Attended CAL after one year and was in for a very pleasant day.
First the crowds were heart warming [ MUM take note, where on a derby day 70 % are only invitees]. so all is not lost in racing.

Races were purely on merit. so bookies resorted to fooling the public by creating false favs,with their odds shooting up.

The prize money was great but one feels sorry for CAL based owners as outsiders walked off with rs 1.75 crores in stake money.

The warnings on Accolade were there [including your truly] but ignored due to Pessi hype.

Paddy has once again shown old is gold and an abject lesson to old timers as well as new trainers.

In all a pleasant after noon with majority of punters in the plus
