By Racebro | 18-Aug-20261-2 GOODWILL - By Deauville. Trainer expected high of this horse, therefore ran in Derby but was dist 5th of 12. Recent run a good 3rd over 1400m can be considered a lung opener with Vishal Bunde who rode before as well. The next best in the race is 3 KSEPIMAN.
2-4 ADMIRINGLY - Just three runs 2-1-1 Both wins came over 1600m and one in a million race. The only 3yr old in the race. More to come from this horse. 3 of the 4 horses are trained by Arti Doctor. 2 UPPER STREET won well over 1400m recently by 7L in a class4 race will settle for SHP.
3-5 TOGO - Winner in class3 and good 3rd in class2 over 1600m. Tracking well with Goodwill. My study is, If Goodwill wins the first race I think Togo should run well too winning this race beating 1 HEART who is carrying top weight might settle for SHP.
4-1 SAIKO - Just four runs 2-1-2-1 Last win over 1200m very impressive in which 2 SILVER DREAM was 12L behind the winner. I am sure more to come from this horse. 3 CEILO is the next best in the race.
5-1 PANTAZI - Last run over 1400m 3rd can be considered a lung opener. Prior two runs winning over 1200m in class2 and class1. Can be a one horse race in this three horse field.
6-3 LAAMIKA - Even though it is an open race. I prefer Laamika.

20-Aug-2026Dear All,
I would like to thank each and everyone of you who praised me for my selection and given me very positive comments. Thank you Fishing Foal for such lovely comments, means a lot.
As I have in the industry for a very long time, more than 40 years since my college days, owing horses too.
I always quote what my cousin who use to say, Once the gates open the horse doesnt know the owner nor the trainer, which is so true. It runs to its merit guided by the jockey.
Today was the day. I select horses with thorough study, but its 50-50 based on lots of factors. I wish each and everyone good luck! Play safe and dont go overboard, play within limits.
There are few great tipsters in this forum, I look at their selection as well.
Godzy the great! Cinch, Anushree, Abhay, Dunstintory, King of hearts, and many more I am missing.
Best Wishes,
Racebro

Saaz Kol said ...
20-Aug-2026Today's learning for me. Never lay in a small field and Never lay a fav when the horse you like is from the same connection . Anyways, loss is loss so accepting is better. After losing just 2 races in the beginning I am done for the day. I didn't lay Goodwill because it was above 4/1. But I lost playing 3 win. That was the horse for which I gave to lay no. 2.
Next rece I gave to eat fav because I liked no. 2 a lot. But the way Tejeswar rode it never had any intention of passing stablemate. Confidence is gone for the day. Will cover the losses in Pune.
Hope you guys win. All the best
Fishing Foal said ...
20-Aug-2026Hats off Racebro,
Despite serious criticism and questioning of your selection of 'Goodwill' in first race, you stood like a rock in not only choosing the winner but also the SHP. I have been reading your selections with a lot of interest for quite some time now. I also remember you getting frustrated very recently when your choices were failing for many days, and you even went to the extent of declaring that you are going to keep away from posting your selections for some time. Please don't do that and continue to post. People like me love your preferences so much Sir.
Rabi Roa said ...
20-Aug-2026Race professor from where you got odds that Balck diamond will be hot favourite... I hope very soon you will give the answer . Racing is not prediction it's reading the horse. How can anyone expect this horse to be on board ...Means handy does not matter or class ... Someone predicted handy high because he is class above but forgot GOODWILL was better classed horse he ran in derby .
Kamal Mukherjee said ...
20-Aug-2026Leaving Goodwill at 4/1 would have been big disastrous had I followed . Well done AK ... you proved horses run on merit and odds are nothing. Have guts and play don't be coward .
Godzilla said ...
20-Aug-2026Racebro
You are spot on. Congrats on first Race winner.
Pankaj Kumar said ...
20-Aug-2026Well done Ak what a riding 5/1 and predicting Good horse as lay does not makes you great this should be lesson for lay predictors.

RACE 1 : Hrs no 2 (*GOODWILL*) ignore his previous outing over sharp distance, now tried over his ideal distance, C&D winner in past, retains good form with positive jockey engagement on top, should run a forward race today.
RACE 2 : Hrs no 4 (*ADMIRINGLY*) 3yrs old colt, very honest galloper has won twice this distance, now making handicap debut, retains good form and same rider engaged on top, with no prominent rivals looks hard to beat today.
RACE 3 : Hrs no 1 (*HEART*) well bred fillie justified favouritism and won over C&D in same class, now again going in the same trip with penalty to face, worked well in his morning trials, try jockey on top now, if can defy the penalty can winning again today.
Hrs no 4 (*AABUSHAN*) with ace rider engagement on saddle and going in his ideal trip can spoil the party.
RACE 4 : Hrs no 4 (*CIELO*) well bred fast galloper, won over C&D in his previous outing to clear maiden tag, same jockey retained on top, will again go in a pillar to post today.
*STRONG FANCY*
RACE 5 : Hrs no 3 (*VICTORIA CROSS*) well bred 4yrs old colt ran good 2nd to Shine over 6 furlong last outing, now coming after a vacation and looks in good nick, tried in his ideal trip with try jockey engaged on top, looks all set to romp back home today.
*DAYS BEST*
RACE 6 : Hrs no 3 (*LAAMIKA*) ignore her last outing over 7 furlong as bleeded during race, now coming after a layoff and running in a 6 furlong trip, moving nicely in her morning trial, try jockey on top, if intend positive can romp back home today.

19-Aug-2026Race Bro
You are a very senior guy and you are in the knowledge of nitty gritty of Racing.
When you are required to pick up a winner, it's not the entire distance clocked should be taken into consideration (some times it depends on pace of the Race) but the last 200 Mtrs matter much. Do you agree ?

19-Aug-2026Alas! Nobody is discussing CASCADE in first race, which is a very serious contender based on its last runs over this distance, very very very serious contender.
In the last race Laamika should win.
Racebro said ...
19-Aug-2026Hi Godzy,
1 BLACK DIAMOND 2 GOODWILL 3 KSEPIMAN all three ran upto 2400m. The first two ran in class3 as well. Goodwill already had a run this season over 1400m + By Deauville + Akshay your AK47 in the saddle. Weight of 2.5Kg difference between the two and horses weight is 449Kg. Black Diamond beat Garth by 3/4L and Ksepiman beat Garth by 7L both over 2400m and timings of Ksepiman much better than Black Diamond. Thats why I prefered Goodwill to win and Ksepiman for SHP.
All the best!

19-Aug-2026Race 1 – 2000 mts
Top Pick: BLACK DIAMOND
Upset: SANAYA
Black Diamond holds the strongest credentials, but Sanaya has the ability to surprise if finding its rhythm.
Race 2 – 1600 mts
Top Pick: THIS IS GOLD
Upset: ADMIRINGLY
This Is Gold looks a reliable contender, while Admiringly’s winning streak makes it a dangerous challenger.
Race 3 – 1600 mts
Top Pick: HEART
Upset: TOGO
Heart arrives with winning form, but Togo can upset the calculations with a strong finish.
Race 4 – 1100 mts
Top Pick: SAIKO
Upset: CATHERINE
Saiko appears hard to beat on current form, though Catherine can add excitement to the finish.
Race 5 – 1100 mts
Top Pick: PANTAZI
Upset: VICTORIA CROSS
Pantazi has the class to dominate, but Victoria Cross looks capable of fighting for honours.
Race 6 – 1200 mts
Top Pick: ADEYA
Upset: DIAMOND GOLD / GODSEND DIVINE
Adeya gets the nod, but Diamond Gold and Godsend Divine carry enough class to create a surprise.
Happy punting
Godzilla said ...
19-Aug-20261. BLACK DIAMOND .. Perhaps I belong to Class I and thats the reason , handicapper chose to give me 62 kgs. Others in this set almost carry top handicap except the last named.. If Yash rides me like Suraj, I can win effortlessly from this bunch with plenty in saddle.
2. UPPER STREET .. I can win again. Dont under estimate my rider Tejeshwar.
3. AABUSHAN. Sandesh should help me to hammer this bunch. I have won in this Class already,
4. CEILO ,,I am the winner. Back me.
5. VICTORIA CROSS .. Should overcome the challenges emnating from my colleagues.
6. LAAMIKA .. For that kind of work I should win from ROSALIA on whom an apprentice in the saddle claiming 5 kgs allowance. I dont know the riding skills of this particular apprentice.
DAYS BEST; CEILO

19-Aug-2026*KOLKATA KA JAADU*
RACE 1.
*GOODWILL* *( Good Place bet if you get 60-65p )* Has a chance of winning if ( Sanaya fails in the last 200-300m ).
RACE 2.
*ADMIRINGLY*
( DAY BEST ) IF TREVOR AND STABLE ARE IN POSITIVE MODE THEN NO ONE CAN BEAT.
WITH A VERY POOR ODDS. MAX 50- 65p
RACE 3.
*TOGO*
He has 4 wins over this exact trip, making her the most successful 1600-meter horse in the entire lineup. Showed a spectacular final trial on August 14 over 1200m under rider Bunde, clocking 1:16s (1000m in 1:03s, 400m in 23s).
PLUS POINT IT HAS A CLEAN MEDICAL REPORT.
RACE 4.
VERY CRUCIAL RACE ON PEN AND PAPER IT LOOK'S LIKE SAIKO AND CIELO ARE THE ONE'S WHO IS DOMINATING THE FIELD. BUT HERE WHERE THE MASTER CLASS CLASSIC TRAINER VIJAY HAS GOT *SILVER DREAMS* THE HORSE WHO LOVES THIS DISTANCE BOARDING SHAH FARID ANSARI IS A MAJOR GAMBLE. I WILL TAKE A RISK AND WILL GO FOR A EACH WAY BET.
RACE 5.
*VICTORIA CROSS*
WILL CROSS ALL BORDER AND WIN THE RACE IN GREAT STYLE.
*( MY SECOND DAY BEST)*
RACE 6.
*ADEYA*
(THE DROP IN CLASS )
Her combination of sharp morning speed (800m in 55s) and proven high-class stamina. The problem she needs to overcome is a long lay of 5 month's almost. ( ADVICE IF YOU GET 60- 70p place the go for a each way bet.

BEST OF LUCK
