Derby Count Down Begun At Namma Bengaluru

By Race Professor | 02-Jul-2026

I see MARGARETTA as one of the top two contenders, and she could even pull off a stunning victory at adorable odds.

Her last run, along with her previous performances, has been nothing short of impressive. The biggest takeaway from that last race? Not even once did the rider have to use the whip. She travelled comfortably throughout, suggesting she had plenty left in the tank.

To me, this filly still hasn't revealed her true potential or unleashed her full gallop. That run on 14/06/26 & 23/05/25 felt like nothing more than a trailer. The real movie could be on Derby day.

If she brings out her actual ability, she has every chance to blow this field apart.

From an investment point of view, I really like her place odds, and I believe they can offer excellent returns with relatively lower risk.

Now, let's see whether she hammers the field... or gets hammered herself.

All the best to MARGARETTA!

Except for 1 D'Artagnan & 5.Margaretta the others are class 3 rated. Hence fight between the top rated Margaretta & D'Artagnan is expected for bangalore summer derby

@ Golimar

your inside information is correct. Here after only on course betting till July end and no on course betting at Bengaluru. Every thing is in the hands of Lord Sarath .

keep trying and keep on

Dear Knowingly Unknown and Viswanathan

Buckingham wont even be entered in the derby. Not sure who is giving you all these false info. Any ways good luck when it runs in bangalore or Pune next.

Coming to Derby these might be probable runners.

Margaretta will be ridden by Vivek, while Dartagnan will be ridden by Yash. Since Vivek gets the first choice of ride, it suggests Margaretta is considered the better horse. Now let's see how things unfold on race day!

Mr.venkatesh for last 2 years summer Derby have been favourite winner 

2025= Fynbos

2024=Santamisso 

Yes if shroff horse wins this year than it will be 5th winner for him on trot. Since 2022 Shroff is winner of Bangalore derby   So let's first get acceptance atleast.  Than show our knowledge.

Bookmakers r extremely clever.. don't even think of place odds for this filly...she will most probably be joint fav..and unless ur betting in lakhs u won't see any place bet value in ur investment..These kind of races r best to just enjoy watching.. investment 0..fun 100 percent..

We have to be able to estimate the strategy and gamble of trainer Shroff with other co-trainers on derby day
