Roberta-pesi

By Jp | 11-Feb-2021

What 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.

Gentlemen,

What we see is in front of us is quit differeent at the back ( we do not know what is happening and we imagine things so so), most of the times the winners are known but you need pretenders to run and fool you. We are all paying guests to see the show and the there is no use of commenting on their (trainers and owners) on their business.

Today there is an article by the racing correspondent in IR stating "CRÜELTY TO HORSES UNPARDONABLE " in relation to strike by syces at Kolkata. This unimaginative running  of Roberta in a 2800 mtrs race travelling from Poone to Chennai amounts to cruelty only. The trainer boasts of his championship status because of his lots which are more in number and better pedigree should also be worthy of knowing his horse's strengths. Whoever has seen Roberta run till now will clearly agree it is a dud. This trainer as I observed concentrates on select few in his yard and wants to prove he is right. The rest make entry late and fade out after a few runs.He has 65 horses now and out of which 2 are 6 years, 3 are 5 years, 31are 4 years and  29 are 3 year olds. The stable would have had horses as stable mates for the 5 and 6 year olds now. Where are they now ? Only Sacred Roman which has run 9 times and Roberta run 17 times, the rest of the 5 year olds have run  4 times or less. Why Roberta is being run like this ?

Roberta has enormous stud value. Should be in bred to Multidimensional.

What is our problem, in this in stance ,I fail to understand. Have the owners or the trainer asked us for our advice in this matter? They took a chance.
