Sirocco's Racing Post

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...

Hello Friends,                         After topsy-turvy results on day 1 India's premier racing center did return to sanity on sunday and with a compact card of seven races for this mid week meeting,here is my analysis and personal facies for the same. Race 1:A class V race over 1000m(5yo+) Pezzonovante,Queen of Venus,Polar Zone these three horses come into my reckoning for the opener of the day not that i have completely disregarded others but i feel that these three inspite of being 6yo's have it in them to run a good race here of these three only Polar Zone is a winner over this trip and has the better jockey of the three,one cause of concern however is the draw and it needs a good jump to make its presence felt Queen Of Venus is also running some game races,his draw is on the inner side and that may be a boon or disaster as he is known to stalk rather than lead,anyways he is having a decent chance here of ...

Hello Friends,                         The month of November has been quite a lull for me and as such i would try my level best to get back to my earlier strike-rate,thank you for some encouraging and not so encouraging comments,I hope we get back to good ways sooner than latter until then exercise caution and take my blog with a pinch of salt Race 1:A class V race over 1100m Al Dhama, who was once a winner in class III is now getting itself demoted to the lowest class and has a change in jockey to Madhubabu who is  a good jockey in this center inspite of the fact that he has not opened his account in this season and is the prime contender according to me in this race Stride to Succes, who is now having a dual change in shoes and jockey will be the one to look out for in this race especially being a winner over 1100m earlier in a maiden class race in its career Caesaria and Act of Glory, who both locked horns in ...

Race 1: Vaani and Ama Shukum ,the two older horses have already performed over this trip and will be the surprise packages especially over this trip but the emphasis will be on the youngsters and Zurvan,Mizuno and Sanjit are the ones that may have a bigger say in this race,the last named horse has a good jockey aboard and with an earlier good performance over 7f trip in higher class gets my first vote ahead of Milano and Zurvan who are contenders nevertheless My Choice:#1 Sanjit Win  Race 2: Songstress is the one that could well be the best of the older lot here as it is taking quite a drop in ratings and being a higher class winner may try to make a race out of it,however there are a couple of youngsters who may do well here in Maharaana and Winning Fortune, of whom the formers last run is best ignored,earlier finished second over the same trip and is prepared well with a mock Race to go with it and is my prime fancy My Choice:#6 Maharaana Win  Race 3: Crixus  a...

Race 1: Madiba,Charming Beauty and Bharat Princess, these are the horses that look like doing well in this race,earlier in the winter the so-called mumbai jockey was flown in to give a ride to Madiba for his retainers and now again he finds himself with a single mount in an entire card and has to beat only a couple of horses and thus becomes my prime fancy in the opener of the day. My Choice:#5 Madiba Win  RACE 2: Cashel and Euro Zone both seem like possible contenders as they have earlier run benefit and the former seems like having a definite edge here, Charlie Brown may look to make a race out of it due to the change in shoes,the debutant is seemingly working well on the tracks and having the top jockey in the saddle for the baby race and an inner draw makes it a decent chance and as such is my personal fancy My Choice:#11 Without Makeup Win  Race 3: Yet Another, had a forgettable run last time out and with some good preparation cannot be ruled out here, Buckshee w...

Hello Friends,                         November has not been so good analytically for yours truly,with rains threatening races at Bangalore the action for this week on this week is exclusively in the city of joy,Winter's first classic The Calcutta 1000 Guineas 2015 (Gr.3) , will  be the feature event on what promises to be an interesting day of thoroughbred racing RACE 1: Say You Say Me, has the services of top jockey and is out of WinLegend catches my eyes first in this baby race,the horse has been subject to only two track spurts and that is a little cause of concern otherwise this horse on breeding alone should run a good one, Cielo Del Este is the now who seems well prepared going by track work,he must be forward enough to run a bold one here, Hondo Monterey looks like the surprise package. My Choice:#1 Cielo Del Este Win  RACE 2: Zacara, who is a winner in this class previously has had two for...

Dear Friends,                         Mumbai Season for the year 2015-2016 will be off in just a few hours from now and I wish my readers a very happy and Prosperous Mumbai season,the first day has 7 races and here is my analysis and personal fancies of the same RACE 1: Zafirah, who despite being a 5yo has been consistent enough in this class  and is going over the right trip with a good jockey and is the strong contender in this race,the likes of Devoted,Pracs and Moroccan will try to make a race out of it, Devoted's last run is curious enough to have a second look at it despite the nature of saddle support, Pracs ( ex- Theory)  is taking a deep step down in distance and may try to force the pace at these weights, Moroccan is a horse which selects itself by default as it has come run a close third in the same class last time and is now getting a change in jockey to a claimer and will hope to do better with t...

Hello Friends,                          The weather did play spoilsport with respect to Bangalore racing and we have had an extended racing holidays stretching from tuesday to friday,with weather permitting we might well have racing on saturday at calcutta,here is my take on the races for tomorrow and personal fancies RACE 1: Earnest Ruler, who has run in very good company earlier on in its career is now running with a long lay-off and is seemingly prepared well and as such is the horse they all have to look out for in this race, Cayman Islands, although looks a very good contender in this race I guess he has to wait for his turn later on in the season,so that leaves us out with Cafe Rio and Imara, the former is seemingly working well on the trial tracks last run is suggestive of a liking to extended ground and has a decent jockey in the saddlle and thus is my personal fancy in the opener of the day My Choice:#5 Cafe...

RACE 1: Meheran the horse on a juggernaut winning effortlessly in its last 3 races is pitched up against a seemingly good youngster in Chal Dhannu Chal, who incidentally was piloted by the same jockey who is riding today and after a run in a Gr.1 race the latter seemings holds an edge in my opinion and is my personal fancy of the two My Choice:#3 Chal Dhannu Chal Win  RACE 2: Dancing Leaf, is seemingly well prepared and has the pedigree to sprint it out here,this is otherwise a race which might be as good as shooting in the dark. My Choice:#6 Dancing Leaf Win  RACE 3: Alameda,Power Planet and Golden Arrow all ran together in the last race and by the look of it the winner of that race looks good yet again,the surprise package may be Celestial Fire  My Choice:#2 Alameda Win  RACE 4: EIN EIN EIN, whose win last time out was easy on the eye is the main contender according to me in this race, Midnight In Paris is another horse that just cannot be ruled out.Ta...

RACE 1: A No Whip contest to get on with the affairs on sunday at Malakpet, Masti coming from top stables also has a promising apprentice on top and with some speedy track trials should be in strong contention here,then there is Tokyo Bloom who cleared its maiden ranks over a similar trip should be right there especially with the rest and able preparation, Golden Angel and Angel Bell are there,both have won in this class earlier and should be in the reckoning the latter especially should be the one to look out for. Tokyo Bloom, being a maiden class winner,looking good in the preparations and having a decent claimer is my first choice here followed by Masti who tried start to finish tactics over a mile and is stepping down in trip now My Choice:#2 Tokyo Bloom Win  RACE 3: Bouquet, who is now getting a huge change in saddle support will be one of the main contenders in this race,both Golden Storm and Romantic Fire are a threat to whoever wants to win this race,then there is Eg...

RACE 1: Hostess who ran a good second last time out at Mysore gets a switch in jockey and as such will be in strong contention in this race,horses like Mister Grey and Summer Sky who have quite a habit of hitting the front would also be in contention, Allez Royale is now getting itself demoted and for a horse who has finished second in Maiden class earlier in its career this bunch may prove to be its blessing,my personal fancy on what seems like a tricky class V affair to open the day My Choice:#1 Allez Royale Win  RACE 2: Our Little Dragon who has once raced in class III is now running with Trevor Patel in the saddle and as such is one of the strong contenders in this race,then there is Goodwill Warrior who has been in the thick of things during its last run at Mysore and Millrose who had skipped the Mysore season completely is looking like another strong contender here in this race and in my view these three should throw a winner My Choice:#7 Millrose Win/Place RACE 3: B...
