Back to listsWere Mysore Races Conducted On Merit..
By Zubin | 02-Mar-2020A point to think after a terrible end to the invitation cup races.
Out of so many winners it could hardly be seen a winner approaching the the winning post from the inner raills.
All the horses bite the dust who came from the rails and those who made their running from the wide outside made the winning post only because of not suitable ground conditions on the rails. It looked like more watering by the ground staff which I guess did this mess up.
The major races where punters blindly put their money on the favorites to oblige return with deep hole in their pockets in the sprinters cup Corfe Castle came from the wide outside and won the race
Both the favourites iron age and multifaceted cutting each other's throat near the rails and finished way down.
It could be clearly seen that jockeys adapted the technique of going wide on the second day of the invitation cup by the time the punters understood this it was all over and there was no way around to recover all the losses.
Every big Owner, Trainer,Jockey got a race as a winner under their belt it looked to be purely intentional that the winners were decided even before the race startup.
Poor punters backed both iron age and multifaceted and the outsider Curfe Castle won and the Suresh Mahindra multi-million multifaceted came from outside and it won comfortably.
The horses who had the inner draw suffered the most.
Eventually Sprinter cup was given to poonawalas where Darius had no thoughts of winning and he won on lucrative odds getting Suresh Mahindra.
All the big owners and trainers were given a race each and definitely the bookies did prosper and that is Mysore racing for you guys.
Mumbai Trainers had no answer to such track conditions and settled to go down with a Run apart from Win.
Cheers to Worst ever racing.
