Setaglow for The Bugs Bunny Trophy

Funny race - The Bugs Bunny Trophy
This race is a Terms race for 3 year old "winners and non-winners". Saddest part is there is not a single winner in this race, not even a placed horse, forget placed horse, there is only single horse AAFRIKAAN got a race run before this race. In other words we are having a MAIDENS race. Still they carry the penalties of 5.5 kgs each because of the terms attached to this race: "If the highest weight an acceptor has to carry is less than 57 Kgs. it shall be raised to 57 Kgs, and the other weights shall be raised equally", Gentlemen all horses are carrying 5.5 Kg extra.
I have shortlisted 4 horses as contenders, as per the track work. AAFRIKAAN, LOFTY THOUGHTS, STARRY WIND and SETAGLOW. Surprise element is all these quadruplets clocked 35 seconds in their respective final spurt (all gate practices 1200/600m). First three horses mentioned above are from Byramjis stable (Father-son duo). The last won is from Vijay Mallya stable trained by A. Mangalorker and ridden by retained jockey. The most important element attached this race is BIG BUNNY which won the 1992 Indian Invitation Cup, trained by RR Byramji, ridden by Pesi Shroff, and owned by Dr.Vijay Mallya.

So guys, this race is in the memory of one successful horse in Indian History owned by Dr.Mallya and his Multidimensional filly SETAGLOW is being saddled by A.Mangalorkar and ridden by retained jockey P.Trevor. Whereas the Bugs Bunny trainer R.R.Byramji is saddling AAFRIKAAN and his son Darius is saddling two - LOFTY THOUGHTS (YS Srinath) and STARRY WIND (Imran Chisty). Father-Duo pitted three horses (JOR LEGA KE) against Dr.Mallya's horse, now you tell us your preference in this race?

My final choice: SETAGLOW-Win (Clear Winner)
Your opinions please !

Why BTC Declares Race Card 2-3 days before the race?

So the coming weekends are reserved for BTC Summer meetings, and the 1 st and 2 nd day of Racing will be held on 13 th and 14 th May and all racing enthusiasts eagerly waiting for this will be happy to know this year Owners, Trainers, Syces, Jockeys or the Nature are not  testing your patience.  A prompt start is a certainty this year. Normally races are held in India Next Day after declarations are out.   However, the BTC has this week decided to declare the jockeys on 11 th May  for the Week End races to be held on 13 th and 14 th May, i.e.  two to three days earlier.  Contrary to the usual practice, what prompted them to do this hasty declaration is not known.  For handicapping students it may be a welcome move as they will get sufficient time to study the card. But I doubt despite having more than enough time, if any one will be able to spot the winner accurately in most of the races. Reasons being, in between these two three days gap anything can happen with the h

But we never know the present health condition of a horse unless you see it during paddock parade. NEGATIVE SIDE: CR’S LAST RUN WAN ON 26.01.2017. BUT CR WAS GIVEN INTRA ARTICULAR INJECTION ON 18-02-2017. IAI was given for lameness during Winter and CR has not run a race after 26 th January. It means it got lame during track trials only. “Lameness, Pain referable to JOINTS, remain the important source of reduced performance in horses. Intra Articular Injections remain a common and important means of addressing lameness referable to joints in horses”. ADVISE:
