24-Dec-2025@ Golimmar ji
Trevor suspended and fined, but who is at loss?
Loss is only for punters who play big on favourite
If asked
No club, no owner, no jockey, no trainer invites any to come bet and earn in my horse
They always advertise to watch only
But the easy money greed is spoiling the punters
I never ever bet on any other favourite even if it is in my own selection, I believe in earning handsome amount with low investment, if I feel like the favourite is unbeatable, then I refrain from betting on that particular race, rather than burning my fingers on upset at that particular race
But if in any handicap races, the handicapped adjust the weight to have equal chance for all horses, I definitely try to play an upset above 10/1 as all have equal chances as per handicap
Whatever be the reason, for earning in races needs luck favoring too
Regards
Santhosh

24-Dec-2025@Libero...oh yeah there is no rule that favourites should win, but the intent of the team Favourites is the question raised....FYNBOS... trevor suspended for 4 big days and a huge huge huge fine of 50k...such a massive punishment for not riding a horse in which crores of money was running...these type of incidents are being questioned by punters...

23-Dec-2025@Ashraf Ali
I forgot the rule book where it was written as only favourite should win

23-Dec-2025Those who are all blaming the results should learn to believe the logic behind the winners.mumbai is the only centre where no or less gamblers involved it is pure class and every owner nd trainer tries hard to win . In a field of 6+ runners the chance of favs winning is barely 30-40% chance.play safe nd encourage sport for future generations.
Anoasku said ...
23-Dec-2025Though I don't big, I pick 3 or 4 second fav or within odds 4 to 1, bet on 2 horses if in gain will leave course, or if lose 1st two, bet on 3rd my bets will be in range 3k to 5k. I don't play daily may be once or twice in 3 months.
Largly my accounts have been even stevens, nothing to boast

22-Dec-2025Hi folks
Wat a day
Horses like Earth, Mriga n American Eagle oblige.
OISIN hoodwinked people especially on King Ke.
Trevor continues his merry way on Red Bishop
Have no complaint against BAYCHIMO though, won on merit
The show will now continue till April so be cautious whole floundering your hard earned money especially in the classics.
Cheers

22-Dec-2025Horse Racing sport is full of uncertainty. The Clubs are Conducting the the Racing the result is not on their hand . Sometime Card looks Attractive, sometime Tricky and with experience i t can be judged. The four legs animals are doing their job wonderfully.

22-Dec-2025Zacharias is not poised to win a hefty penalty of 22points even British racing the 3y.olds are not able to carry this much, Why Handicappers are not knowing this simple formula?
K. Vijayakumar said ...
22-Dec-2025Well said Ashrafali. Indian racing has lost its old charm mainly attributed to exorbitant taxation followed by contagious disease Glanders engulping sourh indian racing centres . In order to augment financial sources this type of manipulation is needed for stable iwners which resulted in punters hue and cry. Only way to safeguard ourselves from all 5hese misfirtunes and mishappenings we have to restrict punting as much as oossible and invest our financial sources elsewhere where return is guaranteed

Take care pal

22-Dec-2025Kudos to Ashrafali, well said!
Professors can lecture only AFTER the races.
The RWITC (Royal Western India Turf Club) went all out with their over-the-top advertising, roping in an Irish - UK Champion, promising an unforgettable experience. But once again, it was nothing but smoke and mirrors. 9 out of 10 favorites completely crumbled, leaving punters with nothing but empty pockets. The crowd was packed in, but it was clear who the real winners were—the RWITC, raking in the money while the punters got fleeced. It was a classic case of them hyping up an event just to "pickpocket" the public, with little regard for the fairness or excitement of the race itself. A complete scam in broad daylight.

22-Dec-2025@ Ashraf Ali
You explained very good, the tragedy for punters who play Fav for win well, but a few points to keep in mind. Why Always go with the market odds, and why play all races.
You got the bol book pdf one day before. Download it, prepare each race for half an hour or at least 15 min, and next day go play a sure-shot winning horse for place.
One example
Yesterday I played only 2 big shots
Race no 6
Heavens rhythm ( 4) place @ 11/10, almost a winner but shp ...
Race no 7
Tiepolo (5) again only place @ 65 paisa and a winner
Next, go home and don't get tempted to play all races.
Again, I feel in India, maybe 1-2% of people know the art of perfect handicapping, and the rest play based on odds and the craze of playing races without any preparationng races without any preparationng races.
Prinit said ...
22-Dec-2025@ ashrafali very true.
Earth and eastern monarch won like champions.
Tiepolo lost race in the steawrds room last time. This time ran in same fashion but no objection taken by king ke.
Radiant reign was already struggling at halfway mark.
Zacharias never hit top gear. Probably lost all its energy excercising on sand tracks.
Brasilier was never in the race.
This comment may never get posted as admin is very chhoosy.
Golimar said ...
22-Dec-2025@Ashraf Ali... perfectly put by you regarding Sunday's races, your statements echoe in every punters heart. Questionable favorites, questionable rides, questionable underperformance by top quality horses, even horses that are fancied in places where nowhere to be seen.
I indeed put an article after 1000 Guineas day that I will be not posting any selections especially in classics after the dismal questionable ride/performance of Fynbos. Many seniors replied to me that it is a part of game/sport, but the reality is they made this game horrible. With South Indian racing shut, RWITC is the only premier center running, and they are expected to showcase quality racing to the core, but alas! It is not happening. Nightmare. Public will abandon racing when country's top stables are playing havoc. Fynbos lost, zacharias lost, both regarded as top juveniles in India. RIP Indian racing.

21-Dec-2025Asrafali sir
Wanted to sound on these matters but doubted weather it can see the light.
In the first race the field patiently waited for the six lengths start left animal to overtake them
Fourth race is a highway robbery by the professionals and bookmakers syndicate.
Rest is so on and so on continuation.
Goes on to prove what is written in the epics that in Kalikalam gambling place is one among the six residences of Kali Purusha.

21-Dec-2025Hi,
*‘NINE’ FAVOURITES FELL LIKE NINE PINS – A DAY MUMBAI RACING MUST HANG ITS HEAD IN SHAME*
Mumbai Races – Sunday, 21st December 2025
Card of 10 Races | Confidence Destroyed | Credibility Shaken
If ever there was a race day that brutally exposed the widening chasm between advertised glamour and ground reality, Sunday’s Mumbai card was it. A day pushed, promoted, and publicised to the hilt ended up delivering nothing but devastation for the common punter — a literal massacre of trust.
Out of ten races, nine favourites were turned over. Not beaten narrowly. Not unlucky. Not excusably denied. They were humiliated, exposed, and rendered non-competitive — some not even threatening to enter the frame.
Let that sink in.
*A ROLL CALL OF FAILURES*
1st Race: JODI — from the much-touted Ashwa Ankara & Marlboro Man combine — lost without a whimper
3rd Race: ENFORCER @ Evens — beaten fair and square, no excuses
4th Race: Red Bishop — fails to beat Earth, a result that raised eyebrows
5th Race: RADIANT REIGN — favourite and nowhere near the first four
6th Race: AKITANIA — not even in the first three
7th Race: Favourite KING KE — doosra stablemate obliges at lucrative odds, rubbing salt into open wounds
8th Race: RED HOT FAVOURITE ZACHARIAS — not on the frame
9th Race: BRASILIER — out of the first five
10th Race: BEZALEL — not even good enough for the top two
The only favourite to salute the judge was ALL FOR LOVE (75/100) in the second race — a lone survivor on a battlefield littered with broken betting slips and shattered confidence.
*THE PUNTER WAS SLAUGHTERED*
This was not racing.
This was not competition.
This was systematic annihilation of the betting public.
Racegoers were lured in — through aggressive promotion, social media noise, and the promise of a “great Sunday card” — only to be cleaned out race after race. By mid-card, the grandstands echoed less with excitement and more with disbelief, anger, and resignation.
For the small punter, the backbone of Indian racing, this was not a bad day — it was a financial and emotional wipeout.
*THE UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS*
When favourites fail, it is part of racing.
When nine out of ten favourites collapse — it becomes a pattern, not coincidence.
Were these horses presented to win?
Were they ridden to instructions that matched market confidence?
Why did stablemates at fancy odds suddenly find dramatic improvement?
And most importantly — who is accountable?
*SILENCE, AS USUAL*
What makes the situation even more galling is the predictable silence that follows. No stewards’ inquiries of consequence. No transparent explanations. No accountability from leading stables. No reassurance to the betting public that the integrity of the sport is being protected.
The leading stable of the day did not just win races — it handed despair to the racing public.
*IS THIS HOW YOU GROW HORSE RACING?*
Authorities speak endlessly about reviving the sport, attracting new audiences, and increasing footfall. Yet, days like this do more damage than a thousand empty stands.
You cannot market hope and deliver hopelessness.
You cannot sell confidence and engineer confusion.
You cannot ignore the punter and expect the sport to survive.
Sunday was not merely a poor advertisement for Mumbai racing — it was a warning siren.
If such days continue unchecked, horse racing will not need enemies.
It will destroy itself from within.
The question is no longer what went wrong.
*The real question is — who has the courage to ask, and who will be forced to answer?*
punters full loss suffering after glander races are made up mostly.

21-Dec-2025My Selections – Today’s Card (For Discussion)
Sharing my thoughts race by race based on current form, suitability to conditions, and overall profile. Happy to hear counter views.
Race 1 – Marlboro Man (No. 3)
Looks well placed in this field. Consistent efforts recently and should be comfortable at this trip. If he breaks cleanly, he can be right in the finish.
Race 2 – Lucio (No. 5)
Progressive type who appears to be moving in the right direction. Has shown enough ability to suggest he can outclass this lineup if things go smoothly.
Race 4 – Ultimo (No. 1)
Drawn well and has the class edge on past performances. If reproducing his better runs, he should be hard to beat.
Race 5 – Lornezo (No. 3)
Conditions seem to suit, and a positive ride could make the difference.
Race 6 – Akitania (No. 3)
Consistent and reliable sort. Handles similar company well and should be involved in the final shake-up.
Race 7 – Tiepolo (No. 5)
Interesting contender with scope for improvement. If he settles early, he has the turn of foot to make an impact late.
Race 8 – Sovereign King & Western Star
Open race. Both have shown flashes of form and could surprise if things fall their way. Worth keeping an eye on how the race develops.
Race 10 – American Eagle (No. 10)
Capable finisher who may benefit from pace up front. If timed right, can close strongly in the final furlong.
Best of luck to all, and looking forward to other opinions and insights.

You can play NAMIRI and stand in queue, if you get money then it's a wonder
Friends NAMIRI is a class 4 winner and weight increases 2kg, so it's a superior for class 4 and equal to class 3 but so many horses are class 2 in that 8th race so don't follow blindly, and finally what I am saying it has a chance of 0.01 percentage but not zero because it's a race

19-Dec-2025It is very encouraging to see a race card of 10 races on 21-Dec. All the races have 8 horses or more. We are seeing such a good card after a long long time. Kudos to RWITC for framing such a healthy card, specially at a time when the racing industry is facing the Glanders challenge. May this positive pattern continue, and may our racing industry thrive again!
