The 1 St race on Sunday.. The Mannapuram Trophy has just two runners - Maithayus & Caesurs Star. Maithayus will be having odds 10/100 . What's the use of such a race. It will be run at a crawling pace and in the end Maithayus will pass the winning post many lengths ahead. Zero interest from betting point of view.

@rahul71,
"what is the use of such race"?
Even if the fav is head & shoulders above the no-hoper, it has to run the distance and cross the winning post!
Night odds declared is 10ps. Let us say, taking into consideration the 10% tax, the bookies actually give 20ps.
I do not know how many big punters bet with bookies at this odds.
But, at BNG, there will be some activity. Somehow, the payout will be 11/-, and if you are lucky, it will be 12. (Recently at Chennai, there was 2 horse race; Prosperpine won paid 12/-).

It is high time the Sponsors, like Manapuram Finance boycott such races. No sponsors should sponsor if the runners less than 4 or 5. It is the job of the RWITC to get sufficient entries in sponsored races.
