Hyderabad:Opening days pointers

Not an ideal start of the season.121 runners have accepted to run on first day of season out of which most of them are running in wrong distances or with negative change of shoes under weak rider.Usually trainer K V Srinivas Rao shines on first day with Prasad Raju also pitching in with some upsets and surprises.As expected Deshmukh will remain in limelight thru out season.


Race1:Brahmani(7)-Win [WD]  Attenbough(5)-Place 4TH]


Elegant Approach may be strongly fancied due to Bangalore sojourn and subsequent impressive trackwork but it has tendency of getting weak in final furlong and top weight will only add to its misery.


Brahmani won very very impressively in winter clocking very handsome finishing time,thereafter ran listless in strong company,looks very fit and should not have much difficulty in winning.

Attenbough can sneak in place at longer odds

Race2:Racing Tycoon(7)-Win  [LOST] Supercool(8)-Place [2ND]

Racing Tycoon who stumbled in its last run looks well prepared and can win in this poor set

Super Cool is working impressively and as such should place.

Maharidhi(5) can sneak in place at longer odds.

Race3:Camocho Speed(8)-Win  [LOST]  Marquise(11)-Place [2ND]

Camocho speed was seen finishing on well over 5 furlongs,now runs in extended distance,well prepared and can cause first upset of the season,place looks certain.

Winjoy has been problematic,now runs with XNB,will be in contention.

Marquise failed when fancied can sneak in place.

Golden Jewel is tracking well but may not sustain.

Race4:Agasthya(5)-Win [LOST]   Cannon ace(6)-Place [Third]

Ignore last runs of Agasthya,will be on job and can win

Cannon Ace should place.

Race5:Divine Ganges(8)-Win [LOST]    Fearless Mission(5)-Place [UP]

Nano Storm and Vijay Keerthi require more ground to warm up.

Cristiano suffered a big setback in last Monsoon,now runs after long lay off,looks well prepared but may need this run.

Divine Ganges can upset if the jockey can handle properly.

Fearless Mission can sneak in place at longer odds.

Race6:Vijays Jet(9)-Win [WON]  StarSaloni(7)-Place [2ND] 


Vijays  Jets looks outstanding and can be considered as days best.


Star Saloni has good credentials to finish in place money.


Race7:Hawkspring(5)-Win [LOST]   Our Mascot(6)-Place [UP]


Hawkspring is well poised to score an encore here.

Our Mascot would have been ideal first choice if not for jockey and -ve change of shoes.Finishing time of last run was too good to be ignored,if tried can upset.

Race8:Pedalo(6)-Win   [LOST]  Golden Palace(7)-Place [UP]

Pedalo looks outstanding and should win.

Both Golden Palace and Rosemead have good chance to place at longer odds.

Race9:Palace Affairs(7)-Win [LOST]    Flowers Of Music(2)-Place [2ND] 

Bad race.

Palace Affairs is tracking well and gets preference over others solely on that count.

Flowers of Music can place at longer odds.

Days Best:Vijays Jet


Double:Pedalo

Logical or Lateral Thinking

Hi Guys,

Came across this interesting article on net.Read and try to grasp the moral.

Many years ago in a small Indian village,
A farmer had the misfortune Of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.
The Moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer’s beautiful Daughter. So he proposed a bargain.
He said he would forgo the farmer’s debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were
horrified by the Proposal.
So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter.
He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would Have to
pick one pebble from the bag.
1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father’s debt would be forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer’s field. As They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick
up two pebbles. As he Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two Black pebbles and put
them into the bag.
He then asked the girl to pick A pebble from the bag.
Now, imagine that you were standing in the field.. What would you have Done if you were the girl? If you had to
advise her, what would you Have told her?
Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:
1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And expose the money-lender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To save her father from his debt and
imprisonment.
Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with The hope that it will make us appreciate the
difference between lateral And logical thinking.
The girl’s dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses
The above logical answers.
What would you recommend to the Girl to do?
Well, here is what she did ….
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall
onto the pebble-strewn path Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.
“Oh, how clumsy of me,” she said. “But never mind, if you look into the Bag for the one that is left, you will be
able to tell which pebble I Picked.”
Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had Picked the white one. And since the money-lender
dared not admit his Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous
one.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don’t Attempt to think.
