Lets Talk About The Ramniwas Ramnarain Ruia Gold Cup

By Bluebubbletron | 13-Jan-2017

The Ramniwas Ramnarain Ruia Gold Cup (Gr.2) has always been considered to be a jinx before the derby.
this year we have a small field of runners out of which...

SERJEANT AT ARMS is the highest rated @ 100, with 6 wins out of 7 runs

HIGHLAND BREEZE rated @ 76. 3 wins out of 10 runs

ST ANDREWS rated @ 74. 1 wins out of 3 runs

while the best of the best takes some rest.

one look at the card and it seems like a one horse race but there is always the element oof surprise in horseracing.

why have so many owners decided to sit this one out?

@Mlk

Some of the greats to acheive the feat of winning the ruia with the derby were

BRIGHT HANOVAR, COMMANCH, SQUANDERE , MANITO , ROYAL TER , ALMANAC, CHAITANYA CHAKRAM, SMART CHIEFTAN, INDICTMENT, and STAR SUPREME

Ive seen the last three horses win & for me Indictments feat [triple crown ] was the best to witness live -as that horse was a Gladiator ....

Cheers

The difference between Goldie Brown colours and the rest is that they wouldn't have sent out the Derby Contender in the RUIA without a stablemate who would ensure an honest pace.

Wont be surprised to see SAA now making the pace for the race and being eased up towards the finish.

There will be no surprise. See the number of horses which have ran away.

So will this horse at odds around. .30/100.
Some times luck plays a big part. Not bought by any one sent to CAL first than to BNG. stuck with breeders has paid back money beyond their imagination
