Funny Race - The Bugs Bunny Trophy

By Mad Max | 24-Feb-2017

This race is a Terms race for 3 year old "winners and non-winners". Saddest part is there is not a single winner in this race, not even a placed horse, forget placed horse, there is only single horse AAFRIKAAN got a race run before this race. In other words we are having a MAIDENS race. Still they carry the penalties of 5.5 kgs each because of the terms attached to this race: "If the highest weight an acceptor has to carry is less than 57 Kgs. it shall be raised to 57 Kgs, and the other weights shall be raised equally", Gentlemen all horses are carrying 5.5 Kg extra.

I have shortlisted 4 horses as contenders, as per the track work. AAFRIKAAN, LOFTY THOUGHTS, STARRY WIND and SETAGLOW. Surprise element is all these quadruplets clocked 35 seconds in their respective final spurt (all gate practices 1200/600m). First three horses mentioned above are from Byramjis stable (Father-son duo). The last won is from Vijay Mallya stable trained by A. Mangalorker and ridden by retained jockey. The most important element attached this race is BIG BUNNY which won the 1992 Indian Invitation Cup, trained by RR Byramji, ridden by Pesi Shroff, and owned by Dr.Vijay Mallya.

So guys, this race is in the memory of one successful horse in Indian History owned by Dr.Mallya and his Multidimensional filly SETAGLOW is being saddled by A.Mangalorkar and ridden by retained jockey P.Trevor. Whereas the Bugs Bunny trainer R.R.Byramji is saddling AAFRIKAAN and his son Darius is saddling two - LOFTY THOUGHTS (YS Srinath) and STARRY WIND (Imran Chisty). Father-Duo pitted three horses (JOR LEGA KE) against Dr.Mallya's horse, now you tell us your preference in this race?

My final choice: SETAGLOW-Win (Clear Winner)
Your opinions please !

Setaglow has been tracked from Oct onwards,so no doubt had some problem as to enter so late.Last work is outstanding.

Lofty thoughts is tracking equally well and I will take a chance on it an each way bet.current odds 5to 1

Paddy seems to be in dream world of only multi classic races and his new crop so far has been just average.

Bugs bunny brings back old memories as was bred at now closed down Daoba stud farm.

I do not see an upset in this race.
