Good Morning to all the contestants, The PTR Team and Shri Sagar Saab!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the outset I thank Shri Sagar Ji for inviting me to be the CG for the just concluded 2020 Four Winter Derbies PTR Contest and it was indeed a great feeling for me to hear his voice after a gap of so many months/years. It’s my privilege to announce the 2020 Results of the prestigious "Four Winter Derbies PTR Contest"
Preface :
**************
It is the Brain Child of our esteemed Sagar Ji and is considered the Most prestigious annual event concerning the Four Winter Derbies ( Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore and the Grand Indian Mumbai Derby). "Infact he is the War Hammer pertaining to this Contest". He has been sponsoring so many prizes to the winners and Runner-up and to other contestants as well in the past decade or so.
This Contest was conceptualized keeping in line with Regular PTR contest which Late Sreekanth Created in IR.com and used to run on daily basis so as to create the competitive edge within one self before one goes to the Live races. The idea of Late Sreekanth was that one should identify the prospective winners for that days races well in advance through good study of the Card and through this contest one should posts his choices and invest prudently the points budgets allocated to each contestant and later on in the day in live races invest on those horses. Thus, this PTR came into existence.
PTR = Points for Today’s Races.
Shri Sagar Ji then thought of how this contest can help further and how to make it more meaningful and at the same time associating this contest with something which forms integral of the Indian Racing calender. Thus, he aligned this contest to the Four prestigious Derbies which happens in Winter Season in Indian Racing calender. Over a period of years this contest has gained so much popularity that it is considered as the Most Prestigious and Most Happening Racing Contest by all the Rail birds. They eagerly look forward to Shri Sagar Saab's post regarding the announcement of these contests during the winter season.
