The General Rajendrasinhji Milliin

By Hunter | 25-Oct-2018

Small field of 6 will face the starter on this Saturday at Pune for prestigious The Rajendrasinhji Million. This race, to be run over the metric mile, is watched keenly as it throws light on aspirants for classics.

Hope and Glory has no worthwhile form. A no-hoper here.

Excellent Sorrento over a mile would be difficult though he won well over a sprint.

Hammersmith is Phoenix Tower progeny who do well at 1400M and less. So, unless Hammersmith is an outlier like Rochester, he is not likely to score.

That leaves 3 prime contenders - Intense Stylist, Truly Epic and Merlot.

Merlot, half-sister to Tintinnabulation, is tracking well but may need more experience. Her run will be worth watching here.

Intense Stylist, with two wins in three runs, is the default contender here but has to concede weight all round which is not always easy for a 3-year old.

That brings us to Truly Epic who ran a good race in the Pune Derby. He came up well at the distance post but could not sustain over 2000M. He should fare better over 1600M. Now with jockey-in-form Akshay Kumar partnering him and with advantage of 3kg he receives from likely favourute Intense Stylist, he shapes as a good value-for-meney bet.

Truly Epic is my choice to lift the trophy and odds permitting I would hedge with Intense Stylist.

Guys, thank you for the boquets. Please give credit to the jockey, the horse and the trainer - what a team!

Horse racing is a fickle game and today's hero can easily become tomorrow's zero. What we race-goers can do at best is analyse the race based on known facts and then use our own interpretations and judgement calls. But quite often, the actual race can surprise us. In other words, I'm ready for the brickbats!

All the best to you guys for today's Pune races and the upcoming Bangalore season.

God bless..

Once again like the derby,top owner's prefer top jockey's as proven by upcoming akshay jumping onto top league by his riding , that's the difference akshay and Trevor made,this isn't to undermine zervan or arshad but  the fact is,only some reach the top.

Godzilla:  What a good analysis about Intense Stylist, western India' Sir Cecil even beat SC at Mumbai and what a confidence even R Shekhar can guide him to win. This is the real example of your overconfidence, overrating the horses and misguidence.  Truly Epic was picked by so many and after watching his run in Pune derby where he was in fighting till 400 mts and ended five quarter length behind the trio of Pioneer, Knotty Ash and Desperado as rightly analyzed by Hunter.

Godz whats wrong with you. SC is a champ. This lot of RWitc horses are class 3compared to him. Roberta had to strugle to beat an ordinary Glorius who cant get out of his own way. Intense cant stay a mile where longer.

Congrates. You hunted down 'Truly Epic 'in epic fashion.

So, Akshay Kumar proved to be a better rider than S Zervan..

Truly Epic ride!!

At 80p, Stylist is not a good bet. Best to skip the race or play Epic for place.

The way Merlot won last run, she has class pedigree and an good temperament, half sister to Tintinabulation should beat this set with ease only threat is Intense Stylist

There are some people who cant digest the success of sir cecil, winning a poor class 4 by 7 lengths intense stylist beating sir cecil cant imagine even in dreams, i think padmanaban's new creation is good enough to beat this lot of pune horses. SIR CECIL is not fatty those who cant digest are fatty. Roberta is atleast 20 lengths behind sir cecil

@godzilla

Why are u so against  sir Cecil, intense stylist is a good horse currently comparing him with sir Cecil is a foolish thing.

HAMMERSMITH............................SHOULD RUN A VERY BOLD RACE,  EVERYONE ELSE WOULD BE GASPING TO COME NEAR WOULD BE A FUTILE EFFORT... .. A COPY RACE OF ROBERTA

Don't look beyond*  Intense Stylist *

Godzilla said ...

Hunter Sir

Intense Stylist is Western Indias Sir Cecil. Dont play against the same. It will win even if R Shelar is on top. Original Sir Cecil will get a beating in Indian Derby by Western India Sir Cecil - Intense Stylist and Roberta.

Western India guys will not allow the fatty Sir Cecil to grab Indian Derby.

"Intense Stylist" has everything to win Rajendrasinhji Million 1600M. He is unbeatable in last 2 outings beating field over 7 lengths shows his improvement race by race. After cantering open field by given weight, running with 3years old will be a piece of cake for him. I was surprised when not to see his name in Pune Derby. This race will be his mock for 2000G. 

"Intense Stylist" and "Madagascar" both horses have tremendous potential to upset any big boy in the country. Trainers Mr S K Sunderji and Mr P Shroff needs to tap there potential on Mumbai track in absence of Sir Cecil who is participating in Kolkata for 2000G and Derby.

:Good Double for Saturday:

(5-14) Madagascar.

(6-1) Intense Stylist.

A 3 kg weight is absolutely NOTHING for horses which weigh around 450 kgs...INTENSE STYLIST CARRIED 62 KG AND TROUNCED a field by 7 3/4 Lengths on tight reins in a decent time of 1.25.60....TRULY EPIC must be dead tired for the effort in the derby, whereas it was just a mock race for THE STYLIST...follow till beaten...
