SUMMERS AND HOPES OF RACING IN INDIA

Tuesday, May 11, 2021

 The pandemic situation in the country is scary but hopefully situation will improve next month onwards. The probability of racing in summer/monsoon season to start on time is dismally low yet one always hopes for normalcy in the country and the resumption of meaningful activities.

The probable dates for the racing to resume are during mid july.

Grapevine has it that the Ooty races are waiting for a nod from the freshly elected Govt and should the truncated season is allowed to resume this summer may see more racing at UDHAGAMANDALAM (Ooty) since parlays are on between BTC and MADRAS RACE CLUB about the possibility of having the Bangalore Summer season at this venue in later months.

OOTY    RACES

 

1.

ASIAN WARRIOR is a demote who has been well worked and showed out in gates after the last trial run.

LADY BLAZER lacks preparation here, distance suits.

WONDERFUL ERA impressed with a good finishing on 3rd to MIGHTY PRINCE, rider repeats.

DOMINANT has been given a run and is tracking nicely, has an allowance rider .

AMATERASU has been well stretched in tracks, had won her only race at this venue two years back.

FABULOUS SHOW won ridden out hard by this rider in lower class, has penalty to beat now.

WONDERFUL ERA(4)-WIN

AMATERASU(7)/FABULOUS SHOW(8)-PLACE.

 

2.

WHISTLE PODU is from a good sire and a decently performed dam, has benefit of a run.

ANDROMEDA SKY is from a well bred dam, the half sister to STAR PORTAL impressed in gates and is in fine fettle in tracks.

BOHEMIAN GRANDEUR has a rider switch after a suggestive run, is from an ordinary dam.

GLORIOUS SYMPHONY came up with a strong gallop but could not beat KRISTALLINA, that run gives her a strong chance now.

ANDROMEDA SKY(4)/WHISTLE PODU(3)-PLACE

BRANKA came up well in  last run against MAGICAL WISH .

STARLIGHT(2)-WIN

MY KINGDOM(5) /BRANKA(9)-PLACE.
