Indian Derby Day 05-02-2017

Hello Friends,
                        Looking forward to the biggest race of the racing season all Winter it is the day of the Indian Derby,here are my views for the day

Race 1:A race with dilemmic proportions for me to choose,we have in here three runners who run with a chance but it is anybody's race,Serinita ofcourse is the cynosure of all in here and the horse has a good record to match it up with then there is Shivalik Shine who has this habit of missing the break yet has a good flourish to make a race out of it despite the jockey change and then there is Undisputed who ha been on board twice this season and has a jockey who has a good partnership with this horse and this being a race over a sprint and hoping that there is good strong pace at the front Shivalik Shine may be the horse with a real chance given the race unfolds to its liking and is my personal fancy to open the day

My Choice:#1 Shivalik Beauty Win

Race 2:Boring affair,dont even know where are the other milers to compete here.

Race 3:If you ask me this race is purely between these two,Sovereignsky and His Masters Vice for obvious reasons as jockey switches and age,between them I think His Masters Vice has it in him to do the trick going by the way he is being prepped for this race

My Choice:#7 His Masters Vice Win 

 Race 4:A million race for horses in the lower class.Astara,Firenze,Brazos are the three horses in my radar,not that others dont a chance but these three appeal in what is an open affair,amongst them I think Brazos who finished second in the higher class and on demotion with a switch in jockey is where the value is.

My Choice:#4 Brazos Win/Place

 Race 5:Perfect Star was made to ride wide and lost out by a nost finishing on well in its last start and with a decent dam who threw a classic winner in Equine Lover he is a major player in this race,the same can be said of Zanara who finished on well too and now has a greater switch in jockey and between them I opt for the former just for the bloodlines.

My Choice:#7 Perfect Star Win 

 Race 6:Nothing much to read into this race as majority of the field compromises of the unknowns and I feel the winner would make a smashing debut,Gallant Knight,Benefactor and Caprisca being my shortlisted horses and amongst them the draw the jockey and the preperations favour Benefactor and is my personal fancy here

My Choice:#2 Benefactor Win 

 Race 7:A hell of a race in the offing as the derby doesnt have a superstar like Be Safe walking into the derby,most of the horses have been winners and losers and that makes this race ironically as one of the competitive in the recent years.Temerity has been defying my belief run after run and proving out to be a sturdy animal but then it has its own temper and that is a negative,Sergant At Arms has it all going out for him if this race is all about class and form and will be looking to emulate Be Safe and Alaindiar for a Bangalore Summer Derby to Winter Derby double and is a major player here no wonder he is the crowd favourite and then there is Hall of Famer who literally smashed the field at calcutta and is from a trainer who knows how to win big races and keep the form going,Salazar should be respected as it is opted over the eye catching Bangalore Winter derby winner in Tororosso and then there is Mathaiyus waiting to showoff in the highest class from a trainer who really knows what he is doing.... Supreme Geneal and Mrs Patmore being the joker in the pack.... one fascinating race it must be and where to put the money? it is where the heart would be and for me it is with Hall of Famer

 My Choice:#10 Hall of Famer Win 

 Race 8:Magical Memory ran a decent but unlucky race last time out losing out to Alishas Pet and with a simolar field this time should be in the hunt,Shaoqing is unbeaten over this trip so far and with the pull in weights should run a bold race here there is Benezer who is also coming out of a good race and in the hunt here along with Double Nine who has jockey in form and with two good runs over 5f in this class may look to exploit the pull in weights.My choice is Benezer as it has been working quite well and is tuned well to make a race of it here.

My Choice:#2 Benezer Win 

 DAYS BEST:3-7 His Masters Vice

 Good Bets:5-7 Perfect Star 8-2 Benezer

 HAVE A NICE DAY

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:#...
