Dear Race Professor,

I'm truly intrigued by the way you make your observations, and trust me, up until now, glancing through HT was just sort of an interlude, I never ever took anyone's choices seriously, no matter what they said, but if there's someone like you, giving detailed analysis, I go through those observations, because obviously, that person has invested his/her time, and probably feels strong about the choices.

Some words like 'plateaued', 'holding steady,' are words that can be used by only a keen observer, and I say that in terms of racing knowledge, not in linguistic terms. Honestly, I like the way you express yourself, and probably, for the first time I find myself checking your write-up before making my choice.

One more thing, your pick of no. 10 yesterday, even though an on money favorite was pretty good, and I say that because you mentioned that choice before the odds were out, and, picking a gem like that, a debutant, is truly creditable. Keep up the good work pal.

Race 1) 

8. GODSEND DIVINE - last race was an educational run which can be ignored the same jockey is retained and this No Whip race can be an advantage and 7. YUVI is also tracking well recent track works shows beating ZAMBEZI which is running in the second race and Ankush is the only jockey who has performed well on this horse the only issue is running in Steel so just keep an eye or use it for Exata or for a small back-up 8. GODSEND DIVINE looks safe bet in this batch as 1-9-2 will be joint favourite which is of no use 

 

Race 2) 

5. ZAMBEZI - last run planted in the stall and lost 7-8 lengths at the start SSC REVOKED by the started and because of 1600 meters was able to cover grounds and placed 5th in a close finish this time Top jockey on the mount Vaibhav can manage to take over every one except VISHAL N.BJNDE Rider of 9. VENENO last two run closed 3rd and 4th in a close finish over 1600 meters this time 200 meters less to travel should not be much difficult will try for start to finish mission 

 

Race 3) 

1. HONEY CAKE - if run on merit will win again by 3-4 lengths in hand . Last run won in a close finish by neck in the same class and distance this time 3.5kg less with no whip jockey is not much difficult as it is a front runner can manage easily by leading the pack with the margin and 4. FALCONBRIDGE - last run ridden by Trevor drifted out and end up placing 4th from second position this run with 2kg less can manage a decent place 

 

Race 4) 

4. WATCH MY STRIDE - two disadvantages are (1) sudden switch in shoes from aluminium to steel (2) no whip jockey and two advantages are (1) 5kg allowance (2) almost 12kg less in the same class last two runs with 61.5 and 62 kg this time 50kg is a big gap to look for in this short trip so take your call 

 

Race 5) 

3. KAY START - with the front runner benifit have to run a bold race Trainer and Jockey combination is worth taking chances and 5. LORD VADER - impressive winner in his last start in the lower class a Mumbai based horse because of soft track the shoe is changed to steel and if try can manage to put up another winning gallop 

 

Race 6) 

2. BLINKY BILL - tried in higher class and failed many times this Demotion is the chance to prove and 8. THE GENERAL - last run failed favourite in the hands of Trevor in a no whip race this set with weight advantage should not be much difficult 

 

FLUK OF THE DAY 

Race 3) JEAN LAFETTE - knocking at the doors 

 

Dangerous jockey for the day - R.VAIBHAV - can spoil your day or can make your day

5th race 

 

Though Light The World(6)  has been narrowly beaten in past outings by both Dona Sienna and Kay Star, she emerges as a major threat this time due to a noticeable uptick in recent trackwork performance. She has been clocking strong closing sectionals and showing sharper acceleration in morning drills, indicating she’s at her physical peak. Unlike in previous races where she was edged out in the final strides, her current fitness levels  combined with her consistent race record, ideal draw (stall 2), and the booking of P. Trevor  significantly strengthen her chances of reversing the form.

Moreover, while Dona Sienna and Kay Star remain competitive, their recent timings and effort levels suggest they've plateaued or are holding steady, whereas Light The World is still progressing. The improved track gallops suggest she’s finishing her workouts with more intent, pointing to a strong late burst in the final 200m. With this renewed sharpness and tactical draw advantage, Light The World now shapes up as a serious winning proposition, capable of turning the tables on past rivals. Investment 10k easy win 

Race 6 

Raissa  (5) stands out as the most complete contender in this field.  recent form is superb – been consistently finishing in the top three, even against tougher company. Importantly,  last three runs were sharp, clocking strong times over 1100–1400m, showing both speed and finishing ability. ( When came 10th whip lost incident)

track work is top class, featuring multiple sharp 800m gallops, including a brilliant 0.59s with a final 400 in just 28s while being hard held, indicating  peaking at the right time. fit, tuned, and in  best condition yet.

All this makes Raissa a clear top pick and worthy win / each way bet today.(15k investment)

Fresh Hope (4) – The Potential Upset Horse:(5k investment)

Fresh Hope is a seasoned mare with strong past performances over this 1100–1200m range, especially in Class IV where she clocked 1:05.90 and 1:13.54 finishing right behind King Of Hell and Impressiva – both good yardsticks....carrying a featherweight (52.5 kg), which significantly boosts  chances. Importantly, trackwork has been impressive this week – clocking 1.01s over 800m with a 400m in 29.6s while moving smoothly and without pressure. That shows maintained  fitness and can sneak into the finish late if the front-runners falter.

could be upset at big odds if the pace suits her closing run keep her in SHP/THP/ place small bet win

All the best guys 

Hey Chandrashekhar (Offer Boy),

Where have you been? The other day, I accepted your offer, and to answer your question: yes, I’ve seen a lot of 165k in my account. After doing a deep analysis, I spent about four hours studying nine races. I understand that you tend to get 10 tickets wala person , but it seems like you’re struggling to handle that. Your quick reply surprised me! I was busy winning, so I couldn't respond sooner.

Yesterday was a decent day overall, even though two of my selected horses in different races were withdrawn. I managed to place a bet on number 10 in the eighth race and ended up betting more than I intended. I predicted that the horse "Star of Opera" would perform well, and it did! However, I didn’t realize how much of a favorite it was. I also placed a bet on "Gusto’s Boy" for the shp

Overall, you're a unique person( different breed); perhaps you could benefit from managing your mindset better. If you're feeling overwhelmed, I suggest consulting someone. You might be a bit off balance, but don’t worry; it was still a decent day.

Take care!

Note : Predicting a horse like "Star of Opera" without knowing the odds and competing against other runners will take you a lifetime. If you want tips, just ask, and I’ll teach you how to play the races. And hey, get well soon! I was laughing while typing this from my office.

Hi All,

1-2 KINDRED SPIRIT - Recent run away winner over 1200m by 6L 1:14:02 with S Kamble in the saddle who is retained to ride. Now going over shorter trip of 1100m will be to its advantage even though gone up in weights. Will repeat.

2-7 VICTORIA CROSS - Coming with couple of recent runs in bangalore over 1200m, last one a winning one with Neeraj in the saddle who is riding again. Only 3yr old in the race. Can be a one horse race.

3-8 SPORTING TRAINER - Recent run a good 2nd with an apprentice on board over 1100m 1:8:82 Now going over the same distance with R Vaibhav in the saddle now. 1 HONEY CAKE and 5 OISHIKA good place bet.

4-3 LA DOMINATE - Speedy customer. Winner of last race will continue winning again.

5-4 DONA SEINNA - Will win again.

6-1 DALI SWIRL 

Follow R Vaibhav - Might win last four races.

*KOLKATA MASALA SELECTIONS (05/08/2025) :*

 

RACE 1 : Hrs no 5 ( *SWIFT LADY*) failed as fav last run as bleeded during race, now looks well and much improved, working jockey gets on top, if in galloping mood can get her long pending win today. 

*STRONG FANCY*

 

RACE 2 : Hrs no 7 ( *VICTORIA CROSS*) after clearing his maiden tag from Bangalore now back to his home town for making handicap debut, retains winning form, same combo is repeating, should be right there in the finish in this extended trip today. 

Hrs no 3 ( *SEA OF CHARM*) double drop down in class, should not go down easily. 

 

RACE 3 : Hrs no 2 ( *MORANO*) well bred very speedy type light frame fillie, ignor her last outing over 7 furlongs, now running in her ideal distance, ace rider engaged on top, if can handle the wide draw should retain her unbeaten stakes in Kolkata. 

 

RACE 4 : Hrs no 2 ( *LIBAN*) speedy bred running in his ideal distance, working well in morning tracks, try rider back on saddle, if intent positive can romp back home today. 

Hrs no 4 ( *WATCH MY STRIDE*) can upset, keep an eye. 

 

RACE 5 : Hrs no 6 ( *LIGHT THE WORLD*) failed as fav last run over C&D in same class, now much improved and is in good form, ace jockey engaged on top with a favorable draw, looks all set to put up a winning gallop today. 

*DAYS BEST*

 

RACE 6 : Hrs no 6 ( *CAT WHISKERS*) ignor his last outing as badly interfered at the start, now in Kolkata, showing good speed frequently in morning trials, working jockey gets the mount, if hits the front will be hard to beat today. 

Hrs no 5 ( *RAISSA*) should be fighting for minor placings. 

 

*HAPPY PUNTING FRIENDS*
