The Bangalore St.Leger (Gr.2)

An eight horse field will face the starter for the 2013 renewal of the Bangalore St.Leger (Gr.2)

This classic race for 4 yo's has attracted a quality field 

AN ACQUIRED TASTE(winner of Ruia Gold Cup)
BORSALINO (winner of Bangalore and Hyderabad summer/monsoon derbies)
FIRE ENGINE (first classic appearance)
MASTER SHIFU (placed at the Indian Derby)
SUPER STORM (winner of the Indian derby)
TINTINNABULATION(winner of Hyd winter derby and Invitation)
WIND STREAM (winner of Mysore derby and runner Indian derby)
SONG DYNASTY (placed at The Indian Oaks Gr.1)

As I have always said in my posts on horsetalk,a long distance race is a joy to watch simply because the race evolves like a story,with a good commentator like the one we had at Calcutta for the Stayers Cup (Gr.1) it will make the race even special. This race is now scheduled to be run on Wednesday at Bangalore.

Will post my views a day before the races

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 + switch in jockey,keep an eye,fair record in class IV Sheer Belie

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 grade with a chance in

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:#6 Showers of heaven for win/place  RACE NO 2:Class II race over a mile Two horse contest over
