Jockey S. Siddharth And Chagall

By Precisely_that | 24-Aug-2025

This seems to be fantastic combo as rider and a horse. The horse has been ridden by outstanding jockeys like Trevor,.but somehow didn't win. 

Probably there is a combination of jockey and horse where a horse likes the handling of a particular jockey. Doesn't mean jockey is extraordinary, with that I don't mean to insult S. Siddharth by anyways, cause there are examples of jockeys not being great as an apprentice but have gone to become one of the best. 

I remember a horse called Pat On The Back, it was simply a class 4 animal. But was not winning. It's rating then in Bangalore came to 1. Where Bangalore used to use 40+ ratings for class 1. But the horse completed an Hatrick encore with jockey S..Rajesh. He was no doubt one of the finest rider of his times and horse was trained by his father Samar Singh.

Pre-2006 not vailable on this site. Pat On The Back was born in 2001. He did not race in 2003-04 and did not win in 2004-05. He won his first two races in his first two starts in 2005-06 under S Rajesh and ended the year with another win under Rajesh.

Subject to Pat on the back mentioned in head post matter

1st time it won with Gajendar Singh paying Rs5856/- at Mysore tote as per the records available in ir.com (15.09.2006)

next it won with BL Paswan 27.02.2008

next with S Rajesh 18.06.2008

next with Himanshu 12.11.2008

next with J Paswan 05.01.2010

next with Amarpreet Singh 27.01.2010

the records as per ir.com shows 36 runs and 6 wins, it didn't shows S Rajesh winning thrice on it, I hope ir.com is correct

PAT ON THE BACK - It's one of the highest paid dividend at BLR tote way back in 2006 or 2007. I still remember the odds was 5800 or 6000 per ticket. Let me know if anyone has noticed more than the above mentioned divided on any other horse.

Many times such things happen in Racing. One should not point out such happenings. Instead one should wear a wet cloth on their head chanting Govinda Govinda and move towards Exit Gate.

I think it was jockey Ghajendar singh who rode Pat on the back. It won in Mysore if I remember correctly. Payment at Hyderabad was 3000+ for win on a five rupee bet.

In the nineties there was a jockey G S Bhati at BTC. He was not an extraordinary talent. However, the horses which could not win under star riders would win for him. One newspaper described thus :  the horse goes kindly for jockey G S Bhati
