Also importantly, he was never in the frame or in the battle. He rode as if Mayne Magic was a Class 5 dud horse. It was his first run at Hyderabad, but a 116 rated horse finishing 7th with no presence in the race was a very poor performance.

@ one two ka four - yes very true .. whatever you mentioned 

 

@rahul71

 

For sure, the owner and trainer had more confidence in Suraj than Antony Raj. That’s why they left Antony Raj. I don’t think he left on his own will.

 

@godzilla You may be right, but I played that race. Dubai Touch was my play at 45 paisa, mainly because I felt Fortis was heavily overrated in the odds.

 

Nevertheless, I saw your pick Gloria at big odds, and it absolutely thrashed the field. Excellent selection.

 

I also want to say this. From 2018 to 2022, I used to follow your selections, and you were consistently giving some epic picks. After 2024, I started developing my own handicapping system.

 

Once again, bang on selection with Gloria.

 

Take care

@Only AntonyRajs can do it I have doubt in mind since when Race Card published saw jockeys till last my mind was on Prokofiev because jockey made the difference between Won & Loose but loose the opportunity making some money but there's no Ifs& Buts in Racing

Race Professor - You said everything without saying anything.

As you said not because of money as money can be recovered at any time and many may not deny as long as one has time, patience and right opportunity, but todays run will miscalculated all the formulas in racing and discarded to the drain. ( i understand it's racing and anything can happen but our so called champions jockey coming for one mount and changing the physics of horse racing in an unexpected way is not acceptable )

Again You said 

Some losses hurt the pocket, some losses hurt the heart,
And together they tear your world apart,
Leaving you broken in the dark,
But nothing is stronger than a punter's patience."

Good selections by Pardip Singh Dustintory godzilla and samir. And one request to most elaborate person no need to cry on split milk daily 

Rahul71 said ...

17-Aug-2026

@race professor....wonder why Antony left Mayne magic and partnered Prokofiev? Any answers?

Godzilla said ...

17-Aug-2026

RP

My advise to you is not to play Classics and Big Races, which are earmarked for the Connections.

Dont get annoyed on Jockey Suraj or Trevor.      They have their own restraints.

You could have played GLORIA 3rd Race AK47 mount and kept quiet.

You missed a golden opportunity.

A Pride That Was Untouchable… Until Today

 

From 26th January 2025 to 26th July 2026, Mayne Magic, under the hands of Antony Raj, never got boarded out. Forget a board out .... he didn’t even finish outside the top 2... He met all kinds of contenders, handled different distances, and kept proving himself time and time again.

 

But today… that pride came crashing down.

 

Not because of the money. Money can be recovered anytime.

What hurts is seeing my buddy Mayne Magic’s pride shattered today.

 

And for me, this is where I draw the line.

 

From today, as long as I continue playing racing, I will never back a Suraj Nareddu mount again, no matter how good the horse looks on paper. If my trusted horse is ridden by him, I’ll simply skip the horse — or skip the race altogether.

 

Some losses hurt the pocket.

Some losses hurt the heart.

 

Today was the second one.

 

That’s all, people.

Have a

wonderful evening.

Hyderabad Today : Card favours handicap racing ..

RACE 1. EK : A speedy customer Won commanding  @ 1200 met. Penlised ,but 100 met less to travel with good draw  SHOULD WIN.

2. QUEEN ETERNAL: Consistent performer in last 2 runs, shaping well in recent trails ,with good jockey should have a FIGHTING CHANCE. 

3. FORTIS : Ran decent races in Bangalore,  having class profile , SHOULD WIN .

4. OJAS MAXIMUS  : In Form, Brilliant Victory at same trip time 1.07, Speedy should go all the way .

5. EMRALD TOUCH : Lost narrowly, but at better timing 1.14.29. Should be considere now. AN EACH WAY PROFILE.

6. ALFONSINE  : IN PINK OF A CONDITION . TRACKING IMPRESSIVE AFTER LAST RUN ,HAS TO BE CAUTIOUS FOR PRESENT LONG HYDERABAD STRAIGHT, AS HORSE HAVING TENDENCY TO HIT THE FRONT AFTER THE BEND. BUT CAN TACKLE THIS FIELD VALUE : WIN .

7. ASHOKA : Last run good efforts carring heavy weight,  tracking perfect with G P . Top jockey on saddle..SHOULD HAVE BOLD SHOW.

8. HOPING HIGH: Ran 2 races not on job, today with A" shooes with good workout can pose threat.  EACH WAY .

DAYS BEST: EK .

Be a Responsible gaming.

3 Shots for the Day

 

Race 3  

Dubai Touch (1)

 

Place: 25 units from 40 paisa to any odds

 

Win: 5 units

 

 

 

Race 5 

Emerald Touch (4)

 

Place: 30 units from 40 paisa to any odds

 

Win: 5 units

 

 

 

Race 6 

Mayne Magic (2)

 

If the first two races flop, whatever is lost will be doubled on my buddy Mayne Magic (2). Just watch the place odds closely they may disappear quickly. Hammer place from even 35 paisa to any odds, plus 5 units win.

 

If the first two races return without loss:

 

Mayne Magic (2)

 

5 units Win + 30 units Place

 

Today’s distance is his ideal trip, and Suraj rides him for the first time instead of Antony Raj. The signs are positive for a win, but place first grab whatever odds are available.

 

Note: Think twice before playing Alfonsine for win.

 

That’s it, guys. Too much work today. Good luck!

 

Let’s hammer or get HAMMERED

1-1 EK - Recent winner will repeat 3 FLYING FURY last run 4th this season was after a gap of 2years can be considered a lung opener that too in class3 that too in a no whip race is the danger is a safe place bet.

2-6 LOVE IN PARIS - Recent run a very good 3rd over 1100m 1:7:75 with Jodha in the saddle who is the stable jockey riding again. Will come out of maiden ranks. 9 QUEEN ETERNAL both runs 2nds, might run well again and a good safe place bet.

3-4 FORTIS - Recent run a good 3rd in bangalore with TP in the saddle over 1200m. I am sure will beat 1 DUBAI TOUCH ran a good 3rd recently over 1100m in a no whip race with Neeraj in the saddle. Now going over 1200m will suit and Deora in the saddle is a good safe place bet.

4-4 OJAX MAXIMUS - Impressive winner recently over 1100m 1:7:7 beating Yali and Love in Paris with AA Vikrant in the saddle who is riding agains. I prefered Love in Paris in third race, if wins then OM will win again.

5-4 EMERALD TOUCH - Ran an impressive 2nd recently over 1200m 1:14:29 a nk behind Catch the worm with AA in the saddle. Now Neeraj in the saddle will win this time.

6-2 MAYNE MAGIC - After 7 wins in a row, last four runs 2nds. Suraj is back from UK might win on this one. 1 ALPHONSINE and 11 TOLKEIN will be in fighting line and good for SHP/Place.

7-1 ASHOKA - A class1 horse. Recent run a good 2nd over 1200m can be considered a lung opener with Deepak in the saddle. Now booking of Akshay in positive and will be winning over 1400m.

8-1 GLIMMER OF HOPE - Ran 3rd recently over 1100m in a class4 race. Now going over 1400m and with Gaurav Singh in the saddle should be an easy winner in this lowest category race.

DOUBLE: FORTIS - EMERLAND TOUCH

DOUBLE: MAYNE MAGIC - ASHOKA

DAYS BEST BETS: LOVE IN PARIS - OJAX MAXIMUS
