27-Jan-2026UTTAM - Race number 100 - Mumbai - February Second 2025 - The HPSL INDIAN DERBY - Total 16 runners in which RENQUELINO won ridden by sandesh and the second horse on which I had gambled was horse number 14 PYRITE - ridden by mukesh kumar which was placed second at 793rs SHP - so this year I thought it will be in the line for acceptance so I was expecting this horse and this horse was eligible to run INDIAN DERBY last year from the club only anyways I will take your advice and suggestions and try to understand what Horse racing is first thanks man

27-Jan-2026One of pervious post i mentioned Baychimo/ Sovereignight both had won guiness races in pune and Bangalore but lost in Derby reason slow in gates. Both horses have capabilities they will finish in Top 3 in Mumbai Derby. Fynbos and Baychimo will fight it out in top2. Zacharis is jocker already Baychimo transhed him in pune guiness unfortunately Baychimo slow in gates that's why he lost pune derby.but this this it's won't happen.
Vvb said ...
27-Jan-2026Real upsetter is Red Bishop
Play each way as last 200 mtrs comparison of previous runs is better than all. Kavya beat fynboss is concerning.

26-Jan-2026In all probability Gunsmoke is a non starter, in my opinion this year's Indian Derby is over, Fynbos has already won the race, Sunday what we watch live is actually a replay for me.

24-Jan-2026INDIAN DERBY WINNERS CIRCLE
A) BAYCHIMO --will be punters hot favourite & bookies only hope to loose for profits ,sandesh may not be available so suraj may feel fresh to ride it's a fingers crossed tactic .problem with BAYCHIMO may drift under pressure in last 400 mtrs
B) FYNBOS-- Already clear mile and half in good timings will be second favourite,vivek may not be riding this becoz of it's a big event so foreign jockey may be up shroff feels confident,2.5 kgs fillys allowance can make this feel better to place a bet on this but it will be a tough fight.
C) SOVEREIGN KING -- Last run was coming from rails was heldup for room and finished good second to BAYCHIMO but this time 800 MTRS more to travel if takes good jump and settles in 4 or 5th will be good if not hard to be on board
D) ZACHARIAS -- last two runs looks soft while last runs looks like waiting for BAYCHIMO to win more 400 to travel If ridden by VIVEK will be good chance for upset good connections.
E) NAMIRI - A DARK HORSE IF RIDDEN BY TREVOR PATEL
F) GUNSMOKE - Mallesh can make this one good till Indian derby SURAJ on BAYCHIMO can create a drama for family look tactical race if gunsmoke hits front and sit at 2nd position
My pick -- ZACHARIAS ( Days bBest )on INDIAN DERBY

23-Jan-2026Baychimo my choice for the W
Precisely_that said ...
23-Jan-2026Earlier till last 3 years, Oaks was ran within a span of 10 days to Derby. It used to take a toll on the winner and would find it difficult to repeat. Unless it was very robust like Jacqueline or Moonlight Romance. This time there is a gap of almost 20 days. Which is fair enough to recover and repeat. So Fynbos runs with every chance. Only horse to bear Baychimo. Whose quality staying is in question.
