AFROJACK-VICTORIAN VICE.

5. STRINOFMYHEART has good speed to keep interested well into the straight, but the class penalty is against a repeat with this rookie. ANGEL’S PURSUIT & TAMARAI are the two 5 year olds who can upset, both are regaining form. REBECCA has good initial speed and will run well here. ALIYANA could not deliver last time and the owner P UDHAS went home SAD that day, has a handicap jockey now. AFLAME is in form to go for it.

ICE STONE-SHOWINOFF-WANDERING WAYS.

2. LITTLE LION can get on the board in the very weak field. MAGNETISC POWER has been prepared for the day. POWER GRID may run a forward race. SANFRANSISCO GIRL is the one who can through a challenge at low weights.

MAGNETIC POWER-SAN FRANSISCO GIRL-LITTLE LION.

3. SAM’S PRIDE has improved a bit over the last two weeks, needs a run. WINDSTREAM is very well prepared. SPEEDY GIRL had warmed up late in last run, will be in the fray here. SUSSEX DOWNS has a weak rider.

6. FIRE ZONE may upset as he is well rested. TOMSK was warming up in the final stages last time. TANZANITE is retaining form. SOVETSKAYA has completed a hat trick and now faces a tough charge against seasoned ones, note the rider switch also. ACCURATE is on the fringe of striking, he is a good type. BLUTEUS MAXIMUS returns to favorite distance and has a handicap chance.

INDIAN DERBY DAY

1. MACHALA was kept easy in last run, has a chance with the good rider. CELSIUS belongs to a canny trainer who likes to hide potential of his horses by insipid runs, this one is working fine. MONEY STRIKE has been prepared for the day by this small time trainer cum owner and will be in the fray. FANTASTIC KNIGDOM showed improvement in last run and can upset.

MONEY STRIKE-FANTASTIC KINGDOM-CELSIUS.

2. FORTUNE HUNTER has a chance here as he has won in this class before and has staying lines. CLINTON was a very easy winner in poor company, looks improved but has to beat the stiff penalty. PERSIAN can stay well, last run was good. CARLYLE HILLS has not showed upto expectations , low weights and staying bloodlines are in favor of improved run.

FORTUNE HUNTER-CLINTON-PERSIAN.

3. SILK CUT is in good form. INCOGNITO has been prepared for the first outing, handicap and rider appeal. Oldie ENCHANTMENT has again been well prepared for the day. SCARLET PIMPERNEL looks for hat trick, handicap and step up in distance may go against. VIBGYOR has a chance to do well over pet trip at low weights.

INCOGNITO-SCARLET PIMPERNEL-VIBGYOR.

4. RED BARON is a got abroad who has been well prepared after an easy outing. SCASRLATTI and CAPITAL ATTRACTION have to show lots of improvement to do well here. SMOKEY BABA has always tracked well, the sire is weak. SUN SALUTATION has performed the best out of the lot, can do well with the average rider.

RED BARON-SUN SALUTATION-SMOKEY BABA.

5. ONASSIS is a class horse who maintains form. DEAR HENRY has the good fly in rider for the non performing stables. PORT RUSH is the grand old good type who can vanquish all even at this age.

PORT RUSH-ONASSIS.

6. BELMONT is a failed favorite who has been well tracked. BLUE ACE was a noticeable finisher with good bloodlines. NASERIAN is best on tracks and was finishing on against a very good type winner. AUSTERITY impressed in last run. EDWINA was well backed by connections but failed to deliver.

NASERIAN-AUSTERITY-BELMONT.

7. P Shroff has given good odds for his owners in the two lead up classics, first on ALMA MATER when public fancied SMASHING, and reversed the order to get the other one to perform in the Oaks. On this logic I feel today it may be the turn of PICCASSO who was denied a win by PRONTO PRONTO in the 2000 Guineas. He is the most impressive in works and has good distaff bloodlines, the sire has been ordinary and does not get winners over a trip but this horse has lots of class. PRONTO PRONTO with this rider may not make it the Derby distance. MAM ‘s STAR MARQUESS would have gobbled up CARDINAL in the Ruia cup and hence is a threat to all. HILLS AND STARS has good credentials and the trip should suit, notwithstanding the top rider for the Big race.

PICASSO-STAR MARQUES-HILLS AND STARS.

8. SUGAR LOAF is a failed favorite. OUR CHIEFTAIN has been prepared for the race, ignore in and out running. COCCINELLA is by a top mare and has to be respected in sprints, last win was too good. SALT continues to disappoint. HOCKENHEIM has a rider switch.

COCCINELLA-OUR CHIEFTAIN-SALT.

9. DISTANT PROMISE looks good on handicap. APOCALYPSE has been held back in runs, can win today. HELEN may show improvement. SILEN STROKES is a speedy one. MONEY FLASH is looking good in works.

1. ELENA is a top sprinter in form and should win at cramped odds. PERSIAN LILY who recorded a good win in fast time may pose a challenge.

ELENA-PERSIAN LILY.

2. HAUNTING FANTASY may have been given runs, last year performance was marred by a doping case, has credentials. SERGEANT PEPPER was a good 4th and in fine form. LAKE GENEVA has not been able to deliver despite some promises. EL CLASSICO has much to cover in handicap.

SERGEANT PEPPER-HAUNTING FANTASY-LAKE GENEVA.

3. BLUE WONDER is most impressive in preparation and the full brother to HATCHETT HARRY has a chance to win. SNOW FLAKE has been given an easy run, looks much improved now. SCARLET MINSTREL has come up with the runs. SERENA is full sister to SERGEANT PEPPER and should be fighting out.

SERENA- BLUE WONDER-SCARLET MINSTREL.

4. KALINGA STAR has a rider switch, earlier win over this trip was easy. SAVAGE GARDEN had just about got the win against EQUIANO, can run well again. GLOWING MIST has hardly been penalized for the last win. IBIS has the rider repeating, looks good on handicap. ADVENTURER is bound to be tried with this rider.

IBIS-SAVAGE GARDEN-GLOWING MIST.

5. STAR BUILDER is tracking well after the last fighting run. ETESIAN is bound to be in the fray here. MISHRI has been given a run, last run at Pune was eye catching. MASTER OF THE SKY is tracking well, jockey is a looser by habit. PURPLE PATCH is a well bred who failed to accelerate under the whip in last run.

MISHRI-ETESIAN-MASTER OF THE SKY.

6. DEMONSTRATOR is a good type who has been given runs and now has a jockey switch after some tracks. AMADEUS remains in contention despite the loss due to top weight. DOVE’S HILL is on the up. DANCING GLANCES lost narrowly to a top sprinter, low weights will favor.

DANCING GLANCES-DEMONSTRATOR-AMADEUS.

7. CENT PER CENT has the jockey to deliver after the last easy run with a work jockey. DAUGHTER OF DESTINY has a handicap chance to upset. JACQUES is half brother to celebrated JACQUELINE, has impressed in works, the trainer is known for winning only at good odds. FLASH FORWARD is in good form and can win in this company.

JACQUES-CENT PER CENT- FLASH FORWARD.

8. SOUTHERN OPINION appears to me as a classic type and should take a good horse to beat him. MACHIAVELLIANISM was an impressive winner but has top company at this centre, bloodlines are encouraging. SILVER BIRCH was an impressive winner who is in fine fettle. COCKTAIL CIRCUIT is tracking very well. DAYS BEST is a top bred full brother to TSAVORITE , has been given an easy run and can do well now with this rider.

SOUTHERN OPINION-DAYS BEST.

9. BEYOND COMPARISON & LORD OF KILLARNEY have lots of early speed to spoil the temperament of the hopefuls. VIVA LA DIVA who was blatantly pulled has got the services of a top jockey to draw punters money, the horse looks an unsure type to me, has not won for long. AL HUZZAH had spoilt the party for the favorite in a made up race last time, the horse has come to hand And will run well again. WALKING TALL was disqualified after winning, no penalty and it may tempt the small time trainer for a kill as odds will be good and handicap is favorable.

2. SUMMER SUN has a weak jockey for this trip, has worked well. ARGENTUM is a known bleeder who has a rookie, looks best on handicap. NORTH CAPE can run a forward race. RAAGA flopped badly as a hot favorite and like all such cases was known to have bled, it appears to be a routine here that whenever a hot favorite who has been packed from the stables , is declared a bleeder the moment he flops, AFFIRMATIVE from the notorious stables was such a case last week. RAAGA has capability to recover for the loses as the field is for the taking. By virtue of a weak field B Puttana, one of the worst trainer’s at this centre may find his horse opening as a favorite as a good rider is atop. ROYAL SPIRIT has worked well and can win since no other horse looks capable. HILLTON is a morning glory with a work jockey, has good bloodlines but has not trained well.

ROYAL SPIRIT-RAAGA-HILLTON.

3. STELLAR AMBITION is a good one with this scheming trainer who got a maiden winner in first run may be for the first time in his training career. The horse is working very well. TREASURE MOUNTAIN is a well bred who by default has landed in a weak racing centre, he demolished the opposition with a scintillating run over this trip. ALDERSON is yet to come to hand. THUNDERBAY is from a speedy mare and should be considered in sprints.

SILKEN TOUCH-OPTIMUS PRIME-VALAHAK.

7. CELESTIAL SON needs to be followed, something was not right in last run. ITS MY PARTY ran nicely with a rookie, now has a decent chance. MARK OF GENIUS is coming to hand. STAR OF DESIRE failed to do anything when favored last time.

CELESTIAL SON-ITS MY PARTY-STAR OF DESIRE

8. HACKETT was a good 2nd, has a try jockey. SHIVALIK PRINCE has worked pleasingly. SARATOGA SPRING was not convincing in last labored win, has trained on. CHANTILLY who is tracking fast has a terrible jockey. NO DOUBT has credentials to win at good odds for this average trainer who is known for in & out running of his wards.

A FLEETING THOUGHT AT THE STING

2012-01-23T08:51:00.002+05:30

Many years ago I was really taken in by the plot of the moovie "THE STING". It showed real cunning in racing and is a much watch movie for racing fans. Also in my life I have been fortunate to raed most of the fascinating books written by the jumps jockey DICK FRANCIS who had first hand knowledge of the inside details of the deeds and minds of people associated with racing in Europe and he came out with amazing tales of how people plan and often succed in fooling the racing system.

With no intent to hurt anybody's sentiments or reputation, the script of the recntly run Indian Classics INDIAN 1000 Guineas & INDIAN OAKS makes me reminiscent about the books of the above mentioned rider cum author.

SMASHING with an immacable record and form was favored to win the 1000 Guineas and horses like ALMA MATER and othewrs were considered to be ordinary in comparison based on breeding, opposition faced and so on. However the race was run totally against the script presumed by most and SMASHING was found to be in trouble and hugging on to the rails even at two furlong marker, the rider also lost his stick in the confusion as the public watched in awe as the other horse from the stable who was at big odds started to eat up ground like a champion and finished well to cover many lengths in the last scramble. The owners must have made a killing at the odds.

All the hoopla in the stables was focussed on the preparation and breeding and what not of the top contenders for the OAKS and now ALMA MATER looked to be a cut above all. One of the top foreign jockey rides her and draws most of people's money onto the fancied one. The race run will show an amazing turn around, SMASHING who was available at killing odds has no problems in staying the trip of 50 % extra than when she floundered in Guineas and shows tremendous liking for this trip and goes awy with a turn of foot to amaze all except who may have plotted this run. The favored ALMA MATER is found well back most of the time and then runs into traffic problems under a master of the big races and appears on the scene only when the winner has gone well away. It must have been a good gamblefor the owners and connections of the failed favorite of the Guineas.

For years I have been suggesting in my humble way the need for grouping horses belonging to the same connections as is done in advanced countries in the world. Why leave people fumong with doubts and what not. The DOOSRA game is repeated in our racing centres with repeated regularly and this is a menace which spoils the image of this fine sport of whic I am an avid fan.

The mock race over 1800m was won with ease and the only problem may be lack of maturity.
