Back to listsSuraj On Baychimo
By Azim | 28-Jan-2026Suraj is not riding in Kolkata on Friday. Sandesh is suspended will not be available for Derby day due to his on money mount finishes 3rd. Suraj is giving trackwork to Baychimo.
So it's look like Suraj has agreed to ride Baychimo on Derby day. Feel sorry for sandesh but suraj is lucky to have such horse under his belt for Derby. If suraj rides it I think Baychimo will win by atleast 3 lengths.

01-Feb-2026Zacharias hasn't run to his full potential after his Pune Derby win,
Given light ride by Oisin Murphy in Guineas
Checked Baychimo's gas in RR Ruia Cup
Now, the time has come and Zacharias & he is ready to strike the Indian Derby in the safe hands of Vivek G.
Strategy is to settle him in the mid bunch & giving a breather at 600mts, handy till 450 mts, Catch me if you can from 300 mts, accelerate till 150 mts, finishing bust to the last 50 mts, wave at the crowd from 50mts and win the derby by 1 1/2 to 2 lengths.
My choice is Zacharias for the derby.
Wishing him all the best
PS - Zuccarelli nostalgia will repeat once again

31-Jan-2026Well Rested and Raced Sovereign King will run a good race. Needs to jump out well. Draw is good unlike what happened in Bangalore.

Yes horse has to run not the jockey. But you can't deny the fact the positive of suraj narredu on the saddle. He is the best so far in India. Jockeys judgement and understanding the pace of the races always matters of not then why big rides can't be given to the jockeys like Nirmal jodha, S G Prasad or M mark or other less known jockeys. Its simple big owners always truest big jockeys when it comes to feature racings on any big events because they don't want any unturned stone to win it.
Regarding Baychimo it has stamina and burst in last 400 mtr which I think only Fynbod can match in this bunch. The only concern is about extra 400 mtr which Fynbos already have experienced couple of times.
Suraj never keep the horse off the pace he will settled him in mid bunch and then it's gym is vs Baychimo.

29-Jan-2026The Best outsider and only proper staying breed horse is Stormy Sea vs Zacharas..Rest is racing!!
Shaps said ...
29-Jan-2026It will be Fynboss, followed by Baychimo, nothing else will be near these two horses.
Remember My Name said ...
29-Jan-2026Folks, don't think too much. Baychimo has beaten Zacharias and Sovereign King ( it will be a pace maker for Baychimo)
Fynbos speed is tremendous like Baychimo. Will Baychimo sustain 2400m fast paced race. By the time it comes from rear end, the race will be over. Whereas Fynbos improved tremendously with its each run in mumbai season. It will further improve and hack the field. Kalyan will not even place in this fast paced race
Weekend Selections
Saturday : Time and Tide
Sunday : African Gold, Psychic Star, Fynbos
Stand in the queue bets. I guess we don't lose money for sure if we back the above horses. The rest of the races are looking dangerous.
Hey don't forget my name after winning.
Note : Don't play Shambhala. It was tested positive in the last win.

28-Jan-2026Finbos will not win Indian Derby. Finbos is filly so it is very difficult to win. This is my opinion and experience.note

28-Jan-2026Sovereign King each way
Tarun said ...
28-Jan-2026Horse has to run not the Jockey. My feeling is Fynbos will lift the Derby followed by Sovereign King.
