What I dont understand is that how this kind of an 'open cheating' takes place in an industry where crores and crores of rupees are invested by tens of thousands of people at various levels.

Horse racing itself is a fluke game and, therefore, there is no benefit in making a hue and cry every time an upset wins. But then, there is something called form and even the handicapper decides allocation based on this. So, how this 'daylight robbery' is allowed?

Yes, it's true that in almost all centres - including Mumbai - one or two races are set up daily, but we fools never get a smell of it. If at all we get it, it happens to be too late or wrong information. For a K Sathessh or G Sandhu, even if they fail in one attempt, they can always recover in another. But what about us?

I know some members in the Madras Race Club who used to come and back horses in the ring in IVB as if they are riding. They used to be dead sure. After their shouts are half-heartedly accepted by the bookies, what will be left for us is 3/10 or 4/10 or at the maximum 7/10 or 8/10.

I always feel happy to look back at my punting career that started in 1990 and ended in 2014. It's true that I lost very heavily but I realise how soon all that happened! On my road to recovery through honest earning, I now feel sad for my brothers who are battling it out in the middle. There is no one who has successfully overcome cancer. Racing is more than cancerous my friends... better give it up... the earlier the better

Wining for euro zone was a joke...with no track work certainly he won start to finish cantering away ..
HE IS A good horse they always ate this horse when this horse is favourite ...it's a pure gambling and setting of the owner and trainer interconnections between them ..see all his run he always come from behind yesterday he won start to finish ...no one was trying hard to overtake him ...I still feel in that field euro zone was a best horse but after no track work and recent runs this horse shouldn't win yesterday ..it's all SETTING ..

The result of Poll Promise can be explained/guessed...it ran with 58-70 rated horses in earlier season in longer distances and failed...Now running first time in this season..in lower grade race..in its favourite 1100 mts...one could guess it a fluke possibility...even if there's no track

But Eurozone's run is a real joke....Last season and before...it was at busy end in almost all races...I recollect a senior punters words saying last season when all were playing Eurozone win as favourite...IT IS NOT A HORSE THAT WILL WIN AS ONE OF FIRST 3 FAVS....IT WILL WIN WHEN IT'S PAID MINIMUM OF 60Rs for WIN...
Same season few days back the horse which finished 6 to 7 lengths behind winner over same distance....How could on earth come away flying??
Also Venu...note that they make punters deny to play win....See Satheesh already won 2 races earlier..Who has the guts to play a notinform horse win after his 2 previous wins ? It's racing in India.

Also note AIKAAIKAAIKA is always Hyd's public favourite when ridden by its pet partner Akshay....But Akshay won successively 2 races before AAA and this makes punters think twice before betting on their fav
Apart from this....Dividends paid at Hyd are worse at tote....Plz stop play at Tote..

There are two ways to make money one back your horse, other eat other favs and let your horses win.

The connections are clearly doing the second thing and see his under standing with Sequira they do not fight with each other.

Racing has become a joke or a lottery in HYD

Sir, Poll Promise won on merit if one does his handicapping and home work so too the youngster was tracking good and Euro zone was always there at the busy end a number of times with change in equipment it performed. Please don't make unwanted comment if you are new to racing or just a blind ardent fan of favorites. Maybe you ask some experts to throw light in racing for you or seek their advice before writing a coloumn

@ Venu

Gregory Sandhu may have asked upcountry TRAINERS "IF YOU HAVE GUTS TRY TO EMULATE MY FEAT" after his gregarious feat last year in Bangalore, have you forgot that? So Sathish done it YESTERDAY. Whose turn is next, which trainer and WHEN in which club are the questions to ponder now ?

Every racing day at Hyderabad will include 2 or 3 fully made-up races.

Many a times top jockeys from other centres will ride in such races. Results ????
Public will be duped.

These races are pre-planned a night earlier, and all are involved in this wrong act, including the club.
