RUFFINA FOR AKASHAEB MAHARAJ TROPHY

Friday, September 7, 2018


PUNE RACES



A scary trend has set in all the racing centres of the country and the playing field has become dangerous for positive betting on backed horses. For years it was a belief that racing is most competitive and fair in western india, I have my doubts on that as the current season is as good or bad for punters as are the centres like Mysore or Kolkata, it is going to be extremely difficult to win by backing public fancies.
In Pune so far 31 favorites have obliged and 35 horses with odds of more than 5 to 1 have won. Statistics speak for them selves.

T Patel who is the best performed rider has won on 8 favorites but has lost on 15. A Sandesh has won on 3 and lost on 7 favorites, hence system of following them also is a big negative.

About the trainers lesser said the better, the Pune Champion N Lagad is also failing most of the times, negative betting can be seen on his mounts in a big way.


1.

LOCARNO ran a forward race and faded out, has a weak rider.
INVICTUS MANEO is definitely the best on handicap, was beaten by GLYNDBOURNE when conceding weight in last run, and GLYNDBOURNE won in higher class beating a speedy field. However horse runs first time with a rookie.
GLORIOUS LAND from a no good trainer fought out all the way till beaten 2nd, can win on a similar effort.
LOIRE did not like the Mumbai surface, had won going away under this rider last year here, has pleased with fluent tracks.
MALAVIKA has fine form, was interfered with in last run, hence may shine.
NEXSTAR is from a weak sire, was not moving up despite the urgings of the strong rider, is entrusted to a jockey who has lost confidence since punishment for pulling in Mumbai.

INVICTUS MANEO(2) /GLORIOUS LAND (3)-PLACE.

SUMAAQ does not appeal for win in this group.
KIMBRELLA hence is the choice for low weights, , good sire and a catchy recent track.

KIMBRELLA(6)-WIN

TIMELESS DEEDS was beaten near the post after shaping as winner, has the second stable rider now.
ANGELS HARMONY had won under a weak work jockey earlier, has decent form to be considered over ideal distance.

IT’S A DEAL has been given an easy run, had been consistent in Mumbai as a tryer.
ANATEVKA is sister to recent winner QUESTIONABLE, from a top performing dam, has been summered at Bangalore, can break the ice now,ignore easy runs.
