard is a threat to all  However with horses in the likes of  Spanish Saga,Shivalik Eyes  etc,this race wears a very open look  Ensign  is prepared very well and one has to go by the preperations alone,then this horse is the one,has a decent jockey aboard too  Gascony  is a rather interesting candidate,hasn't done anything wrong,has two major positives which is after its first run which can be termed as 'educative' is bound for second lifetime start inprovement and has a positive switch in jockey sup

Hello Friends,                       Fridays card at Mysore has eight races,with a class II race being the feature of the day. Here are my views of the races.  RACE 1:A class IV race over 1200 mts  The bottom-weighted Jazzbythebay   which comes into this race with a thick vein of form,has a jockey who has been in some form this season too is the top contender in this race  Smilestone  which finished sixth on its seasonal debut has been running some game races at Bangalore and as such cannot be ignored in this moderate bunch  Arthurian  who is out of  Win Legend ,the Frontrunner for the Freshmen Sire of this season,is making a rather belated debut. He is prepared decently and has services of a top jockey,thus in this weak set can put it past his opponents. My personal fancy  My Choice:#4 Arthurian Win  RACE 2:For class V horses over 1400 mts  FERMINA  who finished a rather close fourth in its last start will get the top billing in this race,with a switch to better saddle support and act

Friends,               Hyderabad  on Tuesday turned out to be good,moving on to Thursday where a card of 8 races has been framed at Mysore. I have updated the Monthly report card and with the last leg of the month left lets see what's instore.  Race 1:A class V race over 1200 mts  There is not much to analyse in this race,oflate the trend at Mysore is that the local based horses are getting the better of Bangalore horses,this race looks like one where the trend may continue. However without going into the details of the runners,I am giving this race a bye,yes even for studious purposes. May the best horse win :)  RACE 2:For class V horses over 1100 mts (4yo+)  On form,there are two previous winners in the current season in the fray in  Encourager  and  Samajdaar Fashion Flame  has been putting in some game performances whilst finding on better in its last two starts,hopefully the cut in distance might work to its favour  Then there is  Tic Tac Toe  which is out of a speedy mare,the

BANKROLL LEFT:37,350 The only return since the last report card was on Torchbearer for 2000 at 16/10 and Adiella at 75/100 for 1000 Now that I have calculated and posted the returns which include the losses too  MONTHLY STATISTICS  TOTAL NO OF SELECTIONS:133  WITHDRAWLS:3 WINNERS:30 Strike Rate=22.55%  TOTAL NO OF BETS IN INVESTMENT PLAN:58  Succesful Bets:12  Strike Rate=20.68%  Four days of competitive racing await us,with Mysore tomorrow and dayafter followed by Pune. Will renew my investment plans and by the end of the week post my monthly analysis. Keep watching this space for Mysore selections  Hope you are enjoying your Diwali,take care 

Friends,              Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Diwali!!! 

Friends,               Going slow would be my mantra until Thursday,good that Hyderabd races were interesting to me for a change on Monday although I had no winners.  Pursuit Of Fame  under a peach if a ride from  S.John  won the Golconda St.Leger,Tuesday's races comprises of eight races,with one 2 yo race (the first in the country for this crop) will be the feature of the day. Again as evident it is am going through a lean patch,read my analysis and following my choice or not is something you have to decide......  RACE 1:A race for Cat 1 horses over 1400 mts Acclaimed ,who was in sublime form went down to  Machiavellianism ,now facing local horses in a handicap.  Without pondering much into the details of the other runners,I feel  Machiavellianism  is home and dry,A strictly No Bet race this,my choice is purely academic  My Choice:#1 Machiavellianism Win  RACE 2:A cat.4 race over 1100 mts  Royal Glow  has been running some decent races when compared to the rest of the field,is tra

Friends,              Let me be quite Honest With you,the Past week has been very bad. I have tried my best yet I had too many horses finishing second,and some not even gracing the board. Thus I have decided to analyse next weeks card and do my best,Hope luck keeps us in good stead. Sorry for the followers too.  NOTE:THE INVESTMENT PLAN HOWEVER WILL BE DISCONTINUED FOR THE TIME BEING,WILL POST MONTHLY STRIKE RATES EITHER ON TUESDAY EVE OR WEDNESDAY MORNING.  RACE 1:A race for horses in Cat.3 over 2200 mts  Killer Instinct ,which ran a rather surprisingly good race is the top contender in this race,it retains the same jockey aboard and steps up a little in the trip  The immediate danger should come from  Star player ,who has obviously done well this season yet hasn't tasted victory since its maiden win,is now taking a leap in trip and can hope to do well as the running style suggests Vijays Splendour  is a winner over 2400 mts in its career,now running with a change in jockey and co
