Indian Derby 2020......horses In Real Contention.

By Rksh | 20-Jan-2020

Good morning guys

Whenever we see at 2020, it just reminds of VISION 2020 as portrayed y our Politicians as a target of development,  especially known to our friends from Telugu States....It is seen as a symbol of Competion.

So is the upcoming Racing Event of the Country, next month ,which seems to be much tougher than it appeared a month ago.

War Hammer from South India and Trouvaille from Western India were the only guessed ones around 1 or 2 months ago...However the game changes as we approach close , where several other 'Real'  competitors begin to raise Curiosity ,even among the Oldest hats of the game.

Here are the real  competitors in the INDIAN DERBY 2020 according to me  ( only to be the Winner..because any Horse in some good form can Place if lucky on that Aupicious day)...even before Handicaps are announced...

War Hammer.....Obvious no 1 Contender as seen by its form since start....never lost....but can it survive the 'Juliette' storm.?

Victorious Sermon .....Much hyper horse from Vishals ward ...not a Derby winner ..but won quite convincingly over Trouvaille in RR gold cup and kicked it out of contention for Derby.....However it faces a  lot n lot tougher field on DERBY day and only luck could favour it .Need to see ColmDonoghue chooses Juliette over this to ride on that day.

Impavid....Always nearer the winner in all big races....Could fight every inch of ground..However it's loss in South Indian Derby gives it a very less chance of the Prime honours...or May be a pace maker for Royal Crystal.

Juliette....My Derby 2020 most likely Winner....Don't know  why but reminds me of the Legendary and one and only Horse of India....BE SAFE.

Alexie ....P.Shroff gives maximum in these Premium races and Alexei in prime form can't be neglected for a second.

Cosmic Ray  .....Has a fair chance.

Missing you.....I always have this wonder horse in my mind to do magic....and it May work out on the Derby day.

 

Trouvaille, Well Connected, Knight Templar, Consigliori,Wizard of Stocks,Royal Crystal are not real Contenders according to me....though they may Place

Ur views plz

Regards..

Rksh.

      Knight Templar was a Final Entry for SI was withdrawn because he had a ste-back.  e horse likely to be fit for the Indian Derby ? Think.

Northern Alliance will be a good each way bet and who is going to ride. Maybe Suraj since War Hammer is not running. Trafalgar again jockey problem. It should not be a repeat of last year Derby when Adjudicate went through the motions. Knight Templor I feel is is inexperienced. Trouvaille  may end up as also ran.Nicollini is running on 24th and whether the connections will risk running in Derby in 10 days. If it runs in Derby and looking it's run on Friday we can play place. So Julliet be a good each way bet.

Hi Azim

COSMIC RAY is a miler hence will not run the Derby.

Sources state Consigliori is on the way to Mbai for the connections.

Cheers

Hi guys

Most of you are pointing Pesis horse Alexei as a contender.

May I know the reason why?

My query is on the following factors 

1 Has it gone over a mile, forget a mile n half

2 it has no run post Guineas, nor any exceptional track. When well connected lost the Guineas,  she was tracked  by Paddy more than twice.

3. What is the dp factor for the horse 

 

Cheers

Straight fight between JULLIETE COSMIC RAY WAR HAMMER AND ALEXIE

I personally like first 2 names.. ALEXIE is also late rusher so the war hammer 

But ear hammer pedigree will. Not stay for 2400 hrs.. ALEXIE might upset the race as she has a late dash

This Derby Belongs to Punter's darling Jockey Suraj Narredu.

In the Indian Derby, current form favours Juliette to annexe the cup. She is always coming from the rear which ideally suits the gruelling 2400 mtrs race . Any probable threat if any means, it may come from War Hammer which is also a late rusher.

There is absolutely  no chance for Well Connected, Truoville,  Victorious Serman, Alexir or impavid as they all seem to be one pace animals which cannot suit the derby trip.

However there may be a dark horse which may upset all our calculations which may be known only to the godfathers of the turf.

So be cautious and place your bets carefully as placing a wrong bet will burn your fingers. Mind they you are having a family behind you.

All the best.

It's more difficult pick clear winner for Indian derby this year every trainer and owners have more doosra for this year I think punters need to stay away for Indian derby. I think fillies will make this year

Cosmic Ray.  My money will be in Cosmic Ray. Each Way bet.  It's last run was too good to be ignored.
