Congrats Antonios

Hearty congralutations to Antonios winner of Indian dery which won superbly breaking previous record.It was moving best of lot,was badly checked near 800mts,yet accelerated very well when asked for.Full credit must be given to Jockey D Seousa for his brilliant riding.

Setalights defeat has marred reputation of Mallesh narredu beyond repair.Showing wind early was too silly mistake to be expected from jockey of his calibre.There were rumours afloat that he might have done willingly,i do not agree with it.He has been here for too long,must have made enough money,one cannot expect him to barter his prestige for money at this point of his career.

Setalights defeat drowned sea of hopes.There was hush of silence for few seconds in HRC.Iam sure this must have been the scene in all race clubs.Who is to be blamed for her defeat?

• Jockey: For showing wind too early?
• Trainer:For not stretching his horse completely in all earlier races,today when it required she simply could not.Why did he over work his horse?
• Heat:Heat affects uniformly to all horses,when other fancied runners obliged,infact many of them breaking course records,y cannot setalight perform?
• Jinx:Jinx of favourites not winning in indian derby,winners of Ruia gold cup not winning Derby.
• There was huge betting on Setalight,roughly 300 crores which means a payout of 150 crores in this time of recession,did something happened backstage to ensure that existence of bookies is not threatened?

Lastly it was indeed heartening to see our beloved Shyam and Tiger tipping Antonios.Full credit must be given to them and i express my gratitude towards them on behalf of all visitors.
