Hyderabad 25th Feb

Visited HRC on sunday..Saw too many people carrying printouts of blog selections.Having spent a entire day in ring i concluded that if you have no connection or inside info you must not be betting on Hyd races.In sixth race of sunday i was tipped by a local cutter that  a rider boy has cut big on Catalina,it won.This harms handicappers twice as they tend to consider Yours Truly's run as genuine but the fact was that all other runners were just looking other way and hence it could end up second.i was informed that Staying best is not first choice of stables no wonder it finished offboard and stablemate Hometown Hero was seen trying its best

Levying of service tax of 12.5% on tote is killing the sport.place dividends are measly and big disappointment to most of the small time punters.And there is mysterious case of suspending SHP pool for other centres,God knows if this was a move to help bookies.Bookies of hyd ring offer not more than 1.5 for place even if the horse is in longer odds.Hyderabad till last few years was one of the best centre,now it looks like it is competiting with Chennai and Mumbai{in terms of dividends,not quality}

Two per race is selected ,first one is for win and latter for upset/place.

Look for positive race time trends and judge accordingly
