Some Stray Thoughts and Some Opinions...
Some Stray thoughts and Some Opinions…
Every year I usually used to write , normally during Bangalore summer season, my opinion and observations about 3 year old runners who may shine and do well in winter classics. Southern Empire, Set Alight, Jacqueline and many other thoroughbred(TB) were analysed from pedigree and performance angle. This year I’ve not been able to decipher any strong trait or quality in any 3 yo who could be bracketed with abovementioned worthies. Moreover, as a rule, almost all the favorites of semi-classics during winter and Bangalore summer meeting are being beaten by non-favorites or by second or third favorites.
Let us have a cursory look at some prominent 3 year olds.
Poona walla multimillion was won by Picasso beating favorite Amedeus and he lost badly to Super Duper who was certainly not a better performer than him. Lovely Kiss beat hot favorite Black Magic Woman in Bangalore Fillies Trial Stakes and Pronto Pronto sealed the fate of another favorite in Bangalore Colts Trial Stakes. Later on same Pronto Pronto won narrowly Bangalore summer Derby beating another favorite- Lovely Kiss.
Lovely Kiss lost another semi-classic to Southern Bay at Mysore recently and now four Monsoon Derbies at Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune and Mysore will be run during October which do not bring out any outstanding runner – although by default Pronto Pronto selects himself as a better 3 year old than many other – because he has not run any race after winning Bangalore summer Derby.
This makes me think that winter classics will be much more competitive and interesting than they were during recent past…
