Thanks for reminding older days sir I was a new comer to racing it's was my first experience to watch derby Ascol Prince was favourite and native chieftan was 100/10  odds 1994/1995 indian derby  c Krishnan start to finish going away make history in upset 

I am a punter since 1973 & am from mysore.i would like to share a few points.Saiko beat Admiringly in her second start.she was tracking well.Trainers try their horses in big events. About Buddy , it finished strongly from 6th position in colts stakes.Gurfunkle finished second in that race.people fancied Suraj because he is a champion jockey.people most times fancy horses on odds.There is a saying Don't look at odds fancy according to your  merit.Thanks for this opportunity  to share my views 

That's very true, should focus on only class races

Term races are very dangerous 

I m also in a state of shock that this animal won by 2 lengths a second less than the record timings.

But FYI... This not the first Hyd Derby that a outsider has won at this crazy odds. To name a few.

Consigliori - 50/1

Royal Crystal - 13/1

Arkadian - 50/1

The list may just keep adding 

In a crowded field many might not get a clear passage even though there were better horses. Only if Akshay had done justice to Madante his mount would have been retained and would not have ended up riding the last comer of the race.

Obviously none of the horses seen in both the derbies are stayers. Amore mio was not a stayer nor is the dam and sire of buddy. Buddy won on tactics taken to the front at a moderate pace just did enough to stay in front till the end. Look elsewhere for a proper stayer for the Indian derby. The picture will be more clearer after the pune derby this weekend. 

Bos it's clear when HRC announced so much big prize money for winner it wil be Doosra for punters

So very put into words fishing ji...U seem to be an high student of this game...

I remember Man of the match trained by Rafaat hussain & ridden by J H Christopher winning the Deccan derby..the odds were 60/1..

Racing is fundamentally an entertainment business funded by punters who pay for the thrill, not a realistic path to making a living.

it's expensive, often corrupt, cruel to horses, addictive, and most punters lose. So it's not even good entertainment.

GARFANKLE and BUDDY have run together in all the three of their previous runs , very nearer to each other, so I thought GARFANKLE is superior to BUDDY and played GARFANKLE win and thought BUDDY can follow and played place at 8 to 1

GARFANKLE disappointed me but I recovered loss from place odds of BUDDY
