 Hi
Blog will be closed on 5th Jan with posting of final verse of BhagvadGita in sidebar

In an extreme rare event of change in Taxation method of levying GST from turnover to Commission and Clubs shunning their ego to start a National Tote this blog will again become active!! Not happening at least till next 5 years :-) 

Final verse of Bhagvad Gita 
Thus ends the posting of one verse per day for the last 710 days 
Understanding the essence of Bhagvad Gita may be as easy as to accept that everything in this world belongs to God and our aim is to reach his supreme abode by doing good Karma Or can be as tough as to question each and every aspect of what's happening in this world. 

यत्र योगेश्वर: कृष्णो यत्र पार्थो धनुर्धर: |
तत्र श्रीर्विजयो भूतिध्रुवा नीतिर्मतिर्मम || 78||

yatra yogeshvarah krishno yatra partho dhanur-dharah
tatra shrir vijayo bhutir dhruva nitir matir mama


"Wherever there is Shree Krishna, the Lord of all Yog, and wherever there is Arjun, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be unending opulence, victory, prosperity, and righteousness. Of this, I am certain."

The Bhagavad Gita concludes with this verse delivering a deep pronouncement. Dhritarashtra was apprehensive of the outcome of the war. Sanjay informs him that material calculations of the relative strengths and numbers of the two armies are irrelevant. There can be only one verdict in this war—victory will always be on the side of God and his pure devotee, and so will goodness, supremacy, and abundance.

God is the independent, self-sustaining sovereign of the world, and the most worthy object of adoration, and worship. na tatsamaśh chābhyadhikaśhcha dṛiśhyate (Śhwetaśhvatar Upaniṣhad 6.8) [v44] “There is no one equal to him; there is no one greater than him.” He merely needs a proper medium to manifest his incomparable glory. The soul who surrenders to him provides such a vehicle for the glory of God to shine forth. Thus, wherever the Supreme Lord and his pure devotee are present, the light of the Absolute Truth will always vanquish the darkness of falsehood. There can be no other outcome.

Mumbai 27.11 Ante post

Sunday, November 27, 2022

 ANTE POST SELECTIONS
{Lot of options in all races, can work out the best bet after opening odds

Race-1: 6.House of Lords
GOLDIVA failed to show any initial speed, last run started slowly and this run is best watched. GOLDEN LIONESS ,a heavy built horse showed poor turn of foot, may be fancied in the handicap debut. NOSTALGIC appears to be best suited for 1400mts. HOUSE OF LORDS is better than Golden Lioness on 15/8 and 5/10 line, has best numbers, can burn both end successfully. LADY DIVA is full sister to TIMELESS, did not relish short straight of Pune, may improve over long straight of Mahalakshmi.
 
Race-2: 1.Dragoness
PHANTA was a winner of lower grade, timings are deceptive as all horses clocked fast timings on that day. HELA has a clean sheet in Mumbai, not placed in 9 appearances here. ALMAS has speed but drawn wide in hands of an apprentice rider. DRAGONESS improved gates manners after removal of Cross Nose Band, looks sharp in trial. MOMENT OF MADNESS loves Mahalakhsmi, can dart in front from a favorable draw and may end up in place money.
 
Race-3: 4. Kings Best
Horses rated below 39 can be ignored. OUTLANDER is a sprinter as his dam was winner of Breeder Sprint Cup at Keeneland. FINCH responded well to tying of Tongue strap, repeats in same C&D. KINGS BEST had an excuse in last run, beat FORTUNATE SON last season, has leading claims. LORD FENCIA a heavy built horse won a lower grade of maidens easily, has to change tactics over 7f here which the horse may not relish. JACK BUAER is consistent.
 
Race-4: 5. Mojito
A case can be made for many here. SUPERNATURAL the winner of Bangalore Derby has excellent record at home center. MOJITO is in red hot form and commands prime respect in the handicap debut. PETRONIA struggled at Pune but can bounce back in this favorable conditions. PRIDES ANGEL is in rousing form. RAFFAELO earned better TR than PRIDES ANGEL while finishing second in R104, Jockey has a cent percent winning record with this horse.
 
Race-5: 8. Portofino Bay
MIRANDA is related to good type Multitude & Remus, looks good in morning trials. NEW DIMENSION is related to EXOTIQUE, inherits speed and will be a leading contender. PORTOFINO BAY is foal of successful DAM, best suited for this trip.
 
Race-6: 1.Eleos
A 17 horses field where as many as 12 horses have no chance whatsoever. ELEOS ,offspring of a classy Dam stayed on well over 10f last time, drop in trip suits. MYSTERIOUS GIRL is a perfect miler who won well in last outing but this time has penalty to beat and a wide draw to deal with. RIGHT TO PRIVACY, a late debutant drops in class, well placed on scales. MOUNT SINAI ran on freely with aids of Tongue Strap last time, will extend best in this lower class. WILLY WONKA rallied on well, can land a place berth if any of the above falter.
 
Race-7: 1.She is on Fire
SHE IS ON FIRE is back on her fav hunting ground , leading claims. PERIWINKLE failed to deliver in a target class last time. DAGGER'S STRIKE has best TR in the set but failed 9 times in this class, clean sheet at Mumbai. AME should  retire. 
 
Post odds final Short listed betting Options



R1) 7 can be layed as it requires 1400, 5 does not appeal for Win either, will back 4 or 6 whichever remains below 8/1

R2) 1 will win easily only if takes a level jump, why take risk instead back 7 for place @2/1

R3) lot of money coming on 12!! But I am still confident on 4w@3/1 but need to hedge it with 5w@5/1 to cover investment*Edited*

R4) 5 is good but not worth below Evens as race is very tough, 2pl can be backed if 5 odds does not reach Evens *Edited*

R5) First timers so by default lay 7, 8pl looks very good ,  there is some murmur on 9, keep an eye 

R6) 1@11/10 is a steal

R7) 1@8/1 is the best each way(1:3 Ratio) of the day

Mysore 26.11 Ante Post and After opening Odds

Saturday, November 26, 2022

 Please follow money trail for this center
WORST HORRIBLE C GRADE CENTER, HOW COME SO MANY WITHDRAWALS, STIPES/STEWARDS SLEEPING? 

Ante Post
Race-1: 5. Rumour Lady
RUMOUR LADY stays at same mark despite finishing on board. COUNTRY'S PACE drops to target class, Jockey executed few gambles. KING'S COMMAND had an excuse last time, due for a gamble but needs to come from a wider draw for customary pace stalking style running. 

Race-2: 2. Viva La Vida
VIVA LA VIDA won with this Jockey in Monsoon, seen better days in Mumbai circuit. CALIFORNIA continues to struggle for an elusive win in this class. SURPRISE PACKAGE sprinted well from inner draw to just hold on at post, at par in this higher class and another similar efforts can yield decent result. PERCIVALE is better than VIVA LA VIDA on 29th September line but last run was below par.

Race-3: 1.White Lies
LIKE MY DADDY is the only C&D winner in the set, frequent change of equipment does not augur well for confidence required. WHITE LIES drops to the lowest class, expected to go all out. GABRIELLA will be ignored due to poor performance but can place here at good odds. GRAND CHEVALIER won with this Jockey, may not get the trip.

Race-4: 1.Royal Crown
ROYAL CROWN merits prime attention for positive switch in shoes and saddle support. O MANCHALI makes handicap debut but outermost box is a big negative for this front roller. TURF PRINCESS returned lame in debut, given gates and strode out well in final fast work.BEAUTIFUL OBLIVION made heavy weather of last win, does not appeal with this Jockey.

Race-5: 2. Amazonia
AMAZONIA contrary to her front style running was tested for a waiting run over 7f last time , can improve. IMPERIUS a light weighted filly  will try start to finish affair again. GEMINI goes with low weights in higher class. STAR JEWEL performed badly in last two runs, does not impress in gate practice.

Race-6: 4. Ochre
QUANDO QUANDO a light weighted filly is a failed fav of lower grade of this C&D. FACETS OF LIFE a winner in last run does not appeal due to a whipless Jockey and wide draw. OCHRE drops in class, Jockey has executed gambles for this stables.NRI LEVEL despite a slow start managed to find a place berth, not a genuine type.

Race-7: 6. Tactical Command
TACTICAL COMMAND will run better in hands of this Jockey, consistent and extends best in alternate race. HAVELOCK CRUISE runs in a handicap class, will try a start to finish affair. HIS EMINENCE won quite impressively last time, looks slightly ahead of handicapper, trainer has opted for positive shoes giving an impression they don't consider drop in trip as a cause of concern. PRINCE SATSUMA hasn't won for long, watch out for market trend, if money comes his way he is capable of beating them all.

Race-8: 11.Jabbar
JABBAR despite a bad draw came up well to finish good second, should be in thick of action. BIOMETRIC had an excuse of shoe splaying in last run, relishes this C&D. SILVER DAYS AGAIN is now entrusted to a Jockey who could not get a win for this stables in a partnership of 42 runs. STAR OF THEA despite advance age appeals for place, Jockey has won a race with this horse, handicap is ideal.

Race-9: 11.Forsetti
FORSETTI is hard to oppose. SPARKLES repeats in same C&D but at a slightly higher handicap.     HEROISM does not appeal with this Jockey whose only hope is to hit front over this 7f trip. ACHOOK is due for a win but Jockey!!!. RISING SUN partners well with this Jockey, should be there at busy end. 

Post Opening Odds




R1) 5 does not appeal at this odds, 1 is withdrawn, I am backing 6 place @13/10

R2) 2w @14/10 appears to be a jobber and can be backed if odds stay below 2/1. 3 looks default place contender but odds may be poor

R3) 1 is first fav but I sense a gamble on stable mate 9, I may bet 9 each way if odds stay below 8/1.

R4) 3&9 does not appeal to me, 1 each way {1:3 Ratio} appeals to me, 5 can be a gamble, as a hedge place can be backed if offered above 2/1

R5) 2w and place {1:2 Ratio} appears best bet of the day

R6) 13 can be layed, 5 gamble possible if odds stay below4/1
 
R7) 6 cannot be backed or opposed at this odds, 2pl if available @0.80 can be a bet
 
R8) 11 not quoted in odds is perplexing,  anyways it will be my bet at whatever odds quoted

R9) same case of cannot back or oppose fav, 2pl will be my bet here

Kolkotta and Hyderabad 25.11

Friday, November 25, 2022

KOLKOTTA
 
Race-1: 7. Toronero
THAR would have been first choice but negative shoes tempers enthusiasm. TORONERO ran on suggestively last time, stables go all out with limited number of horses they have under their charge.

Race-2: 1.Eastwood
Fast pace would aid EASTWOOD who returns to handicap class, runs first time after the break but earlier won in a First Up Run.

Race-3: 4. Divya Shakthi
DIVYA SHAKTHI could carry her Monsoon form to Winter, has beaten most of the horses here.

Race-4: 8. Success
Ratings favor SUCCESS and SHABELLE, latter may struggle on a new track. Queenstown can fill in runner up berth.

Race-5: 6.Stockbridge
STOCK BRIDGE is tough to oppose. THE PROTECTOR can stay on well to grab second paying place.

Race-6: 4. Magnite
MAGNITE ran easy last time which was first appearance after a setback, can improve in hands of this jockey who shares a winning partnership with the horse. EMBER GLOW a winter specialist is an ideal candidate for 1-2 spot. 

Hyderabad
 
Race-1: 3. Star Racer
COMING HOME runs after a break of 90 days, FLAMINGO FLAME has failed 17 times in this C&D, CHAR EK CHAND drops in class on favorable winter track but distance will be sharp, DIFFERENT may target a 5yrs group later. STAR RACER is not sighted in trials but numbers are decent and I am willing to take a risk on him as he is better than most of the runners on 31/10, 22/10 and 2/10 lines collectively, hope stables extend him to best ability instead of treating this as "Also ran" type. 
 
Race-2: 2. Hugh Carpet
HUGH CARPET responded well to removal of Tongue Strap,  looks ahead of handicapper.  MR CARPET and HOPING CLOUD can fill in remaining berths.

Race-3: 2. The Image
THE IMAGE is hard to oppose. DRD is facing younger horses this time but numbers and One-2-One relative handicapping of 7th August emboldens me to fancy it for a place spot. DYANOOSH stood flat footed last time, this run should be watched. BANGOR ON DEE won last winter season, Jockey hasn't won for this stables in 9 pairings. 

Race-4: 2. True Marshall
TRUE MARSHALL won emphatically and in current form an encore looks a formality. UNMATCHED a winter specialist appeals for a place spot. CANDY GIRL is speedy and from favorable barrier will try to paint the town red from the word GO, would be surprised if she fails to grab a place on board.
 
Race-5: 1.Ballerina
BALLERINA, only 3years old in fray,  is better than most of the runners on 2nd October line. SOLOIST is default place contender.  AMRYA looks sharp in trials and can gain a place berth.
 
Race-6: 1.Lifes Song
LIFES SONG got ticks in all boxes, hard to oppose. BRIAR RIDGE owing to successful Horse-Jockey partnership looks default place contender. MALIBU loves to roll freely in front on winter track, can end up in a place berth. 

Race-7: 3. Top in Sky
TOP IN SKY should be respected for Trainer-Jockey partnership high success rate, last few runs were just also ran types. ABOVE THE LAW will end up in place this time

Hyderabad 21.11

Monday, November 21, 2022

First three meetings of the Winter season were cancelled due to a tussle between Trainers and HRC, former objecting to ALL ENTRIES MUST RUN clause in the prospectus. While HRC came with a detailed reasons for their action Trainers on other hand could not come up with a plausible reason for their opposition for a step which would improve quality of racing, it appeared like they instead of owners call shots  otherwise there is no explanation for lame excuses like "Stakes not increased". Punters who are at receiving end due to unethical and unfair practices adopted by trainers did not take it well. 

A good number of the horses racing today have been kept away from morning work giving an impression that Trainers were in for a long break, they had to give up only after owners instructions to enter horses for races. 

I sincerely wish HRC does not budge from its stand and coercively enforces the new rule. 

Race-1: 1.La Mirage
LA MIRAGE pitched in same C&D after losing as fav last time but at a higher handicap. NRI FANTASY will appreciate extended trip. IVANHOE was a disappointment on Monsoon track, can relish fast winter track. CLEFAIRY proved punter's nightmare, extended trip over winter track with an equipment change can induce an improved performance.

Race-2: 6.Voyager
VOYAGER is related to Mogul, looks sharp in preparatory gallops, yard is known to produce winners with first timers. BLEUE DALI from local champ Yard merits attention for Jockey booking. PROUD MARY looks good in morning gallops, watch out for market trend. SANTA BARBARA appears to be long distance horse, will need sharpening with 2-3 easy runs.
 
Race-3: 4. My Way or Highway
MY WAY OR HIGHWAY after an improved effort repeats in same C&D with a positive change in shoes. CHINA TOWN has attained competitive mark to strike in this lowest class, recent spurts in morning trials are impressive. SILVER LINING hasn't been fancied yet, absence from trials does not inspire confidence. GOOD DAY has stamina query to answer over this mile trip. 
 
Race-4: 1.Mirana
MIRANA, a winter specialist needs to be excused for last run,looks best on 19th September line, Jockey is pairing with this trainer for first time probable reason is to take off few kilos from her back.ROYAL GRACE is the only C&D winner in the set, working impressively. BEAUTY FLAME failed to get handicap reduced despite two bad runs, handicapper is smart :-). JUST INCREDIBLE is inching towards a possible gamble. 

Race-5: 4. True Icon
TRUE ICON is winner of this C&D in last but one run. MYSTERIOUS ANGEL hasn't missed the board in any of the run till now, dam was a sprinter and no offspring of Sire won a race above mile, so one needs to doubt the staying ability over this 9f. PLEROMA was cynosure of all eyes when she won effortlessly, well placed in this higher class, can easily stay this trip but a break of 90 days need to be accounted for. CAMPANIA missed a gamble by whisker last time, relishes winter track and should run prominently

Race-6: 3. Bellagio
BELLAGIO is a winter specialist, experimented with Blinkers this time. TEMPATIONS was a repeat pattern winner of lower grade of maidens, runs first time on Winter track. THE THUNDER a short priced winner will attract maximum eyeballs in betting ring. DO A DOER extended well enough to just about poke her head ahead at right time, needs hard riding and this Jockey lacks that temperament
 
Race-7: 7. Salisbury
Removal of Dexter Ring Bit brought the desired effect on MR PERFECT last time, repeats in same C&D but without much work in morning trials. CRIMSON ROSE could not perform last time for no plausible reasons. FATUMA won with this jockey, outer draw for a forward runner tempers enthusiasm. SALISBURY a winter specialist looks very sharp in trials and has leading claims. 

Race-8: 8. Advance Guard
NIGHTMARE missed Monsoon season ,may receive support but struggles in First Up { Run after a gap of 100days and more} runs. ADVANCE GUARD won over this C&D at exactly same mark in last winter season. CHUCKIT a heavy built horse drops in class, struggling since changing stables last season, may be a setback case. AERIAL COMBAT was not a jobber in last few runs, drop in handicap and better rider this time can enable a place spot.

Race-9: 2. Avancia
AVANCIA will find this lower grade easier to handle. MISS SOLITAIRE was fancied hotly in debut, looks well prepared to go all out in second run of career. NRI ULTRAPOWER showed no form whatsoever in both runs of career. ACROBAT had an excuse of saddle slipping as fav in last run {surprisingly there were many such cases of saddle slipping in Monsoon season, did Stipes notice? }, blazing the tracks in morning works.

Mumbai Ante and Post Opening Odds 20.11

Sunday, November 20, 2022

An exciting Mumbai season to start from today. Less number of racing days means quality fields and high competition however Night Racing is bit of disappointment for serious punters. 

At the face of it looks like a fav card and we need to find some good bets after the opening Odds
 
Race-1: 6. Jerusalem
Tricky affair. JERUSALEM is knocking door, has finished second over this trip last season, has advantage of 0.5kgs in this Weights raised race. INAMORATA improved last time after standing flat foot in debut, will go further. PYRRUS tried front rolling at Pune, Dam was a decent router so can get this trip in a handicap debut if Tongue Strap gets the desired effect. FREEDOM is related to Stockbridge, weak saddle support does not inspire confidence.

Race-2: 3. One Wish
SKYFALL will shoot away from the word GO, ONE WISH is capable of staying close to pace where as GIANT STAR and AUGUSTUS CAESAR will be off pace. ONE WISH will zoom past tiring Skyfall, second spot may be filled in by finishing on Augustus Caesar.

Race-3: 3. Wall Street
WALL STREET ,a decent miler by breeding, ran on easy in Pune Derby, won well in debut form of which worked well with runner up beating a quality field in next run. EMRYS extended well to win well last time, can defy penalty. DRAGON LORD makes a handicap debut after a gelding operation. DJANGO failed to impress at Pune, long straight of Mahalakshmi can aid an improved performance.

Race-4: 3. Rodrigo
RODRIGO runs well after a brief rest, has speed good enough to keep everyone at a safe distance all the way. SOUP AND SANDWICH has blinding speed, runs first time here at Mahalakshmi. ARCANA clocked handsome timings last time but so did all other horses that day, not placed well in this higher class. ESPERANZA returned bleeding, this run is best watched.

Race-5: 4. Emperor Roderic
EMPEROR RODERIC won well over mile before running an easy also ran type race in Pune Derby, should be involved. KAITLAN just managed to held on, penalty and first time appearance at Mumbai. LIAM is a decent performer and despite a whip less jockey appeals for a place spot. MY PRINCESS won a targetted lower grade, tough task. FORTUNATE SON has to spend a little more energy to come from wide draw for customary style of hitting front.

Race-6: 2. Midas Touch
MIDAS TOUCH a modest bred has dropped close to last winning mark. SPECULATOR failed to deliver in 6yrs group. INTENSE BELIEF continues to find herself in traffic at crucial juncture, a clear passage can enable a place spot over this favorable trip. THE PRESIDENT runs after a long lay off.

Race-7: 3. Commandment
COMMANDMENT was repeat pattern winner, can defy class penalty. ALPINE STAR is the only C&D winner, trainer goes in dormant mode at Mumbai. SENSIBILITY could not replicate Hyd form at Pune, can take advantage of drop in handicap.

Post Opening Odds
R1) 3w@70/100 is worth laying, back 6w@8/1, Windfall if goes on expected lines
 
R2) 3@11/10 is perplexing, however I am still convinced it is a good bet if stays below 1.4
 
R3) Appears to be a Jodi race, only 2 place paying so no Place option as this two are expected to occupy paying places, I would stick to 3w if quoted at evens
 
R4) 2 is touted as classic, though I have reservations against it but not opposing instead opting for 3pl in this 2 Places paying race
 
R5) 4w@16/10 is days best betting option
 
R6) 8pl if quoted above 1.5 will be my bet in this race, may shell few bucks on win as well. 
 
R7) 2@4/1 is intriguing, I ignored it due to Jockey, horse has good form and can oblige. At race time if odds of 2 remain below 4/1 then will change my primary selection to 2 and back it for win.

Kolkotta 19.11 Ante and Post Odds

Post odds Musings!!


Despite a poor looking card there are few wagering options which can yield decent payout. 

R2) 6 may be available at 1.5 during race time which looks a good betting preposition

R4) 5 if quoted above 2.5 can be backed.
 
R5) 3pl may be quoted @1.5 in this two places paying race, better than backing 2w @60/100

R6) 4pl if available above 1.25 can be a betting option in this race. 

 
A drab and unexciting card. Most probably there will be 3-4 On Money favs, cannot oppose them or back them. 

Race-1: 4. Yazh
A No whip race for lowest class horses. 2 out of 6 run in negative shoes. Out of remaining 3 one has negative jockey. It leaves with Yazh {Second run of career after a long lay off}and Mars {Weak performance in all 3 runs}.

Race-2: 6. Southern Lad
SOUTHERN LAD is hard to oppose. Regency Gold can sneak into place if any of either DR DOOM or JAWAI misses place berth.

Race-3: 3. Devushka
LEONARDO STAR who participated in classics in Bangalore Summer season returns from a setback and a Gelding operation, stands tall on class but still cannot fancy if quoted at miserable odds. DEVUSHKA won well and in current form can score an encore. MAGNITE seems to have recovered from setback and would have been my first choice but for Jockey who hasn't earn a place berth outing of 9 pairings for this stables giving an impression this is a test run.

Race-4: 5. Secret Pearl
SECRET PEARL got  ticks in all boxes, hard to oppose even in this competitive race. CAPE TANEROS is a winter specialist and in all probability should find himself in top 2. BAHULEYAN does not appeal due to unfavorable shorter trip.

Race-5: 2. Agnostic
Feature event of the day
AGNOSTIC is in irresistible form and will take lot of beating. AWESOME ONE and JAKE will seriously challenge supremacy of Agnostic.

Race-6: 1.Monteverdi
MONTEVERDI is streets ahead in class terms.  MOUNT VIEW is improving with distance and should be there at business end.

Mysore 17.11 Ante Post and Post Odds

 Ante Post
Race-1: 5. Newsmaker
LIKE MY DADDY won a race last winter season, has changed equipment twice since then. NEWSMAKER had excuses in last two start, can be considered for runs in this C&D earlier. SCARLETT PRINCESS may not get the distance.MISS CHINA was not extended in just concluded Main season, won over this C&D but at a lower mark.
 
Race-2: 11. Clovis
KING'S COMMAND has won over this C&D last winter season, placed well vis a vis that run. PININFARINA drops to lowest class, an apprentice over a top weighted horse with no initial speed does not appeal. COUNTRY'S MIRACLE runs first time in positive shoes giving an impression she will be asked to produce her best. CLOVIS has good speed and can upset if allowed to run on merit.

Race-3: 2. Catalina
CATALINA has seen better days, has leading claims. AGAINST ALL ODDS ran in company of Bangalore horses last time, is open for an improvement in this cooler waters. UDUKAI makes handicap debut but will be carrying overweight. KESARI QUEEN makes handicap debut in second run of career with a change of equipment.

Race-4: 1.Country's Light
COUNTRY'S LIGHT runs well with fresh legs, should be strongly involved in this lower class under a Jockey who won 2 races for this stables in 3 pairings. MY ONE AND ONLY is running decent but belongs to weak connections. VIJAY SPARKLE had an excuse of whip-loss last time, knocking door and should be involved. VALKYRIE is dropping rapidly, looks like well past her prime. DEIMUS is the one for notebook who will strike in a 6yrs group this season.

Race-5: 5. Flamingo Dancer
FLAMINGO DANCER has raced well in better company, hard to oppose. MILOS responded well to Blinkers last time, does not impress on class progression terms. VIVA LA VIDA was a surprise winner last time, gets positive switch in shoes but choice of jockey is a negative signal. BREAK AWAY seems to be regaining form after suffering a setback earlier.

Race-6: 2. Indian Patriot
INDIAN PATRIOT was a repeat pattern winner, can easily defy class penalty. SMART CADILLAC is drawn favorably and has good chance to be in 1-2. EVERLY who won in first two runs of career has developed issues of slow start. AGUILA from Bangalore has shifted to this center, runs over an unfavorable trip to get acquainted with local conditions. PINK JASMINE from Bangalore is clearly way ahead in class terms but distance ??

Race-7: 9. Prince Abir
PRINCE ABIR from Bangalore should find this set easy to handle. GALLERY QUEEN had excuses in last two runs, should be in 1-2. MOGUL will appreciate extended trip, has won a race over this trip at parent center. WILD SPELL has blinding speed, Jockey is partnering well with stables, if any of the above falter can sneak in place.

Race-8: 1.Coastal Cruise
COASTAL CRUISE partners well with Jockey, goes further after an all out second last time. PRINCE CORPORATE is facing enquiry for last run where it lost as fav, now runs with Basket Bit. NAMIKI was not on job last two runs, not sure whether it will be this time with this second string Jockey. GINTOKI is knocking door, will appreciate drop in handicap. NOTOREITY need to excused for his runs over unfavorable trip last two time, would have been first choice but for Jockey who works more or less like a work rider for stables.

Post Odds


Odds for this center are as reliable as racing here. Anyways based on Odds given my  final choices
 
R1) 5w@16/10 can be backed as others in odds does not appeal 
R2) 11w @4.5 is preposterous 😡 and shows Bookies pussy heart, I would take a chance on 12pl if quoted above 1.5
R3) Lay 13@1.1 and back 2pl@1.25 else direct win@5/1
R4) Both 6&9 are false fav, Will back 1@5/1
R5) 5w@1.75 is best bet of the day
R6) Cannot oppose or back 2w@0.8 so best option is to back 11 place @1.5
R7) 9@70/100 is a risky option, better to back 10 or 4 place which will be offered at almost same price but risk is far less
R8) Lay Jodi of 10&14 and back 9pl@1.5

Delhi 15.11

Race-1: 5. Gamati
GAMATI hasn't really gone on as hoped, sports Blinkers this time and any further improvement could well see her get involved in the finish. KITTEN'S ANGEL wasn't disgraced when running close in the debut run, tied with a Tongue strap and open to improvement. SUPER SPEED from well performing stables makes debut in modest field, can do the trick.
 
Race-2: 1.Ashwa Tenjing
ASHWA TENJING the only 3yrs old in fray scored a hat trick this season, looks ahead of handicapper. MOREISKI has dropped a lot in handicap, will relish step up trip.

Race-3: 5. Sunlight
SUNLIGHT has been brought down systematically, won a race over mile last season, booking of local champion Jockey gives an impression she will asked to produce her best. NIZBATI WINGS is winner of this C&D technically though, equipment change from last winning one does not augur well. SIR MOR bounced back from his nadir point of career, will be keen to go further.

Race-4: 5. Kaya
KAYA has decent speed, might try to make all and could take plenty of catching. LODGE KEEPER may be left wanting for more ground at business end. ANOTHER RAINBOW enters calculation owing to positive switch in shoes and low weights in higher class. PROFESSOR has won over this C&D, suffered a setback and since then struggling.

Race-5: 8. Jet Sukhoi
JET SUKHOI the only 3 yrs old in fray has nothing to beat provided lameness in last run hasn't affected much, at least morning spurts thereafter suggests so. FRANCO held on well, positive shoe change gives a hint that connections to willing to go positive in this higher class as well. BIG DADDY may appreciate drop in trip however he isn't the best over this trip. AIRMAX extended well to beat field by good 5 lengths, has to beat a harsh penalty.

Race-6: 2. She's a Beauty
SHE'S A BEAUTY made mockery of penalty to score an encore, she still looks pretty well placed in this higher class, hard to oppose. FARGO need to excused for last run where she was drawn widest, finished close second over this C&D in Rno 43. SHAILIKA runs after a lay off with negative Jockey and shoes switch.

Greyville 14.11

Monday, November 14, 2022

UK Flat racing season over Grass has ended, current action is limited to Hurdles/ chase/ Jump and flat races on All Weather Track. Form plays truant in this type of races and not advisable for wagering. 

🇿🇦 Greyville

South Africa races are typical races, some day all of your selections run in money and other day none touch board. Probable reasons for this is the GOING of the day which favors either one side of barrier on a particular day. If you find horses from inner boxes or outerboxes performing well in first two races then from next race onwards simply back inner drawn horses or outer drawn horses accordingly
 
Odds in general are good and justify the risk.

Kolkotta 12.11

Saturday, November 12, 2022

Race-1: 3. Azai
AZAI with a positive shoe change and drop in handicap merits prime attention in this lowest class where market will fancy BEAUTIFUL for his debut in higher grade of Maidens {Can win but second run of career and long lay off factor need to be taken into consideration}. COMPLIANCE is experimented with Blinkers this time. LION QUEEN a compulsive front roller may get a breather over slightly longer trip due to a relatively slow pace.

Race-2: 2. Basharat
BASHARAT needs to be excused for the last run, is the only C&D winner in the set and merits prime attention. For second paying spot THIRD AVENUE can be considered.

Race-3: 3. Harvest Time
HARVEST TIME should be a strong force in this handicap class, his 4th in Colts Stake was an impressive effort. SUNSHINE PRINCE appeals for place spot.

Race-4: 2. Queenstown
QUEENSTOWN who finished a good second to Faith in Fillies stake has obvious claims in this handicap class. ARABIAN QUEEN may occupy the second playing spot.

Race-5: 3. Monfortino
ANASTASIA ran game races at Madras but will require a run here. MONFORTINO though facing younger horses cannot be discounted due to good performance in stronger company. SOARING HIGH relishes winter track and can end up in place. 

Race-6: 4. Ideal Lass
IDEAL LASS the only 3yrs old in fray returns to Handicap class and should find this winnable.DREAM CHASER has displayed front rolling traits but over 6-7f races, drawn innermost and needs to hit front else loses all chances.

Madras 11.11

Friday, November 11, 2022

It rained yesterday night and early morning but Races should not be affected
Update: Chennai races scheduled for Friday, November 10 have been postponed to be held on November 18 due to heavy rains resulting in the track being unsuitable for racing.

Race-1: 5. Fantastic Hit
A No Whip race in lowest class for older horses over 5f!!! FANTASTIC HIT has earlier finished second over this C&D, positive shoe change and allowance claiming rider may enable a decent performance. EPISTOIARY who hasn't won for long merits attention for good forward rolling run over 6f last time out. HARAN improved in last run. RAJPUTANA is displaying speed this season, can come handy in this No Whip Race

Race-2: 3. Safety
TURF MELODY finished a easy 3rd in debut, qualifies on 3yrs old making handicap debut with first time Blinkers on, second run of career is always risky to fancy. SAFETY ran on well in a better company, well placed to make a winning transition to the handicap class. RADIANT JOY improved in last run, can place at decent odds

Race-3: 2. Supreme Runner
REMEDIES OF SPRING is a failed fav pitched in same C&D after a good rest. SUPREME RUNNER from Mumbai made a winning adaption to this new track, has won a mile race at Mumbai, leading claims on latest trackwork. LAKSHANAM defied class penalty but not placed well this time. GLORIOUS GRACE finished second in Ooty Derby, was seen hanging under pressure in last run, low weights can do the trick. TREVALIUS will be carrying overweight and will need a run to adjust to local conditions so will GOLDEN KINGDOM.

Race-4: 3. Storm Breaker
STORM BREAKER performs well in Second Up Runs, looks sharp in trials. OUI SAVAGE won well, not placed well in this higher class. PRICELESS RULER won over this trip in last but one run, handicap is tough. HOPE AND GLORY is winner of this Class and Distance at the exact same handicap mark but in Delhi

Race-5: 11. Magic Moment
ADMIRAL SHAW placed 3rd over this C&D at the same mark. BOHEMIAN STAR has developed issues of slow start, fitted with Blinkers this time but still better to watch this run. SABATINI could not sustain over mile trip, has good speed. MAGIC MOMENT has age in favor, placed ideally and can raise winning gallop in the handicap class

Race-6: 1.Gold Kite
GOLD KITE who failed as fav in higher class should find this winnable. AMBER LIGHTNING can be considered after a good forward run last time, watch out for market trends, sports wing if fancied. WONDER BLAZE has won over this C&D with same Jockey, last two runs have been pretty bad. AMORE has shifted stables, looks very sharp in trials, one needs to know if she suffered any setback to skip racing for 11 months.     

Race-7: 9. Timeless Romance
ZUCARDI was hanging out last time, drop in trip can do the trick. TIMELESS ROMANCE makes handicap debut at ideal mark. DAIYAMONDO has won over this C&D at exactly same mark and with same jockey, should be in contention.

Madras 10.11 Ante Post and Post odds Musings

Thursday, November 10, 2022

There is a forecast of evening and late night showers on race day, may not affect races
Originally scheduled to run on 5th this card has been re declared. While the horses remain same there is change in Barrier numbers and few change of Jockeys {R2-8, R5-1,3,5,11, R6-3,5,10,11,12 R7-12 R8-9}

 Ante Post
Race-1: 1.Wise Don
WISE DON has developed issues of slow start, has earlier won over this mile trip at a much higher mark. CATALYST is the only C&D winner here but got that in Craig Marshall's stable, last couple of runs need to be excused while WELCOME CHAKRAM ran on well despite hanging out, may not get the extra furlong. SWISS AGATTA continues to disappoint

Race-2: 7. Vulcanic
VULCANIC responded well to change of equipment,finished off well to suggest another positive showing is on the cards. MARTINGLE goes at low weights in this handicap class, showing out in trials but entrusted to second string Jockey in new declaration.ROYAL PEARL started slowly but covered good ground to fill in the frame, seems to be struggling since her return after a setback. QUEEN OF FAME settles well over this 9f trip and will try to make every inch a winning one in hands of a talented apprentice. CHEVAL BLANC needs to produce a lot more than what he did in two runs of career.

Race-3: 3. Laudree
A No whip race. WINNING LEGAGY makes debut in a lower grade of Class-4, not an ideal start.LAUDREE is well placed and can keep SACRE COURER at safe bay at all important end. DANCING GRACE hasn't exposed true potential, has decent credentials to place in this set.


Race-4: 2. Night Jar
Yet another No Whip race. NIGHT JAR will be hard to beat, her second behind Berrettini  holds her in high position among other rivals here. STAR LOOP and LEBUA can fill the frame.

Race-5: 4. Ayur Shakthi
EUPHORIC held on to the form and won emphatically, drop in trip need to be accounted for. SPEED AIR will be carrying overweight.AYUR SHAKTHI advertised return of form when she finished on well to end as runner up to OUI SAVAGE, loves 7f trip and has leading claims. RAYS OF SUN had to put whatever he had at his disposal to just hold on to the winning berth, and would be preposterous to fancy an encore.

Race-6: 2. Diamonds and Pearls
FIRST EMPRESS showed clean pair of heels last time, a penalty of 4.5kgs will have its toll. SUCCESSION will be hard pressed over this unfavorable shorter trip.DIAMOND AND PEARLS had excuses in last two runs, settles well from outer draw. ALEXANDER has won over this C&D, not placed well vis a vis that run. CONSTANT VARIABLE has blinding speed, no recent workouts noted which is a big negative for a horse in a sprint race.
 
Race-7: 6. La Jefa
SUPREME DANCE created a good impression while clearing maiden last time, longer trip suits as he takes a while to get going. LA JEFA got the race in stewards room and could make a successful handicap debut while SPORTING SPIRIT and CYNOSURE appear after a break, both run first time after gelding.
 
Race-8: 3. Rubirosa
WINDMERE enjoyed removal of Blinkers to post an eye catching win, can hold to that form but a 5kgs penalty appears to be bit harsh. MARSHALL cleared maidens in lower class, same jockey repeats in higher class. RUBIROSA makes handicap debut, participated in Group races and holds the first claim. LADY LUCK started slowly in debut, looks impressive in preparatory gallops suggesting she will relish the extended trip.
 
Post odds


R1) 1 is quoted at correct odds of 17/10 and can deliver as rest of the field lacks depth.
 
R2) Stablemates 6& 7 are favs which makes things a bit complicated,  I would rather back 3 for place which may be available @2.5
 
R3)  3 is 40/100 which is obnoxious considering this is a No Whip Race, 4 pl may not fetch much. I will take a small chance on 2 place which should be available @2/1

R4) 2 got Withdrawn.. As of now odds are not given for this race, 5 win is good option if offered above 2.5

R5) Competitive race. Both 8 and 12 which are first two favs have negatives so better to lay Jodi and back 4 for place @2.5

R6) 4 @1.5 is a good Lay option as it is bound to struggle over this trip. 2 Win @5/1 looks good wagering option

R7) 6@ 3.25 is very generous, do they know something we don't? Anyways can bang good if that odds stay at race time

R8) 3w@2/1 is a steal

Delhi 09.11

Wednesday, November 9, 2022

Race-1: 11. She's  My Heart 2.Cressida
SHE'S MY HEART is trying to bounce back from the rock bottom, experimented with Hoods On in a higher grade this time. CRESSIDA qualifies on Horse-Jockey developing partnership system, front roller and will pray for WP to come to his rescue. NICHE HEMP from Bangalore has been a disappointment last season here.  EXCELLENT GIRL is capable of better performance after a good lung opener.

Race-2: 6. Battle Queen
BATTLE QUEEN with a benefit of run and removal of Blinkers will be asked to produce her best. SHWETAMBER has hit rock bottom and only way is up. BIG GIRL is the only C&D winner in this set, last run can be excused due to interference. MASTER VAN has come down rapidly, last two runs were good forward ones.

Race-3: 1.Wonderful Lady
WONDERFUL LADY took tons of public money to drain in last two outings, will settle good over this favorable trip. RESPONSIBLE LOVE despite a tardy start came up well to win, form of that race worked well with runner up winning in next outing, not placed well in this higher class. BUMBLEBEE is a consistent performer and reached highest class, in all probability will try a start to finish tactics.

Race-4: 3.Sir Ramon
BIG DADDY drops in class, has won over this C&D with same jockey astride. SIR RAMON needs to be excused for last run for which an enquiry has been initiated, earlier won well over this distance. VICTORIOUS KING is on roll, step up distance with a penalty need to be accounted for. ASHWA SIGMA merits attention for choice of jockey who won 8 races for this stables out of 25 appearances, only negative is lack of preparatory gallop.

Race-5: 5. The Cheetah
THE CHEETAH has won twice with this Jockey who also enjoys a decent partnership with stables {9 wins out of 24 appearances}. TOO GOOD is knocking door, was beaten squarely by The Cheetah in Rno 178 last season. JEWELLER is taking big leaps in ratings however he is not better than The Cheetah on 22nd Feb line. ASHWA KAHIRA is consistent and will be keen to make her presence felt in this first time appearance in Terms race.

Race-6: 3. The Powerful Ranger
THEPOWERFULRANGER has defied distance bias and a sharp penalty in last two runs, this Mumbai import should be followed till beaten. DIVIT will relish extended trip in hands of his fav Jockey {2 wins in 3 pairings}. ORALIE was a costly failure in last run, appears after a good rest but at a slightly higher mark. RIOS PRINCESS the winner in last outing has a bad draw to deal with.
