Congrats all winner

Congrats Abhay.........Keep posting regular....great.

congrajulations to the winners.

we should thank immensly the adminstrator of indiarace.com for providing us a free ,and easily accesible web site to all horseracing lovers.

MAJOR Saab iam your regulor reader of all your articles,wriiten with good scientific, sound knowledge.

Heartiest congratulations to the winner `Rakesh Menon`, the first runner up `CeeKay`, the second runner up `Gayathri` and to `Abhay-Pune` and `The Doc` for finishing in the top five. Four of the top five are well known names for their expertise and their track records in these PTR contests, and now Cee Kay has also joined this elite group.

@ Rakesh Menon .. you took over the running before the bend and were a distance clear soon after entering the straight and did`nt have to do much to retain that lead and made it a one horse race. Great show.

@ Cee Kay … You are the only one to have picked three winners (the first three legs) and thus managed to get three double win rolls, and a treble win roll. If you had also picked Star Superior in the final leg you would have probably overtaken Rakesh Menon, as in that case you would have got three additional Double Win Rolls , three additional Treble Win  Rolls, plus a mini jackpot win roll of nearly two lakhs.

@ GS .. My sincere thanks and heartfelt appreciation for your enormous help in calculating the scores of all the participants in good time. Your commitment was exemplary and I hope you will be available during the `2019 INVITATION WEEKEND PTR`.

@ SKumar.. Very nice write up. Thanks for calling me yesterday, I think we spoke with each other after a long gap (more than a year). It was a long and interesting chat. I appreciate your involvement despite your very busy schedule work wise and family wise.

Thank you so much Major Nargolkar for your wonderful presentation covering every aspect of the contest. You have many fans here who are deeply inspired by your excellent previews on the classics.  All the participants must have been delighted when they came to know that you agreed to be the Chief Guest. Thank you also for your kind words about my involvement in books. Indeed they take a lot my time + I am still working full time with stringent deadlines.

 You were right when you mentioned in your preview for the ID that the `Information in the Field` was inadequate particularly with respect to the extent to which Sir Cecil was fit or unfit. When a punter has to contend with these uncertainties regarding fitness, it becomes difficult for him to make proper assessment despite his expertise on the subject. Ordinarily such horses should not be permitted to run, but the Indian Derby comes only once in the lifetime of the horse and we cannot deprive the owners the opportunity for landing the prize even with a slightly unfit condition, as even the prize money for finishing third is quite substantial. I think Roberta should also have been permitted to run.

Though only two of the contestents managed with a positive return on a total investment of 324000, it has to be realized the exorbitant tote deductions on the dividends are a huge dampener for the Punters. If we take this aspect into consideration and determine the weighted average tote deduction as about 35 %, then the Par Score is worked out as about  210000, in which case as many as about twenty participants should be considered as in the positive territory. But I fully agree, with such enormous tote deductions, it is very hard for the Punters.

@ Rakesh Menon and CeeKay… may I have your postal address so that I can send you a copy of my new book `BRIGHT LIGHT IN THE SKY` as soon as I receive my copies which may take a couple of weeks.

@ Admn. Indiarace .. Thank you for your full support

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE RESPECTED WINNER AND RESPECTED RUNNER UPS

AND ALSO CONGRATS TO ALL THE PARTICIPANTS

Yes n bow congratulations to all the top 5's ..specially to Rakesh menon ji coming from the bend being midway just like star superior n swamping them with ease..that's the way to teach a lesson... IF someone is unfit or not 100% fit..THE DERBY is half gone..I as everyone miscalculated as sir c was coming into this race more reputed than besafe..yes on the other hand I had my doubts as well on him at more than evens being quoted.. STAR SUPERIOR has revenged it..Poona Walla buying him earlier in the monsoons has proved to a very gud judgment The confidence of excellent art to provide.them with derby ..They felt if phoenix tower can do with rochestor why can't excellent art..STAR SUPERIOR was always a great champion had it not been padnamabhadan sir I was always going to back the star.....ahead of adjuticate.who herself was the class..but her prep in Mumbai was nt the derby prep..probably in invitation where she has to face even more challenge from the previous crop in Hyderabad get's her on right feet..she has a very gud chance to repay the due's..let's. Watch her further progress leading to invitation..though I know fillies or mare record isn't that great since it's renewal or even if not..She posseses something that cud give the kolkotta filly or mare the cup..The luck of the race will play it's part..All the best to her backers..she might pay gud dividends.. THANX AlL GOD BLESS GSL
