Bangalore 19th.

Race 1
None of the runners appeal.

Race 2
None of the runners merit attention.

Race 3
6. ONE FOR THE MONEY: Was finishing on in his debut. Might have required that gallop.

Race 4
2. MAGIC MILLION: Stayed upfront throughout, in his last trip with Deep Shanker over 1400. With Suraj Narredu and with 200 metres short, is poised for a win.

Race 5
8. THE LAST SAMURAI: Improved to finish a good 6th in his last run with Shiva Kumar up. Today in the hands of B.Prakash has a good chance to score.
10. GREENS: Her last run is best ignored where she received a bad check along the rails at 200 to drop back. In with a chance.

Race 6
2. RAPTURE OF VICTORY
5. FLYING TRICOLOUR
6. ROSEMEAD
9. BRAAVO
10. SPARKLING CAT
All the 5 have good credentials.

5. SHOTGUNN
11. RAPTOR FORCE
The above 4 are closely matched.

Race 10
3. DANCE N CELEBRATE: Was seen tackling ROSEMEAD with “caps on both the lower jaws”. Should celebrate her victory dancing her way to the post.

Sorry for being highly irregular.

Dear Viewers,

Mumbai Derby.

JACQUELINE, the former first lady after her 2nd marriage to the Greek ship magnate came to be known as JACQUELINE ONASSIS. Incidentally both are vying for honours in the Derby. Jacqueline’s win was so impressive when winning the Ladies Derby with utmost authority with the master professional Richard Hughes crouching a sitting duck. She proved her sovereign stamina when championing the grueling trip to easy victory, traveling in last position for most of the trip. She did the last 600 in 37.21 seconds way behind NATIVE KNIGHT’s 35.25 and ONASSIS’s 35.43.(Race No.138 over 2000mts). The difference in timings could only be attributed to the extra distance traveled by JACQUELINE compared to NATIVE KNIGHT and ONASSIS and also the view of stretched and un-stretched runs.
    If for any reason JACQUELINE fails, it would then be the turn of NATIVE KNIGHT or ONASSIS to settle the issue. For the sake of record Jacqueline, Onassis and Becket were my days best during their last sojourn, but now would prefer NATIVE KNIGHT to be in the money atleast to the right side of the bookmakers quote.
    In the Maiden Multi Million BRUTUS appears to have a slight edge over the rest.
Good luck. Have a great day.
