KOLKOTTA RACES 04.09.2013

Torch of Life looks too superior to the bunch and should mot find it difficult to win. Trainer P Quinn has won 5 races this season out of which 4 were favourites and eight horses which were favorites have lost.  On the contrary only one horse which was a non favorite has won. Hence, no sensible conclusion can be derived from these statistics. But, still I will go with Torch of life.

Altanza has had a mock race and although finished a distance behind third I was impressed with the mock. Although it did not take a good jump and was a bit slowly away ran well to come on the heels of the front runners and was held up after that. The other runnere had had their runs and have not performed till date.

A thumb rule race better avoid. I personally like Thrice Blessed but the jockey J.K.Prasad out of his seven mounts this season has come on board only once when Afrah won by default as the short priced favorite Audrick was withdrawn at the gates.

Another thumb rule race, but, I can say with confidence that the race will not go beyond Red Passion and Words. That does not mean that you can have a forecast or quinella bet. If Red Passion is a jobber then it will definitely win and Words will follow it home. Otherwise, Words will not loose. So, you have to use your brains a little at the race time to make money in this race.

Quite an open race with three out of the five runners being from Western India. Now, let us analyse these three first. Silver Silver arrived at a rating of 44 and today runs at 59 an increase of 15 that is 7.5 Kgs. Highly Explosive arrived at 38 and today runs at 48 increase of 10 points that is 5 Kgs. Star of Roses arrived at 67 and today runs at 41 a decrease of 26 points that is 13 Kgs. And then you have What a Feeling the local horse who has the capacity to win. Make your pick, but, I will go with Star of Roses and what a Feeling.

Chala Ja Bacha and Blue Lightning should fiht it out and I personally will go for Blue Lightning as its manner oi winning was more impressive. Here, I would like to present some statistics for you. 12 favorites of trainer Vijay Singh have won this season out of which Dandified has won thrice so that means only9 favorites have won. On the contrary, 13 of his favorites have lost this season and on 10 of these favorites jockey C Alford was astride. Ha ha.
