Attn Mr Handicapper

By Godzilla | 09-Dec-2018

Castlebridge who had beaten the likes of Rochester, Lincoln, Costa Brava, Perfect Star, Caprisca, Accolade, was made to run by the connections like a dud against a poor set. The connections must be hoping that if Castle Bridge finishes way behind the winner in a couple of Races, the handicapper will take a lenient view and reduce the handicap.

I would request the handicapper to punish them by increasing the handicap by two more kgs and make Castle Bridge to run on 62kgs, till it wins.

HT guys...Your views please.

Terms race weights allotted as per the terms , for age etc. PL read the terms in the prospectus and in my opinion you are no one to request handicapper.

Castle bridge is  a speedy horse  and u may no that these kind horses tend to get injured or not respond sometimes like corfe castle and no connections will make them run  dud all the time may be occasionally if u say so ! Dont be so harsh on the animal

Well said Mr.Godzilla, 2 kg penalty are suspend the horse for 1 year. They are playing with punters money. I wish the handicapper to see this posting and act accordingly.

Respected Members, 

Is it the connection's fault or has the colt lost it's shine? The colt doesn't seem to gallop in the straight, has something gone with the training?

Castle Bridge matter discussed in detail during his last runs. Actually the horse is in off mode. Still number of persons fancing him whenever he runs. When the horse consistently fails to give his best there is no use of expecting more from him. Better to leave him for sometime till he shows  glimpses of his old form.

Atr this point of time it makes no significant difference either way as te colt runs only 'terms' races. His rating is anyway at 125

@ Godzilla,

Try  to understand  'current' Indian  racing.... It  is  not  the same  as  it was  in  20th. century...

! lakh  prize  money  of  those  days  is  equal to 20lakhs  of  today...

gambling  has  also shifted  from 'only'  legal avenue (  horse race) to  Cricket betting....

In  horse racing  you can  bet  only  6 to  8 times  in  4  hours  ; in cricket  - if  you  have3  money  you  can bet  every 10  or  15  seconds - every ball,  etc....

IN 1950's and  1960's  on Indian  Derby  day  more than  50 to  60  thousands  'gamblors'  used  to  visit  Mumbai  race course ...

now  you will  not  find more than  10,000 or 15,000  on  a Derby  day...because  the  gamblord  have  hifted  their  priority...

WHY?

THESE  BLIND  MAN  WHO  CONTROL INDIAN  RACING  ARE  UNABLE  TO  FIND!!!
