Agreed .. if at all it wins any future races ... It will be limited to 1400m in A centers. If running with duds it is different. Once beaten is beaten in races mile nd above .. RB has already beaten prokof in Colts. I don't understand how one can play  it..thinking it is improved or progressive .  That's what bookies bank on. 

PTrevur is a better in Graded races anyday. 

Prokofiev best horse but red bishop beaten 

Next time prokofiev 

Godzy sir. 

Please let us know how in his first race on 4.1.25 in bangalore prokofiev gets a rating of 69 without competing in any race. 

Please share your valuable suggestion sir. 

Same in case of red bishop first race. 

Prokofiev needs rider like srinath or Trevor. 

Vivek G.will win on Prokofiev he can judge the pace very well and can position the horse to it's advantage he need to be given a chance to ride Prokofiev

The best way to ride this horse is midfield with cover. show him daylight the last 200 metres. he will put away the other horses in 2 strides. race over. He is a top horse but needs to be ridden the right way. Don't give up on this champion.

FASHIONIST...Looks gd for. Shp/plc.

KLIMT V/s TRUE PUNCH.

MEGHANN V/s NOBLE CAUSE.

MALET SPRING....Can upset.

MAGNATIC-TIGNANELLO.

MOANA.

CLODY- Shp.

It's a one paced horse. I don't deny it's improvements. May win Bangalore 2000 Guiness with style of running he has. But at the moment doesn't look cut above. Talking about Red Bishop, he is also not someone extraordinary. Trevor just judged the race to perfection. He will also be a decent group race horse. Nothing something like multiclassic.

Bookmakers pet&Punters nightmare

@GODZY

PROKOFIEV emerges as CHAMPION & BEST HORSE OF INDIA SOON 

NOTE MY POINT 

Owners & trainers eyeing on big ones

Red bishop will be no way near PROKOFIEV in future

Hi Godzilla superb posting hats off from my heart to mouth 

Golimar

I never said Prokofiev is a bad horse. I only said Prokofiev lacks stamina for long distance races.

It will take sometime to analyse the horse after its Derby run, and also find out about Surajs riding. Hastily said comments never deserve weightage in anyone's case, be it me also. That's that.

One horse race gachhattu derby. It winning without using whip turnoff foot tremendous.4 out of 4 winner without useing whip

Pesi Luck As such with Indian derby is well known

With all due respect to Pesi as prof.. n bloggers for their input. 

Please understand Some Horses mature bit late.

Antony .riding first time probably not understood the likings n disliking of proko he was riding.

Looks like Suraj/Akshay will ride next time. 

PROKOFIEV will prove to be Good horse sooner.

One can't judge horse with one race verdict. 

To keep any Classic Animal fine tuned involves lot many parameter needs to be ticked for favorable out come.

Better animal on that day won. All the gud to to team.

I m writing this as I follow that animal when ever it runs next time. 

Want to keep confidence alive on that connections n wishing them Good Luck next time.

Pattu is very strategic trainer n committed 

Surely will bring in best next time.

@Mr.Godzilla sir; With due respect; at Hyderabad we all saw one of most thrilling race with both Prokofiev and Red bishop fighting out and finally one have to be the winner n it was Red Bishop by shed....Both the horses are extremely powerful n capable for anything....
As per Indian Derby is concerned i on my personal conception feels its Going to be Fynbos no matter who the rider is going to be ...The horse itself is good enough and capable and honestly far better than Red Bishop... But as in racing nothing is permanent and nothing is guaranteed....so let's see how card is prepared ....Because Indian Derby always have own something new in store for punters ...

I guess this time Indian Derby will be lifted by young pro Vivek G 

Shroff and trevor give him a chance 

@Gidzilla - Yes, I remember you had given Prokofiev for bang derby with very much confident.. Played win place. 

I thought it will win in Hyd even though you had given horse against it which is Red Bishop..

Thanks for this insight

@Godzilla

I strongly disagree with your assessment sir. You can't change your statements like a seasoned politician. You said after Bangalore derby that Prokofiev lost only because of Suraj Narredu's inept handling, and now you are saying Prokofiev is a bad horse/unfit for middle and longer distances. May I know which statement of yours is true? 

Prokofiv is free running horse where red bishop find always tough in straight. I bet of again RB and Prokofiv runs over 2000 mtr Prokofiv finish ahead of RB

That's good study and insight Godzilla, thanks for sharing. And you're right in pointing out two potential Indian Derby winners in Fynbos and Red Bishop. What is your take on Arrived as a contender?
