Bangalore Races 24.07.2013

Ice Kingdom lost narrowly to One From a Billion last time with a slipped saddle and one of the not so talented and unlucky jockey Vinod Shinde in the saddle. Even in that race I think the jockey had a chance to reverse the verdict in the stewards room by objecting because One From a Billion drawn 5 shifted in sharply at the start severly interfering Blue Star who in turn chopped off Ice Kingdom. The reason of not objecting are best known to the connections. Anyway, I cant visualize Ice Kingdom loosing tomorrow.

A very tricky race and I for one am unable to pinpoint any horse.

Irish Song, Winning Story and Nations Glory look to be the main contenders here.Out of the three I personally feel that Nations Glory may win.

It is a 1800 M race and though being a 20-45 category race is being cotested by maiden 3 years old horses. Now, we have to look for a horse who will stay the distance and Taralaya the dam of Noble Reward has won 4 races (2400M to 2800M) I think it looks to be the best of all the runners. As Noble Reward is tracking very well too I suggest it as a good bet.

The race looks to be a direct fight between Trust me Boy and Volans. My personal choice would be Volans winning from Trust Me Boy.

An Acquired Taste is on the upgrade. Master Shifu (late Hemisphere) had the best run of its life last time and generally the change in name helps. Tintinabulations last run was inexplicable. The winner will emerge out of these three.

This is a handicap race which is very rare as most races of 80 and above category are terms races. Sprint Star who won  last  as a 127 rated animal has come down to a rating of 104 and with a trial run under its belt looks set to take this trophy. The main challenge might come from Silken Touch. I suggest a bet on Sprint Star with a hedge on Secret Punch.

An ordinary bunch of runners and Talitas Girl being a half sister to the illustrious Jacqueline may pull it off.

Icelander and Sun Divine look the best of the lot and I for one feel that Suraj Nareedu was a bit overconfident in the last 100 M and lost a certain race. Hence, my choice will be Icelander first and Sun Divine second.

Best Bet for the day: ICE KINGDOM

Second Best Bet: Noble Reward

Third Best Bet:Icelander
