Kolkata Selections 17 January 2025

By Racebro | 15-Jan-2026

Hi All,

1-2 DUBAI PRINCE - Still a maiden after 25 starts. Last four runs 4-2-2-3 Recent run was a close 3rd over 1400m. Had previously gone upto 1600m. Now going over 2000m might suit. 1 RIGHTEOUS is the danger.

2-5 RESPLEDENCE - Coming with two back to back wins. Last run over 1100m 1:5:60 with suraj in the saddle. The trainer might be using Vinay Jaiswal to get better odds. Will repeat. 1 VICTORIA CROSS might be the danger.

3-6 ANIGRAHA - By Winlegend. Ran a snk 2nd to Polka Dot recently over 1400m with Hundu Singh in the saddle. Now going over the same distance in class with Suraj in the saddle. Should win this time.

4-6 SHINE - Coming with two recent 2nds over 1200 and 1400m 1:23:77 with A Prakash in the saddle. Now going over the same distance with Suraj in the saddle. This can be the DAYS BEST bet and quick double for Suraj.

5-3 MEROPI - Should win the G3 sprint easily.

6-8 SURPRISE FANTASY - Just two runs and both time 2nd over 1200 and 1100m recently 1:5:63 with A Prakash in the saddle. Now with Suraj in the saddle and 100m more to travel, Suraj will have a treble with this one.

7-7 WINSANGEL - By Winlegend. This is the most open race, but my preferene goes to Winsangel with I Chisty in the saddle.

DAYS BEST: ANIGRAHA - SHINE

16-Jan-2026

Hi

RB sir, good to see ya back. Hope all is well

R1 horse 1 Righteous 

With the benefit of a run, can score but the big question mark is Trevor n his insidious riding of late

R2 horse 6 Chililady

Just off the beaten track, if the Lady runs freely then the race is over. 

R3 horse 2 Blue God

4th last time, can do better 

R4 horse 3 Ghirardelli 

Take a chance on each way, can topple both Shine n Pantazi

R5 horse 3 Meropi

Tough to see either Pluto or Black Eagle beating her over the sprint.

R6 horse 3 Priceless Prince 

Good each way chance

R8 horse 1 Most n More

Failed favorite twice, now can score at handsome odds.

Cheers 

The Joker

Mi Arion in the last race looks outstanding for the day. Was a decent performer in class 5 in Mumbai winning 3 races comfortably. Had a run after relocating to Kolkata, mock race on January 9th was eye catching, remaining contenders are mediocore, connections may fancy it. Strictly my view.

Pure Handicapping said ...

15-Jan-2026

Kolkata 

--------------------------------

Race 1) 

2. DUBAI PRINCE - Will definitely take over the Hot favourite 1. RIGHTEOUS near the post will fly from outside and win this race M.S.Deora is attempting third time back to back and he will surely get this time having decent track work and is ready to strike in this small field of 6 runners and for Trinilla lovers go with (2-3-1) (2-4-1) 2-5-1) (2-6-1) keeping Trevor for THP only sorry Trevor lovers so for the the First race my support goes to 2. DUBAI PRINCE - Win

 

Race 2) 

7. CACHE - I will be going with this as Suraj and Trevor will be joint favourite and both the horses are very well tracking and might be a neck to neck fight but with some luck and good riding Gaurav Singh can surprise on 7. CACHE as you have only seven runners better to have some backup on THP also an Eachway is worth taking a chance I am expecting he can manage to get in top two and can win with some good effort let's see because this short distance might suit this Mumbai based horse stable jockey vivek G performed well in his past and ignore last run when ran for first time in Kolkata this second attempt should prove his ability and show what Mumbai horses can do tricky race but I trust this horse and for Trinilla lovers go with (7-1-2) for the Second race my support goes to 7. CACHE - Win / Place

 

Race 3) 

1. MADRAS CHEQUE - Was my Day's Best last time when ridden by A.Ashhad Asbar ( some explanation shared by me on 01-01-2026 regarding this so if anyone is interested you can check ) even this time I will choose this as by day's best last run i seriously don't know what happened from second position he dropped down to dead last and he actually stopped riding and I am surprised no in incident report has been published regarding this and i had posted this on the race day with new topic under the name 1. MADRAS CHEQUE and asked if anyone from Kolkata knows about this incident because and admin also did not post this and if you watch the video also the videographer did not show the horse passing the winning post and I am surprised even for this no matter if the horse is 10-20 lengths behind also and come dead last the videographer will cover each and every horse passing the winning post but did not happen with 1. MADRAS CHEQUE so I really don't know what happened and I will ignore his last run and I have to cover my loss from this horse this time so I will be going big no matter what definitely the odds will be above 8/1 as you have many other contenders this time also same class and distance with same weight hope there will be no surprises this time he will stick and do justice to this great horse and trainer (Patrick Quinn) has only two mount this time and he has got the other horse in this race which is 3. DUBAI RULER so expecting both these horses to be in first and second spot and for Trinilla lovers go with (1-3-7) box 60rs ticket choosing 7. DR DOOM as an UPSETTER so (1-3-7) so for the Third race my support goes to 1. MADRAS CHEQUE - Win 

 

Race 4) 

5. CASHA - Last win was on January 17th 2025 it's been one year and this January should bring him some luck last five runs ridden by Top Jockeys Suraj and Trevor and all runs were performed well hope Vinay Jaiswal can try and match them and do justice to this horse and each way bet is worth taking a chance and concentrate on THP more so for the Fourth race my support goes to 5. CASHA - Eachway 

 

Race 5) 

3. MEROPI - will lift THE CALCUTTA CHAMPIONS` SPRINT TROPHY (GRADE III) no one can beat this horse it's a one horse race and the result should be -3-4-2-1 so for the Fifth race my support goes to 3. MEROPI - Easy Win

 

Race 6) 

10. ROSALIA - Will be my fancy pick for this race yet to come out of maiden ranks and Trevor is the first jockey to ride this but couldn't get the win in the first three starts then it got withdrawn once and last run was tired by imran chisty but failed in a start to finish mission and end up placing 6th this time tracking well and should be in the firing line Arul J.H has the ability to perform well let's wait and watch so for the Sixth race my support goes to 10. ROSALIA - Win

 

Race 7) 

7. WINSANGEL - will be my Next Best for the day confirm win Imran Chisty will take this horse 4-5 lengths away from the rest it will be a one horse race and no once can even come close or even give a fight from the bend in the home straight till the winning post he will be flying no looking back Handy win and 2. MI ARION will be just behind him and for Trinilla lovers go with (7-2-all) so for the Seventh and last race for the day my support goes to 7. WINSANGEL - Easy Win 

---------------------------------

FLUK OF THE DAY 

Race 6) 

11. JEAN LAFETTE - change in shoes should be an advantage - Knocking at the doors Keep an eye 

---------------------------------

Good Luck And May The Best Horse Win
