Pune Derby Day 2012

Race 1: Horses 1-3-4-8-11 all have a fair chance here.Mon Ami,Secret Weapon, and Money Flash should be involved in the important end.

Tips: :Mon Ami, Money Flash             Upset: Secret Weapon,

Race 2: Open race my short listed 3 are Rule Forever,Winter Wind, and Borderline, the fast pace will suit the last named most and should win if she is fit.

Tips: Borderline,Rule Forever,

Race 3: Colossus, has been tracking very well and this is a average set of animals, Choice of jockey is a mystery but I don't think Pesi would enter a horse in Vinayak Trophy and give it a run and if he wanted to do that M Kharadi would be ridding them.Menage A Trois, and Hurricane Wind, both have good merit and should be right there.

Tips: Colossus,Hurricane Wind,

Race 4: Once again Vinayak Trophy although Barringo, and Nush, have the best credentials and tracking well will be fancied and will be the ones to beat the entry of Hemisphere, who is blazing the track with Vinayak's Work jockey I Pasha aboard shows serious intent.New World, is also tracking very well and is the dark horse.

Tips: Hemisphere,Nush,           Upset: New World,

Race 5: Toss up between Star Future, and Nefyn, the second named is better and should prevail.

Tips: Nefyn, 

Race 6: A wide open race and many horses have a fair chance My short listed 3 on handicap are Home Factor,Hidden Goodness, and Follow Me, The first named is tracking very well and placed well on handicap to win here the second named is very well placed on handicap and the last named is the joker in the pack ignore her last run she will be in the fray today.

Tips: Home Factor,Hidden Goodness, Upset Follow Me,

Race 7: Turf Lightning, and Portia, should fight it out the first named is better with a benefit of a run and distance.

Race 8: THE NANOLI STUD PUNE DERBY (GR.1)
1) Amazing Desire, : Interesting choice of jockey obviously malesh thinks he has a chance but distance looks out of Radar.
2) An Acquired Taste, : A very good animal well prepared and has the most experienced jockey in the set should be the one to beat.
3) Angel Crown,: A Genuine stayer can run all day obvious pace maker but if Sandesh who is a very good judge of front running pace run a fast pace race he will pick up his second Derby.
4) Commander, : Improving with every run and will stay and improve further is a danger to all but I feel the race has come a bit too early for him.
5) Okavango,: Another improved animal that should stay well a likely pacemaker but lacks the class.
6) Shivalik Hero,: Impressive winner first up but no track work since win which is strange its possible he has been given slow work to keep him fresh keep in mind in his last run he beat Blue ace who did not stay the trip and was then beaten my commander by 8 lengths so I have my doubts on him.
7) Supreme Minstrel, : Very impressive winner in his last run the extra distance will make him even stronger and if there is a Upset here he is the one.
8) Tintinnabulation,: Impressive horse interesting move by the trainer to bring him here tracking well and looks ready for a classic win they all have to beat him provided he can handle the pune track.
9) Halle, : Not Here
10) Razeenaa, : not here.

Tips: Tintinnabulation,An Acquired Taste,             Upset: Supreme Minstrel,  (note)

Race 9:  Star Mountain, should improve with distance and is the one to beat.Jen's Glory, at this distance and handicap is the joker in the pack.

Tips: Star Mountain,Upset: Jen's Glory,

Race 10: A very open race to end the day many horses in with a chance,Astromia, and Danse Debonaire, have a huge drop in class the second named is under performed with blinker may perform.Fairy Queen, is the joker in the pack should be in the fight will place can upset.

Tips: Astromia,Danse Debonaire,                Upset: Fairy Queen, 


It is fair to say that I have failed miserably in the past few months and in the best interest of people who follow me this will be my final post as there is no point anymore as I am finding it extremely difficult to focus or see true form.

I would Like to thank all the supporters who have been following this blog for the past 5 years and also would like to apologise to the ones I have let down in recent times.

Have a Wonderful Life everyone.
