 we got good ods on FYNBOSS  for win  because HYPE was created about the horse BACHYMO  after SURAJ was booked to ride BACHYMO and also    FYNBOSS  was  lost in 1000 GUINEAS.. I congrajulate the connections, all the race lovers who fancied and persisted with FYNBOSS on DERBY day

  Fynbos it's a pure stayer bloodlines  other contenders are cant predictable whether they stay trip, Considering all aspects fynbos was True champion current scenario indian racing. I prefer Australian racing but on Derby occasion Fynbos make my day with hugh profit. Thanks to Owner/ Trainer/ Tom did exceptionally wonderful job.

Congratulations to the winning team. Vivek could have done the same butTM was engaged to prevent any loss like the 1000 Guiness. Poor Vivek lost the chance. Fynboss no doubt is a good horse. In the absence of outstation challengers it's task was cut out. It can win the Invitation with no outstation challengers. 

Zuccherali won the Bangalore Derby by 15 lengths and in a space of 11 days won the Indian Derby. It couldn't even finish 2nd in the Invitation and was shown its place by Juliette. So Fynboss is not the boss. Don't over rate a horse with one win.

Will the invitation be taking place this year. If so where and when. What is invitation race if no other centre horses will be participating nor can be invited.  Hope someone can explain.

Trevor deserves the credit for keeping Fynbos in top condition for anyone to ride and win the Derby, where Tom was not required. Even Mukesh Kumar (Hyderabad) would have won on Fynbos with nourishing odds 

It's like someone to put an effort for a successful project and some new comer suddenly appearing and taking the credit.

@ blockbuster 

U rightly sai I also acknowledged with you, Baychimo defeat fynbose in next meet if they run.

Not ignored the champio fynbose but also right to say that no one beliefs who are  daily race goer  that Baychimo is running with his merit, Its just my thinking don't take it otherwise, most of all there are  three concern in derby, Adhiraj, Pessi and Mk. and also there 8 horses in together with  one concern i.e pessi and mk. and the main competitor of fynbose come from Adhiraj, if he off then the race is simple. I again mention that never ignor fynbose but what the running of Baychimo. If any  next race fynbose meet with Baychimo then he will win definitely.

I am a race goer since 2000 I mention this only for running of Baychimo

All the best

FYNBOS THE BOSS OF INDIAN HORSES

NIMBLE BODY  WITH GREAT STAMINA ,TEMPER , ABILITY, SPEED ,INTENSITY , DEXTERITY 

The way she parades at paddock itself shows ready to dominate opponents even two handlers can't hold it taking handlers forward with her strong legs

FYNBOSS add another 'S'

Just 24 hours before the Derby race, and after I had seen olr videos again and again, my conclusion was the FYNBOS is the best.  Kavya was fit only for shorter distances.  My prediction hit the nail on the head,  FYNBOS is a horse class apart.  Congrats to Trainer & Rider combo.

Nice win . Pessi made her peak at the right time. Hard Held was the tracks . But will be difficult to keep her in that condition. So ruling her out.

@BLACKBUSTER 

I don't think by seeing INDIAN DERBY  RUN of FYNBOS trainer adhiraj will skip INVITATION and he puts BAYCHIMO in MAJ P K MEHRA SUPER MILE

EACH EVERY ONE KEEP THIS IN URS MINDS FYNBOS WILL INVITATION & WILL BE RACING AT DUBAI ,THE PRIDE OF INDIA IS FYNBOS 

BUT IN INVITATION WE DONT GET THE ODDS WE GOT IN DERBY WILL BE HOT FAVOURITE BELOW 80 PAISE

REMEMBER THE NAME & FAME OF FYNBOS 

THE BOSS INDIAN HORSE RACING

The Horse Won the Race by its potential bloodlines  and with the little help  by  jockey..What about "Puccini "may be not on job.

Baychimo will beat Fynbos hollow in the Invitation Cup!

Hi

Don't agree with your suggestions 

One of the weakest fields

Look at Red Bishop n Baychimo

 Both lying last n then moving when race is over

Well deserved Fynbos but not happy with the rides of our two big jocks Trevor Patel n Suraj Narredu
