Hello guys
Welcome to Kolkatta racing day , a card of seven races framed for the day ,
THE TANGIERS CUP For Horses 4 years old and over to be run over 7F is the
feature race of the day , four horses have been accepted to compete in , Saturday being
a major event day coming up smaller stable may try to get some stake ,
My probable contenders ---
RACE NO 1 -- THE ESPOIR PLATE
( should have been named as THE SANS ESPOIR PLATE )
A Handicap for Maiden Horses 3 years old only, Rated 21-46, Rated 1-26 eligible ,
five maiden runners to compete in for the stake to be run over 1100 mts ,
SOLITARY EAGLE ( 80/100 ) should start as a fav in here , ran second two times in last season , both winners of the race are now running in class iii , rider retained for the job , is on track
SO REGAL ( 2.75 ) ran approx 11 lts behind the above named horse when they met in race no 267 last season , will take lot of effort and improvement to cover , looks difficult , is on track , jockey retained
WONDER LIKE YOU is a no hoper in this field ,
CARAGH ran in a class v race , gate practice noticed , jockey factor should be considered
LAND OF GLORY ( 3.5 ) was slow to begin and also jockey ASGHAR was reprimanded to allow his mount run an erratic course , tracked good , has ran in good company , since it is a race for maiden horses i would recommend a three way bet on this horse
RACE NO 2 --- THE NIGHT JAR CUP
( what are they trying to fill in the JAR ? that too in NIGHT !!! )
Class IV; A Handicap for Horses Rated 21-46, Rated 01-26 eligible ,
five runners accepted to run in for the stake money to be run over six furlong
GORGEOUS ( 1.5 ) is running pretty consistent races , no track work , ran recently close second to too good PRIMROSE , facing some good horses here , horse is losing distance with each run , i prefer to ignore such horses ,Trainers record on fav needs to be looked at
HAYATA ( 12/10) last run was bad in the hands of same jockey , may be was less interested as winner was too good ? but still should have tried to run up close , tracked once
PASSIONATE ( 3.5 ) - winner of last race ran recently , now running for 100 mts more , jockey changed , Trainer placed two runners in here , this one got best chance to upset
BET --- PASSIONATE
RACE NO 3 --- THE FLY HIGH HANDICAP

Class III; A Handicap for Horses Rated 41-66, Rated 21-46 Eligible
six runners have been accepted to run in for the stake to be run over 1800 mts
MISTER POSITIVE ( 3.75) is a controversial horse , has changed stable many times , distance is not a problem for the horse ,
SELF DIRECTED ( 4.5) last was too backward , jockey changed , tracked once , looks difficult to bounce back in such a short time , jockey changed , SHAILESH has placed this two times ,
ALMARADA ( 16/10) winner of back to back two races , the further she goes the better she goes , tracked with same jockey who is riding today
