How Is Ooty Season?

By Smart-still-poor-punter | 25-Apr-2017
Hi,
Will those who have attended Ooty races so far air their opinion on the merit part of racing on the hills. I found jockey C Umesh blazing on the 1000 Guineas Day (3 wins and 2 places out of six rides!!). As expected Palon Mistry's horse won the plum event and the local boy A Imran Khan seems to have had an armchair ride.
Hi Bangaloreans, how are the tote payments for Ooty races? Is the old style last-minute punching taking place still? Are favourites 3/10 or 4/10 like it used to be a few years before? Please give your remarks.
Finally, is there any information on live broadcast of these races (at least the Derby race)? Why indiarace is not able to come up with the videos of the races on the next day or so?

@smart still poor punter,

3 days, 20 races so far at Ooty current season. Those who blindly followed Umesh are real winners. And those who played only favorites (according to the tote at BNG and not according to the odds given by Ooty) had some cash flow in their direction. Fortunately Umesh was on duty on some favorites also. But a good number of Bangalore punters are in red.

This 11/- win , 10/- place, 13/- trinella era gone. To get the right numbers in forecast is not easy. But, I still recommend the punters to try forecast at least 1 or 2 races in a day.

The racing at Ooty and the concluded Madras seasons are comparable
to any other center you may like.

In fact C. Umesh rode five winners on the opening day I think.

There is old style last minute punching is not taking place. At Hyderabad in the race course and all the offcourse centers are getting live broadcast.

Regarding live race broadcast, it is free for all races any given day, visit Madrasraceclub and watch live (Ooty falls under MRC as you know, so it is live free of cost just like Madras races). As for odds, rest assured you get decent odds and no last minute back down like few years ago. Umesh and I. Khan know the tricky Ooty track like the back of their hands and that is why Imran was successful on Windsor Forest. Watch his positioning and you will understand.
