By Jp | 11-Feb-2021What a pity.? Roberta will cry if it can. This horse with a imposing pedigree on paper never showed any results worth the breeding or his trainer's champion status. A dubious Indian Oaks win to show it off as a classic winner and couple of 2nd places in St.Leger more due to lack of entries rather than merit. You can understand the class of the few who finished behind. Roberta is a filly and the connections could have sent her to the stud to exploit her breeding results and who knows they could have got a good foal by this time. Just because the connections could afford,the horse was brought to Chennai along with flight charges/staying expensesto the trainer/jockey. Knowing well the horse's potential it was a waste and also adding more pain to the horse to make it run 2800 mtr.,travel to and fro. Yes, all entries in a race are not tried in a race and a few run as preparation with a future race as target. This can be achieved in the home centre.
