Today 7 th race at Pune is the IDAR GOLD CUP.The top four in ratings with my view is as under
Highland crown(606)-HarlmOff(604)-Mr Greedy(601)-Strelitza(600)
Analysis=Just 6 pts seperating the first fou.True Harlmoff has been unbeaten and reeling OFF races with measure of ease.His style of winning is also very good but the fact that it has been beating very pure bunch is what puts a element of doubt.All the while it has been beating Lyrical Symphony,Living the dream etc in small field .All genuine 20-50 horses.Today is the ACID test.I still eel both Highland Crown and Strelitza have better class and should fight this finish.

Preview of Feature event on 11/8 at bangalore
The major Newton davis cup the 8th race and V.T Velu the 9th race figure amongst the feature and supporting event of the day.
For the 8th,the ratings are Forever Glory(600)-Touching the town(590)-Midtown magic(586) and Top secret(571) as the top four.Forever glory is coming down in distance and may find 7f a bit sharp.In my view,Touching the town last outing was out for sightseeing the bangalore course with heavy bandages.came secondlast in the straight,wide and then once it started accelerating Srintah thought that it was enough.Tommorrow i feel it will not get beat.
For the 9th:Polish patriot(619)-Valahak(604)-Carla(604)-Tanzanite(604) are the prime contenders.Not too sure how Polish patriot will take the coming down in distance.has got class but.Lest the other three are very close almost equal.Valahak with a bit of judoiuos handling should od weel. and tanzanite a long shot place.

PREVIEW OF THE FEATURE TODAY:31/7
Well today we have the nanoli stud million.the top four in ratings are
ST CATZ(593)-RIDGE WAY(582)-LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT(567)-SHAKA ZULU(564)
Looks to be a straight fight betwen the top two rated and the edge is with St Catz.i feel as the "Racing jargon goes that a filly in form should be backed till beaten "so i feel ST CATZ should not get beat and ridge way should follow.Love at first sight is recieving some weight but her runs have been very disappointing and her trainer is also looking listless now .All the more strong point in favour of the former two.
So its ST CATZ winning from RIDGE WAY.
ST CATZ(593)-RIDGE WAY(582)-LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT(567)-SHAKA ZULU(564)

Preview of feature event of the day
Heello all,As mentioned to keep the blog alive once a while i will preview the feature event of the day and put in some posts.Today we havethe Mallaradhya cup as the chief event of the day.
Here SHOTGUN(612)-ASTOUNDINg GALLOP(611)-SOBSERANO(611)-and LOVE CONQUERS ALL(611) seems to be the strong conteders.On detailing,if we observe the tremendous finishing ability of SHOTGUN and with welter weight i feel its the horse who stands out here.Hope the boy rides a real waitng race then in the last part he will sweep past them.Also at that time ASTRO no 2 is very powerful .Worth taking a good EACH WAY BET.Soberano has been hoodwinking us for long and is the one to have a small bet for place.between the other two i feel Astounding Gallop has better class than love conquers all.My onet two three for this race would be
SHOTGUN-SOBERANO-ASTOUNDING GALLOP

Rocking Weekend
As i had posted earlier just to keep the Blog live i shall keep posting some posts.Well the week all Race goers had been waitng for has finally arrived.Hope weather remains kind.Over the week end we have two principle races.On saturday we have the Imperial tower Million and of cours the King Fishre derby on Sunday.
Just to preview the two major events of thwe week end.
THE IMPERIAL MILLION ON SATURDAY.
Well principally there are onlythree in this race,the giant killers String Along,Immense and Siachen.The ratings in this arce of the prime contenders are
STRING ALONG(628)-IMMENSE(626)-SIACHEN(625)-SPRINT STAR(625)-OPTIMUS PRIME(625)
On detailed preview.,just see how closley they are rated. Siachen is really a giant killer and if it was 8F i would have gone nap for it.But its 7F,that prompts me to shift my choice to String Along and Immense.Why?beacuse both hhave the capability to be up with the pace and then accelerate while Siachen would intially be outpaced in this race.Both String along and IMMENSE won their last start after being up with the pace,secondly they are recieveing weight thus i feel they will fight out and siachen will fly but may be will find the dist a bit sharp.
In Conclusion STRING ALONG v/s IMMENSE.
King Fisher DERBY:
What a great race this is going to be.The first six on rtaings are as under
Nearness of you(602)-Sevestahll(602)-Pronto Pronto(600)-Lovely Kiss(596)-Pre ordained(591)-Forever Glory(591)-Romantique(591)
On detailed preview.I had earlier also posted my view about 3 weeks back,i still maintain that NEARNESS OF YOU is the one to beat.But for the bad hampering Nearness would have finished ahed of Lovely kiss,so Lovely kiss is eliminate.SEVESTHAL lost a shoe in the colts else he would have fished ahead of Pronto pronto,so i eliminate pronto also.Preordained is aone pace sort and will come back to the field.So that leaves NEARNESSTO YOu,SEVESTHAL,ROMANTIQUE and FOREVER GLORY to figure in the things for the Derby.ROMANTIQUE in the fillies was also flying and will surely be there.
My one -two -three would be NEARNESS OF YOU-ROMANTIQUE-SEVESTHAL -FOREVER GLORY.
All the best

UNLEASHED NOT ALLOWED TO UNLEASH
Well XISCA wa a one horse race as commented,but just look at the way UNLEASHED was ridden.Took a good jump,then was allowed to trail the field by almost 8 lengths hwen they past the post for the first time .At the backstretch jockey made no effort to improve position while b Prakash jockeyed for position between 1600mts to 1400mts where its a down hill at BTC and moved from 2nlast to about 6th place.
At the 1000mts C alford was content to keep unleashed still 2 lengths off the field .Between 800mts to 600mts it was taken wide,came into the home stretch 10 horses wide and then our champion of saturday started riding.The poor UNLEASHED who was on LEASH all thru was left with too much to do and finished 4th.
make no mistake it was ridden that way obviously with some other long distance race in view.The next time UNLEASHED runs over 2000mts or 2400mts(governors cup),it will hack the field.It has a excellent rating and is at a very tidy handicap.
