Sirocco's Racing Post

Hi Friends,                     The last day of the year has Mumbai racing and the card is decent at best in what can be termed as 'compact' in nature,here is my analysis followed by personal fancies and Investment Plans for the day Race 1:A class V race over 1200m  Name of The Game is the first horse to appeal in this race mostly due to the jockey factor and also the fact that it is now getting demoted in class Ame and Allee Bleue both of them are making their handicap debut in class V which in itself is a pointer the latter is well placed with the claimer,the claimer is a ? according to me as his earlier performances doesn't muster any confidence anyways is a strong contender and may give the lad a well needed win Then there is Serene who is coming back into a handicap race with a decent run in the maiden class and with the same jockey and decent preparation can be the one that could spring a minor surprise here and is m...

Hi Friends,                     Sunday's racing consists a card of 8 races with the Indian 2000 guineas the second classic of the season,here is my selections with comments,hope it proves to be useful for the readers Race 2:#2 Shooting Star, after a decent debut is placed well in this group and with a scope for second lifetime improvement should do well here,odds is a concern though. Race 3:#3 Ladybird, who ran a good race behind Dancing Phoenix in a terms race is now dropping down in grade and as such I expect it to run a good race here. Race 4:#4 Ladislaus, is the best prepared horse,doesnt have illustrious bloodlines like some others yet is an interesting contender here and is an each way chance here. Race 5:#2 Adam is the obvious choice here as he has been pretty consistent over this trip,is coming after a lay-off and is prepared decently,the danger should be from Shivalik Storm and Your Royal Majesty. Race 6:#12 Holy Smok...

Hi Friends,                     Friday's races were decent enough and saturday's card has 8 races and here is my selections with comments,hope this is helpful to you Race 1:#9 Rare and Famous, with a benefit of a run and also decent preparation appeals the most in the opener of the day,was up with the pace on its seasonal debut and there is scope for some improvement here Race 2:#3 Saffron Intense, with a benefit of a run this season and age in its favour is the dark un in this race and is a decent each way chance, Flying Bullet has the knack of hitting the front and is another horse handy in what looks to be a very open affair not due to abundance of form but due to the lack of it. Race 3:#6 Super Strong  did well to beat a good field at Mysore and now with a benefit of run here against what seemed like very good company and a change in jockey warrants a good look in this race and is my personal fancy Race 4:#6 Silver Leg...

Hi Friends,                     The BWM is proving to be a interesting one with two new classic winners in the past two weeks,this week has 2 race days and here is my short selections with comments,hope its useful Race 1:#4 Oye Como Va, with a dual change of shoes and jockey and a run behind the 3yo demotee Catos Call looks like a good contender here. Race 2:#6 Adulation, is well bred with Altimara as its dam is seemingly forward in its trails and should run a good race here in my opinion,keep an eye on Running Flame progeny as Paddy has a knack of upsetting with youngsters Race 3:#1 Alexandrite, is basically the default contender according to me and inspite of being a filly and conceding weight can give a good account of herself here with a benefit of a run Race 4:#1 Areca Wonder, again appeals on his start to finish run against the too-good Southern Surprise the other day despite giving chunks of weight,now over 6f and YSS in...

Race 1:#6 Ice Galcier looks like the that can open its career with a win,horse is seemingly forward in the tracks,can win here if not follow later Race 2:#4Dracarys after a forward run with the pace last time out is subject to a channge in shoes and is now well placed here and with a drop in distance should do well here Race 3:#8 Noble Sapphire if it can stay an extra yard can do well at these weights where the threat should naturally come from one of the two 5yo's in the top of the scales,decent chance Race 4:#7 WildWildWest after a forward run in this season over 7f,drops down in grade now and is a good each way chance here Race 5:#5 Saladdin after opening as a favourite against Angel Dust on debut before playing up and loosing all its chances in paddock itself,the trainer has given good rest and should do here on paper strength itself,odds are worth a rethink Race 6:#8 Vencedora advertised her return to form with a good win last time out this season and now is placed ...

Hello Friends,                         The Mumbai card has eight races slated for the day with the running of The Deltin Stayers Challenge as the feature of the day along with The Metro Motors H M Mehta Sprint Challenge as an additional attraction in the course of the day,as such both races have a decent purse as per Mumbai standards and the accreditation of a graded status may follow in the coming years for these races.Here is my analysis and personal fancies for the day Race 1:A class III race over 1200m (5yo+)  Sindbaad and Basic Life two horses in the bottom of the scales look like possible contenders here the second named horse has been hovering around in these weights for sometime and with the claimer may try to take advantage of the feather weight Vasco Da Gama albeit the long layoff has winning form,keep an eye Then there is the trio of Hunt For Heads,Beyond Horizon and Samba Warrior in the fray and ...

Hello Friends,                         The saturday's card of bangalore has 9 races and two graded races amongst them which also includes the first classic of the winer season,The 1000 Guineas. Race 1:A class v race over 1400m  Amazing Skill,New Mallet,Way We Were and Desert Gilt are the four horses that come into contention due to Age as a factor,the first and last named horses have been subject to positive change in jockeys too and as such should be in strong contention here. Flash Fire is the horse that appeals of the older lot,however I feel Desert Gilt whose last run is suggestive enough and is my personal fancy My Choice:#6 Desert Gilt Win  Race 2:A race for 2yo Maidens over 1200m Krieger,Aster Rose and Mistress Of Spice seem like the possible contenders here,the second named horse seems to be very forward going but the pedigree as per my understanding hints at a slightly longer trip Krieger...

Hello Friends,                         Before anything else here is two things I wish to convey first deep condolences on the passing away of Racing Baron Dr.MAM Ramasamy and second I hope all our friends at Chennai are safe in what seems like an event of disastrous proportions Race 1:A race for maiden 3yos only over 1400m Natural Gift, who ran behind Make Way For Me in his last start the winner having won again at Calcutta makes him one of the key contenders in this race Khayyam  a debutant from the top yard has been subject to some decent preparation and as such is a live-force in this race Velvet Amari, who has been in contention for quite sometime now has run a poor race last time out and as such should not be neglected as it has been the experienced of the lot My Choice:#2 Khayyam Win  Race 2:A race for class IV horses over 2400m Danse Debonaire and Savage Garden are two long distance horses who h...

Hello Friends,                         Munbai racing has a compact card of 7 races this sunday,I certainly hope that by december we get to see well filled cards,here is my analysis and selections for four of the seven races to be held tomorrow Race 3:A class III race over 1000m (5yo+) Invincible is definitely the horse that could be become the favourite in this race on his last start shocker of a win against youngsters over the 6f trip and as such should be in the reckoning here Umarkot  the other 5yo in the fray beat a good company over the same trip at Pune and after a couple of runs and now with Vaibhav  a jockey with a whip in the saddle comes into contention here Stormy Princess, has a run benefit and also been a good perfomer over this trip and is the interesting contender in this race given the fact that it is the sole horse with a run benefit this season Also,take a look at In The Limelight who onc...

Hello Friends,                         The day-2 of BWM was indeed an interesting card and I still feel that the season is yet to settle down,Day-3 has a good 9 race card and here is my analysis and personal fancies for the same Race 1:A class V race over 1400m (Div-II) Only Prince who ran fourth to Alvarez in its last start is now getting PSC in the saddle and as such on demotion is a strong contender in this race Last start winner Hard to Get, still a maiden but is placed well in this class in Tree Lounge and the late rushing Simra all seem like having a decent chance to do well here There are two youngsters in the fray,of whom Spiritual Act looks like a certain danger despite the jockey in the saddle,last run can be ignored earlier fourth in the same class and as such is a good each way fancy My Choice:#3 Spiritual Act Win/Place Race 2:Wish all the 2yo's who are making their debut all the very best Race 3:A c...

Hello Friends,                           If Nature permits for which we should for some more hours we may finally get some action on the BTC's turf,hopefully if that does happen then we are in for some good action Race 1:A race for 3yo maidens over 1400m Gabino,Hurrah,Silver Legend,Super Class and King Smile  five possible contenders and on a closer look I feel that the last three may have the upper hand Jocky S.John  who was a top flight jockey is making a comeback after a long gap and it would be advisable to see what his riding weight is before wagering,my choice is however  Silver Legend who was a failed favourite during its debut and is now seemingly well prepared and should run a good race here My Choice:#8 Silver Legend Won  Race 2:A race for class IV horses over 1100m [Div.II] Atlantis and Dignified almost from the same stables are the two horses that catch the eye here the fo...
