Guys
Gone thru each and every participants along with Jockeys of the Derby field.I would like to state ....
Except one horse, barring last occasion, none of the horses mentioned in Derby field won by any measure comfort so far..
Some of the seasoned writers and experts were of the view that Forest Flame did not show its original run and in the last outing and the Race was supposed to be won by xyz. This theory is probably right.
I take back my claim that Leitir Mor progney cannot travel derby distance of 2400 mtrs. You guys may ask why the U turn from my side now. Look at Sporting Memories [a Leitir Mor progney] which attempted start to finish tactics in South India Derby and fell short of winning by 2 1/2 lengths, which the inform Born Queen had won.
I am surprised everyone has already written off FOREST FLAME. Trevor was not winning oflate becuase of average horses were given to him so far. All classic horses were given to Suraj Narredu.
Trevor will now undoubtedly change the tactics, as hitherto, keep the horse in rear or midbunch and show daylight to Forest Flame, which will certainly hack the field.
MY CHOICE IS THEREFORE; FOREST FLAME
If FF wins give me bouqets ortherwise no brick bats please. Ha ha ha ha

Dear JP
you are absolutely right, today Suraj naredu not a single win even though he had good mounts in Race 3,4,5 and 8.if you look at his riding ,it was obvious that he was not at all interested to win any of the races.They are doing perfect day robbery,no askers,no tellers for them.

There seems to be too much of noise here about a particular jockey's selection of his ride in this Derby. He lost twice on Multifaceted and then he rides Cosmic Ray and Sandesh on Multifaceted trounces CR. Yesterday, no rides for Suraj by the connections of CR including CR. Trevor wins one for this owner. Suraj rides Prevalent Force and Sandesh on Cosmic Ray. Prevalent Force becomes punters darling and Cosmic Ray wins. Multifaceted and PF are owned by the same connections and same trainer. Like this there are lot of confusion in jockeys declarations mainly to fool the punters. Corona pandemic and long absence of racing, except jockeys who can be counted in five fingers, a scene had been created that other jockeys are there to make up the numbers and an odd win thrown to them, only these few jockeys are declared. All these jockeys are now free lancers except a few riding for some particular ownership, they are riding for all. This jockey's mount is made favourites and tons of money is backed and the result becomes obvious. It will not be long when PF will win with another jockey. Is few jockeys declarations are remote controlled by the betting world. Poor people,they were also affected by the corona pandemic.

Race between Lagarde and Antibes, my understanding of suraj riding forever together could be in indian Derby suraj will ride Born queen and not Lagarde, so the connections of Lagarde have engaged Akshay kumar. That's it not forever together is superior to Lagarde. So chose your bet between Lagarde or Antibes.

With all due respect to Godzilla and Ruchi both, as well as Transperancy(haha), I feel that you simply cannot discard Champion Jockey Suraj Narredu out of any Classic, the fact that he has chosen to ride Forever Together instead of Lagarde on which he won the Guineas, is indicative of the fact that he believes Forever Together is a better Stayer.
My pick is Forever Together.
Remember last year's South India Derby stakes on Sir Supremo at longer odds in the company of Impavid and Lightening Bolt?
PS: I feel that Forest Flame is not a good enough stayer.
And I also feel that on paper Antibes is the best stayer of the lot and a horse with a lot of heart.

Excuse me. I have not understood what you are trying to say. A bit Transparency type of write up, not expected from you.
Sporting Memories travelled South India Derby distance of 2400 mtrs start to finish and placed second, behind Born Queen. Forest Flame by no means a mean horse.
My be the other day the going may not be that good for Forest Flame to run in its typical style. In all fairness, we have to give one more chance to Forest Flame and Trevor combo, before writing them off.
No ifs and buts, Derby shiould be in the safe keeping of Poonawalas and the Forest Flame will win by a measure more than of comfort.

Another point ANTIBES ,s John riding weight is 56.5 so NO DEAD WEIGHT.i am told by experts that when rider has same weight as handicapped ,well the rider can balance well so that horse does not carry the burden of dead weight ,as would hv with lead in the saddle...ONE MORE PLUS FOR ANTIBES...STAND

U guy's work really hard and give us such great information. I am still a learner in this field but I have my small choice the dark horse which can upset the whole field is Cristopher weren. There is a reason behind it. U guys should look at his run behind Lord Frankel. He just warmed up late. I think this horse needs distance. Will relish the derby trip should run a good race.
Ruchi said ...
25-Jan-2021
What. U TURN GODZILLA,in the heart of hearts you wanted to say ANTIBES and stillbwant to just because of strong point that ANTIBES will do it, just for gallery sake and not to follow masses you hv gone for FF.Sorry sir FF will be a also ran......
