In Kolkata races, picking winners or placers is difficult. 

The odds on winners were

1. Logano 7/1

2. Kefira 6/1

3. Astoria 7.5/1

4. city heights 7/1

5. Sheer force 8/1

6. Kramer 12/1.

So, it is difficult to locate winners even in one out of the 6 races.  Your words are 100% right.

Favorites repeatedly found it difficult to pass first the win post.  But, whether anyone compelled you to bet?  O K.  It is racing.  Win/loss are part and parcel of racing.  But, one should learn to apply brake when the going gets tough.  Say, you bet 2000 per race.  You should have stopped after 2 or 3 losses.  Just buy one treble ticket at an outlay of 250/300.  Let 100/1 horses win.  And let your treble ticket fail.  Goli maro!

The bookies are the real winners.  Because there is no let up in betting in spite of huge loss.  And, you pay 10% dubious half tax also.  Take a royal oath today.  "Max 3 bets a day.  No increase in bet volume after 1 or 2 losses".   There is tote.  After 3 losses, you buy Rs. 200/300 worth forecast tickets for the remaining races.

As long as you people  voluntarily submit your head, the bookies will tonsure you cheerfully.

It is difficult to set gambles in Kolkata races.  That is why favorites don't oblige.  For favorites to win all the owners need to be united.  

It's not horses fault. Today all merit horses won.only we and bookies created false favourites. Devotion must have won but coz if Suraj changing lane at last 100 mtrs cost the race.City Heights long due and won on low handicap. Kemara first selection on Bol book.3yr old in first leg odds drifted on favourite. So Kolkata today race was very gud and proved merit only works.just bcoz we played wrong horses can't blame race club.

Yes,I agree with you.

I also have very bad experience with kalkatta races. Don't blame weather alone, worst possible race club. I stopped betting on kalkatta.
