Back to listsColts Championship - One Of Its Kind !
By Mad Max | 25-Jun-2017
My God, I have not seen such a race in my entire life where several records are broken.
Total 15 runners. Out of which 11 runners have the benefit of a Mock Race run since the summer season started on 13th May. The list is long, so I list the horses that did not enjoyed any Mock Race advantage, they are - Chief of Command, Hartnell, Sea King, and Ultimate Warrior. In short, I wanted to say all these 4 horses are not in the fray as any serious contenders. Now coming back to the Terms race of this kind, where all are running on level weight, irrespective of what they earned in stakes or in rating in the past.
If the official handicapper had the right to penalise these horses, based on their past performance how much weight these horses were asked to carry today? No Idea. That is a hypothetical question. May be Mr.Sun can explain such things us convincingly. Howevever, I take another route - Karnataka Juvenile Million Grade-II, a terms race for 3 year old. Colts and Geldings carried 52 Kgs and Fillies 50.5 Kgs. Penalised for 2 win by 3 Kg, for 3 wins by 5 kg, for 4 or more wins by 6 Kg., Winner of a value of a race of Rs. 10 Lakh another 1 kg, 2 such races or a race value of Rs.15 Lakh should carry 1.5 kg, 2 or such races or a race value of Rs.30 Lakh should carry 2 Kgs extra. If you implement these penalties on today's field, we will get the following result.
------------------
1. Apache Sunrise: 5 Kg extra for 3 wins. Not a big stake winner. Had the benefit of a mock race over the present distance, where it finished almost level to Capo De Capi in the middle. At best a 4th position, not more than that.
2. Big Orange: 6 kgs extra for 5 wins. No prize worth 10 lakh or above won. WHY IT IS RUNNING IN THIS FIELD?? NO CHANCE.
3. Botswana Bolt: There is no penalty whatsoever as he has won only one race. a MOCK RACE over 1400 won. Running without Pacifiers. I dont find any reason to pick this one. IGNORE.
4. Capo De Capi: Won only one race, but it was worth over 15 Lakhs, hence 1.5 kg. penalty. CDC has had two mock races this season. He is now running with Tongue Strap, and added High Heels on Right Fore Leg. These things are positive as far as trainer is concerned, but the timing it clocked in its last run was mediocre. At best a 3rd position, not more than that.
5. Castle Bridge: For 2 wins=3 Kg. Won both races prize money over Rs 15 lakhs, so CB will carry 2 kg more. Mock Race benefit. C.Alford is a total failure in Bangalore even during his younger days. This veteran will struggle.
6. Chief of Command: 6 Kgs extra for 6 wins. He won two races worth 40+19 Lakhs = 2 Kg extra. Incidentally he is the maximum stakes winner in this set. This Arazan Colt has won more than the connections can chew in Ooty and Madras, IGNORE.
7. Hartnell: For 2 wins extra 3 Kg. Another 1.5 Kg for against one race won over Rs 15 Lakh. No chance in Terms races. IGNORE
8. Moon Dancer: Extra 3 Kg. No Chance in this set.
9. Olympia Fields: No penalty. No chance.
10. Perfect Star: 1 Kg penalty as he won a race of over Rs 10 Lakh. Gelded after last run in February. No run benefit. Roza Boy is a total failure in this season. Ignore.
11. Sea King : No penalty. Need any comment.
12. Turf Star: No Penalty. Need any comment?
13. Tutankhamun: For 2 wins 3 Kg extra, another 1 kg for winning a race worth over Rs 10 lakh. For your surprise he has won Rs 30 Lakhs for his second behind Ruffina in PMMM, for which no penalty as per the terms. Won a 1400 mock race. Best timing in this field. 13 is a lucky number from Vajpayee era. In my opinion he is the horse to beat. MY CLEAR CHOICE FOR WIN.
14. Ultimate Warrior: Maiden horse. No chance.
15, Zenon: No penalty. no chance.

MY CLEAR CHOICE FOR WIN: TUTANKHAMUN
