Back to listsGrey Areas In The Comparative Output Of January'2021 Classics With January'2019 ??
By Bka | 01-Feb-2021Importance of slightly new trends in Classic Races as partially visible in last 2 races namely ---- Bangalore Derby. 26th Jan'21 & Golconda Oaks 31st Jan'21, two things common for study purposes that winner started or moved up to front running when Winning Post was almost 1000M away & won these two Classics (Different way not Start To Finish or generating an alarming burst in last 600M or even less distance away from Winning Post, conventionally), with miserable timings as evidenced by first 1400M timings and total 2400M timings. (Accelerate or show dash for this remaining 1000M , lack of devastating burst/ ding dong battle or telling strides).
Timings quite poor 2 mt : 35 sec & 2 mt : 32 sec (one to observe) respectively in comparison to previous years these Classics taken in the calendar year. ## Is this a strategy (beyond understanding of simple punter) or something brewing out ?? or just made pace for 2nd & 3rd placed horses (Lombardy / Lake Tahoe in Hyderabad & Sovereign Legend / Forest Flame in Bangalore Derby, respectively), taken as preparatory / welcome race for further coming Classics. (There previous outings were mere **Lung Openings**, treat like so, if possible).

**Data Interpretation & Artificial intelligence** of the above two tables, emphasis very interesting results & throw some clumsy light over "Grey Areas", likely to be studied for **Future Classics**. However, penetrometer reading / weather / climate also are variables & have its own impact on that particular day.
My small anxiousness brought myself to some scale / dimension, tried to tiny vivid picturisation (no novelty at all) would be **Greeted To Greatest** by not even great, without "Fathom A Reason & Frail".
