ASTOUNDING GALLOP FOR VARADA TROPHY

Friday, March 8, 2013



BANGALORE RACES

1.     CLIQUE who was denied a win in last run has been entrusted to one of the weakest rider by the scheming small time trainer, a better rider may have got results. INSPIRATOR is tracking well, can do well on level jump. NOVEL APPROACH was a good 2nd but no track since long. YOU’RE ROCKING is the one to watch, should win on sincere effort. JEWEL LADY who has been tracking nicely has slid down in scales.

YOU’RE ROCKING-INSPIRATOR-NOVEL APPROACH.

2.      COOL APPROACH has run 15 times without any effort and now goes over ideal trip with a mature jockey, should make it interesting if backed. ACE DANCER is a top bred who won well after a long break, should be the one favored here, but no ACE born has done well over more than a mile. GLYCY’S BAY defied penalty and won easily last time, he is the one in top form. MY LAW won well in lower class and goes with the best rider in the country at low weights, has tracked well.

GLYCY’S BAY-COOL APPROACH.

3.      Moderately bred SUNGLOW won all the way and maintains forward form, concedes crucial weight to better breds. SCORCHING VOLCAN is pleasing in tracks. COOLMORE looks recovered from the set back in training. FOREVER HONOUR was ridden out but could not succeed, no works  yet may be fancied but stables are unreliable.  NAYAN STAR from the top sire was beaten by a good type, has worked well. WIND SURFER was ridden in check yet finished on very well, the got abroad should be a serious contender now.

WIND SURFER- NAYAN STAR-FOREVER HONOUR.

4.     OCEANIC WIND has not been worked after placing in higher class, may be tried. AMAR PREM is tracking well. YOU’RE CHILUBILI was ridden to loose and enquiry held, horse can win on trying. STAR OF DESIRE has a good rider, failed miserably as a favorite in last two runs. BRIGADE’S PASSION is tracking well. 

YOU’RE CHILUBILI-OCEANIC WIND-AMAR PREM.

5.      THOUGHTS N ACTIONS has a try rider. ASTOUNDING GALLOP showed inclination to race after years and came flashing near the post, has the allowance rider repeating. RADICAL ATTRACTION should be fancied based on last few runs, the horse is winner only of a maidens race. SAGANAKI has been given a run after a blistering finish which nearly caught OWN ASSET on the post.

ASTOUNDING GALLOP-RADICAL ATTRACTION-SAGANAKI.

6.      ARTORIOUS looks much improved after the last easy run. CADOGAN was a fighting 2nd who has trained on well. TIGER EYES has matured with runs. SWEET N SMART was eye catching runner last time, can win but will she be tried, the stable is notorious for in out runs.

CADOGAN- SWEET N SMART-ARTORIOUS.

7.      SUKHMANEE went wide and still ran well, distance may be an issue here. SERENGETI has a handicap chance over pet distance. TRANSCEDENTAL has not been tracked , the got abroad has failed twice. TALITA’S GIRL from the classic producing mare has been worked, low weights and the rider are positives.

TALITA’S GRL-TRANSCEDENTAL-SERENGETI.

8.      SHARED HEART from the weak sire may not last over this trip as he likes to lead. SAREETA has been held back purposely in last run, can win here. TIC TAC TOE has been working well and is in with a chance. COOL HAND showed sparkle in a fast track, has been given runs. FASHION FLAME is down in weights.

Last run of BAYBLUES needs to beignored, earlier 2nd was a fair effort. SPIRIT OF ECSTASY ran well last time , has worked well.

MARHABA FOR HYDERABAD RACE CLUB CUP

Tuesday, March 5, 2013


DELHI RACES

1.        ACTS SUPER has been tracked by this very rider and is likely to be a front runner. FAST AND FURIOUS is definitely from a superior race club but has not raced for long and needs to get used to the bumpy greens of the capital’s race track. PERFECT AFFECT lost badly as a favorite. SAIRA has been regular in works, goes at low weights.

ACTS SUPER-SAIRA.

2.       HAPPY GO LUCKY is badly off on handicap. CHARDI KALA has tracked well, is due for a backed win. CARATORIO won well and can repeat. NONIOS has a positive rider switch, distance suits.

CHARDI KALA-CARATORIO-HAPPY GO LUCKY.

3.        CHEPETZUHA is down in class and goes with a rookie. MASTER SHUB SHUB is an ordinary one who has not performed after winning a maiden 2 years back. BLACK PARTRIDGE has a handicap chance in this very open race. MASQUERATE may perform now for the owner cum trainer, has been tracked. ENGLISH ELMS may place.

CHEPETZUHA- BLACK PARTRIDGE-MASTER SHUB SHUB.

4.        THE MAFIA has form but is being ridden by a very average rider. TARAKA POWER has a rookie for try. MARHABA is in fine shape and should be the one to catch at these weights. Curiously the closest rival IMPULSION is carrying over weight, last win was awesome.

MARHABA-IMPULSION-THE MAFIA.

5.        JAZBA is bound to be tried today for the new owners, has worked well. MASTER QUEST showed out in last run, has been tracked. ANARKALI looks the best on comparison, aged jockey has a fight on hand. BABY FAITH has the good jockey flying in, last run has brought her on.

ANARKALI-BABY FAITH-MASTER QUEST.

6.        QUEEN’S TOUCH is the youngster here on demotion, can win. GREEN SEALS has a rookie, looks to have shot her bolts. MASTER SENSATION was an improved 3rd, should be a strong fancy here. AALI JANAAB is the horse no trainer wanted 3 years back, was baught for pittance and now looks for hat trick.

QUEEN’S TOUCH-MASTER SENSATION- AALI JANAAB.

TOROLOCO FOR INVITATION CUP

Sunday, March 3, 2013


KOLKATA RACING

A few years back the invitation weekend was held at Hyderabad and I was somehow pleased to get 8 out of nine winners correctly though I never follow Hyd racing seriously. Again yesterday I was amused to get 7 out of 9 winners at Kolkata where I hardly ever glance at the race results. This shows that despite all talks, handicap and simple logic has lots of meaning in racing. As compared to yesterday the card today is very competitive, hope for the best.

1.        ALACRITY is a speedy one who has won at this level before. RAPPADON GLORY has showed out in works, may run well. HAYNESTOWN won well in lower class and may show out again. PIAFFE is tracking well, has form also. HURRICANE ENDREW has tracked well. GLORIOUS SONG gets a good rider after reducing runs.

GLORIOUS SONG-PIAFFE -ALACRITY.

2.        CYNOSURE is half brother to good type SHUB SHUB and comes into reckoning based on last good run. SHAMROCK is a well bred full sister to SERGEANT PEPPER who is tracking well. SPANISH MOON is a half brother to RELIC HUNTER and is well prepared, definitely needs this run.

SHAMROCK- SPANISH MOON- CYNOSURE.

3.        FOCUS was not beaten by much last time, the rider repeats. FANKAAR is in fine form, looks tough for win. AZORIAN is the youngster who has been given runs and may upset in this suspect set up. SECRET GLOSS won comfortably  in a weaker bunch. HOT IRON and REGAL BEARING are tracking well.

AZORIAN-FANKAAR-REGAL BEARING.

4.       STILING VEIL won comfortably over this trip before, was on frame in last two runs and has been working well. COMBINED OPERATIONS had won over a mile in maiden’s race and has come down a lot, gets a rider in form. REMBRANDT still looks for maiden win, flopped as a favorite before. CLASSICAL ROMANCE goes over ideal distance with a good rider. HILLS OF THE MOON has been backwards, gets a top rider at low weights.

REMBRANDT- COMBINED OPERATIONS- HILLS OF THE MOON.

5.        IVERNESS is a good type who looks to repeat with the top rider. ROYAL HONOUR has the little known rider in ecstasy for the hat trick, needs all the luck for further success. CHARLEMAGNE lost out in a close fight, prepares to show out again. ORIENTAL DIANA is working well and is down in scales. SIGNOR SASSY and WILD CARD have wide draws but both can run well at these weights.

IVERNESS-CHARLEMAGNE- ORIENTAL DIANA.

6.        BERLUSCONI is a stout miler who has not won for long, has been prepared. I need not repeat my comments of yesterday about the amazingly prolific KOHINOOR WISH, can be involved again. RANTHAMBORE has got a good turn of foot, gets the rider in sublime form. STAR OF GIBRALTAR will look to follow in the footsteps of Mumbai mates who picked up the plums yesterday. CHASE THE SUN is the local hero who has home ground and age in favor.

RANTHAMBORE-STAR OF GIBRALTAR-BERLUSCONI.

7.        OPTIMUS PRIME  is a top horse of his age group who has capability to run a big race over this trip. PLENIPOTENT is a good sprinter from Hyderabad who is in fine form. COCCINELLA lost fighting to the too good sprinter’s cup winner NEFYN, should be the favored one here. SOVETSKAYA goes over ideal distance, has chances for upset win.

COCCINELLA-SOVETSKAYA-PLENIPOTENT.

8.        TOROLOCO can carry weight, has class and is in good form. HEMISPHERE showed out much more than what was expected in the Indian Derby, but has won only a maiden race in career, connections must be excited about him making sort of history. SUPER STORM was well ridden to steal the Indian Derby, will need a similar ride again. WIND STREAM looks to regain his ascendancy, was a beaten favorite in Indian derby who will look to win now.

TOROLOCO- WIND STREAM-SUPER STORM.

9.        SNOW PRINCESS is in awesome form, has to tackle the penalty. Ignore last run of ARDENT N GRACEFUL, the horse can do well. HADDOCK can run a forward race, has a handicap chance.  SERENA looks to repeat , last win was easy. INCANTO BLISS is at low weights.

SERENA-SNOW PRINCESS-INCANTO BLISS.

DAYS BEST===COCCINELLA

DOUBLE--------SHAMROCK  X  IVERNESS   

NATIVE KNIGHT AND NEFYN FOR THE STAYER'S & SPRINTERS CUPS

Saturday, March 2, 2013


KOLKATA RACES

1.        CHARLIE COOL , winner of a race is speedy one who failed as a favorite, looks fit in works. SECRET ROMANCE is the youngster looking for 2nd win this season, also failed as a favorite. FLYING BOY showed improvement last time yet has a tough job despite the good rider. REWARDING has come down in scales and gets the right jockey for a try.

REWARDING-CHARLIE COOL-SECRET ROMANCE.

2.        SU CHALIYO has been running consistent but top weight is against. VIJAY MONARCH has tracked well. SILVERINA is tracking very well and maintains form after the 4th to OCEAN AND BEYOND. ARACELI who was sent over a trip first time in last run showed staying capabilities.

SILVERINA-ARACELI.

3.       OCEAN CLIPPER who has won at these weights before gets an experienced rider. TRUST IN ME who has taken down lots of wager money in last two runs gets a top class rider, has been prepared. ANGEL’S QUEST has been regularly worked. AL DIDA should be in contention at low weights.

TRUST IN ME-AL DIDA-OCEAN CLIPPER.

4.        SERGEANT MAJOR was given a questionable run as a favorite, has tracked fine. ZOFFANY ran below par last time. VOYAGER has raced against better types, looks fit after the mocks. ARANEDA has been consistent and is tracking well. SHYAM SUNDER has fine form.

VOYAGER-SERGEANT MAJOR- SHYAM SUNDER.

5.        AGENT ARCHIE, winner of two races is down in class. OUR CHIEFTAIN has come down a lot and gets a proper rider. AMIKA is in fine form and should run for the race with this rider. BURST OF STARDUST is a speedy one from the top sire. ICONIC is tracking well.

AMIKA-BURST OF STARDUST-OUR CHIEFTAIN.

6.        ASTAPI has the canny rider on top, horse may struggle to stay this grueling trip. NATIVE KNIGHT is a proven one who can stay till the cows come home, last win with top weight was very impressive. I wonder how STAR MARQUESS got nominated, he has done what we in Army slang call f--- all so far. DROP OF HOENY is the promising one who thrashed all hopefuls in trial stakes, he wins if she stays. VIJAY’S CHAMP has age and weights in favor, meets rugged stayers first time.

NATIVE KNIGHT-DROP OF HONEY-VIJAY’S CHAMP.

7.        CAPT COURAGEOUS is a good type who got beaten both times by a superior ADIELLA very narrowly. ADABELLA is the local hope who has to doa lot to beat this lot, looks in deep waters on comparison. CHRISTOFFE got beaten by the too good DECATHLON, who is perhaps the most promising one from the top freshman sire. SUR LA TETE , a half brother to BORSALINO who was given an easy opener was a flying finisher against TURF STRIKER who did well again, has been prepared well.

SUR LA TETE-CHRISTOFFE-CAPT COURAGEOUS.

8.        NEFYN is the top rated sprinter from the top racing centre and deserves  top billing even at this ripe age. SECRET PUNCH could not accelerate and got a bad ride when fancied last time, has turn of foot. SPEED SIX is in terrific form and last win was in taking style. KOHINOOR WISH needs a mention here, he is an amazingly versatile horse , a winner of 16 races so far and can do well at all distances. BULLS EYE is the best sprinter of his age at the top centre but is yet to win in class1, can shock them all.

NEFYN-SPEED SIX-BUULSEYE.

9.       CREDIT EASE goes over pet trip. SMART HUNTER has a tough penalty after two wins. ENCHANTED FOREST will look to repeat, last win was a fighting one. SNOW MOUNTAIN looks good on comparison. WHAT A FEELING has low weight and a canny rider.

SNOW MOUNTAIN- CREDIT EASE SMART HUNTER

DAYS BEST===NEFYN
