1-5 Kitty Hawk 2-4 Carbonora 3-7 Oscillation 4-3 Magical Memory 6-1 Colombiana 7-7 Fortitude 8-1 Jimbo Day's Best:Magical Memory  Have a nice day,gamble responsibly

1-1 Isinit appeals due to its third in upper class on 2nd oct and also the fact that this is a d-2 race,challengers are Milwalkee and Headlines for obvious reasons. 2-1 Frosty appeals on sheer class and age factor going for it,tricky race otherwise if the penalty it incurred on Golconda Oaks go against it. 3-3 Elegant Beauty has the class hierarchy going for it and it would be a surprise if it doesnt fare well in the third of the day. 4-6 Viking seems to be the value choice in what should be an open race with Spiridon  and Dolphin as possible contenders. 6-3 Brabourne has to contend with the well bred debutante in Arabian Storm to claim the prize here,Zanzibar is the dark un 7-2 Arctic Whizz the demotee if it could carry weights is a top contender here,pretty much a tricky affair otherwise 8-1 Maduro being a maiden class winner and higher class runner in both Bombay and a million runner in B'lore appeals as a top contender to close the day, Airlift and Lady in Red are ...

Hello Friends,                         So Mumbai racing season has reached a stage where there is nothing much to look forward to with the majority of Black Type races in the burner and a few handicap races to keep the Interest going,my last post was more of a guide rather than a tipping thing which I used to do,On that note would try to do the same again with comments for every horse,followed by personal preferences. Race 1 Uncle Scrooge: Class V win to clear maidens followed by a class IV win,the trip is a big? as horse is cutting down a lot in trip,difficult. Cezzane: Old in tooth,have always done well over 5 furlongs,not in the hunt here Chizzler: 2/2 so far in its career,Same class winner yet on the improving curve,keep an eye Bounty Queen: Maiden class winner,Lower Class Winner and Same Class winner,last run was bad but has been a surpriser sort in its career Merabella: Debut winner in class IV and later won...

Race 1  Red fort-same class winner,last start was horrible but so is the set here  Ritz-decent performer with respect to the set here it takes on,keep an eye   Roman Gold-Youngster and going over the trip for the first time,Dam is a winner over this trip and is the joker in the pack  Black jaguar-another horse who is jumping big in distance,Lagad known for such tactics but somehow this horse doesn't inspire wild confidence  Star scholar-young,decent runs when compared to this set and a huge switch in jockey,positive vibes on this horse  Close call as the field is small and we have only one winner in the field,as I said star scholar has the intent going for it and then there is roman gold who has the bloodlines to upset Second race  Brynhill-same class winner  Brahmachari-class 2 winner,sprinters cup runner but ratings went from 85 to 100+ due to third in a Terms race,now below 100 in a long time,has a chan...

Hello Friends,                          Here are my views for day 2 of the invitation weekend which features the Big one  THE INDIAN TURF INVITATION CUP (GRADE I) Race 1: A race for 3yo maidens to open the day, Aaron The Baron/Cantabria/Minniver Rose/Queen Latifa/Sheer Magic being my shortlisted contenders, Queen Latifa had a decent debut and with that run under her belt should do well in the opener of the day. My Choice:#12 Queen Latifa Win  Race 2: A class IV race over an absorbing trip of 1800mts and to be frank this race is quite open with both the URBB horses in the hunt,the choice of jockey on Chloe should not be a dampener as i feel it can do well over this trip,also Jersey Beauty after a good lung opener has a change in jockey and is the prime contender here, Flirting Eyes  is another horse with some good chance to clear its maiden ranks,a tough call to make but I'm going with a yard that is ...

Hello Friends,                         It is a late post and i hope by the time i complete it it isnt too late to post,day 1 features THE Dr.MAM RAMASWAMY MEMORIAL STAYERS CUP and THE MYSORE RACE CLUB SPRINTERS CUP both Gr.1 races in what is akin to the Breeders cup in India..... Here are some thoughts about the feature and the undercard in what promises to be a day of some good racing Race 1: A class IV affair to start the day that too for the older horses, D'Accord is a failed fav at  bombay class 4 last time out and is the highest rated amongst the maiden horses in the fray and should be respected in the opener of the day. Amazing Desire although is one of the oldest horses in the fray is a winner of the erstwhile class II and now class I race 3 years ago and the horse has showed some spark in its last few runs and with a change in jockey should not be discarded here, Hurrah is one more contender as it won a class V...
