FINOO bets (PUNE, Saturday, Aug 15)


On this Independence day I wish my beloved country freedom. Freedom from inept leaders, corrupt politicians and insane religious fanatics.
-------

FINOO bets for PUNE (Saturday, August 15):

Up North (1-5)* (No announcement yet about change of jockey at 1:45 pm, so, apparently, Aadesh Kumar will be riding, therefore UP NORTH will not be a FINOO bet today, although, as a FINOO horse, we wish good luck to the horse and the jockey.)

Flying Spirit (3-1)
Update: Lost, finished 3rd to Royal Bella (2-1/2 L behind).

Ikaria (4-12)
Update: Lost, finished 2nd to Beyond Belief (1-1/2 L behind).

Real Dream (8-3)
Update: Lost, finished 2nd to Fish Pilot (1/2 L behind).

*(Please note jockey Aadesh Kumar has had a fall today at Mysore, so I will take a fresh call on this horse tomrorow after change of jockey is declared. But in case you cannot visit this blog, just remember that for any jockey as good or better than Aadesh Kumar, this horse becomes a bet. I hope the authorities do not play dumb like last time when they had allowed Shailesh Shinde for Y S Srinath on Moon Flower. However, if Aadesh is unhurt and fit, and fulfils his riding engagement, then Up North is NOT a bet, because any jockey who has had a fall, we don't bet his mounts unless he rides at least one winner.)

  1. Dear Shri Prakash,

    I do like two bets of yours, UP NORTH & REAL DREAM.

    I have my doubts on the other two.

    Lets hope for the best and hope that you get 4 out of 4.

    All the very best

  3. pune races are as scheduled.

    PARTY for the guests and a silly contest is postponed. That is the news.

    rwitc site says ,


    The Paranjape Royal Ascot Challenge Postponed.

    The Paranjape Royal Ascot Challenge, to be held on Sunday, is being postponed to a later date in the season. In view of the uncertain health situation prevalent in Pune, the sponsors have cancelled the race day party for their guests and the expected attendance is also expected to low. In view of these circumstances, Paranjape Schemes, in consultation with the RWITC, have decided to postpone the innovative Royal Ascot Challenge to a later date, which will be separately intimated.

  6. Dear Mr. Anonymous,
    Please let us know why do you visit the blog and analyze the selections. No one has asked you to analyze the same also... My humble request to you is please refrain yourself against making such baseless comments.....

  7. Mr Prakash......Please pardon me... This is the first time that FINOO has tipped 4 horses, I am unsurprised......Is it a case of "desperate diseases must have desperate remedies."?

  8. Swamybabu,
    This is a rare case of FINOO throwing up 4 bets on a card. Not that there were never four FINOO list horses on a day's card. There were, but at least one or two of them would peter out for not qualifying for filter rules. This is happening for the first time that all four qualify all the filters. Frankly, even I am a bit surprised. Now whether any of them halts the FINOO losing streak or they all add up as losers to take the tally to 12 in a row needs to be seen.

    Aswin Patel & Chakravyuhabhedak,
    It's a personal call taken by the sponsor, and I think it is justified. After all, a sponsor has certain plans in place to invite and entertain his guests on the day, and if he does not feel comfortable about it due to the Swine Flu scare, that's his call. However, the club must ensure that this remains a one-off case, and does not set a precedent. After all, we all know racing professionals tune their horses for a particular event, and in the end, it is not fair on them.

    Shankar,
    Yes, Hyderabad FINOO bets will be uploaded by 10 am in the morning.

    Anonymous,
    In what way a blogger is putting a hand into your pocket? You are welcome to visit my blog, but please don't abuse that freedom. I have patience only in betting, not in putting up with trouble makers like you. Be warned.

    Ashish,
    Just keep your cool. I can handle such people well. I am not a fool to invite unmoderated comments.

    Jawnsin,
    Pl check my response above to Swamybabu.

  9. Gosavi your logic Up North no bet if Aadesh is fit and riding is strange. I think you must explain. It doesn't make sense. Should up north be bet only if there is change of jockey? Why? I think Aadesh kmr has good form in Pune, so why not?

  10. Dear PMK,

    For a jockey, a fall is an extremely scary experience that shatters his confidence. Most jockeys (even if they escape unhurt) cannot quickly get over that momentary brush with the dark side of life when everything seemed to be at fate's mercy for a moment. Most of them are shaken to their very core. Physical bruises may heal faster, but to overcome the mental image of that "powerless" moment takes time as it comes to repeatedly haunt them every time they are loaded in the gates.

    To my mind, it's very difficult for the punter to gauge when to start following the jockey again. My simple rule of thumb is this: Stay away from his mounts until he rides a winner!

    However, if a fall jockey rides a double on a single card (at least one of them in a close finish), I generally upgrade him back to his old form. And if it is a back-to-back double, I take it as a sure sign that the scars (mental) are now completely healed.

  11. It looks like KN Dhunjibhoy will pocket at least one prestigious race on Saturday, but which one? Will it be with Ikaria or with Thanda? KND-M Narredu combo have pulled off many coups in the past. I am sure you will agree, Prakash, that this duo does not come in category of 'saints'. Of course, FINOO must go by merit. However, punters may be well-advised to watch out for machinations.
    On the subject of losing streak, I am sure that your well-researched and time-tested FINOO system will not reach the mark of 12. At least 2 winners are sure to weigh in today. Good luck to you and good luck to us the followers of FINOO!

  12. Mr Ashish,
    someone could be looking for laying tips, isnt he entitled to visit the blogs ?.
    Mr Gosavi please make it clear if your horse is on the finoo list or not if and buts could lead to confusion, if upnorth wins you say it was on if it loses you can say it was struck out so please keep it or scratch it.
    thanks

  13. Justification,

    When I have already said:
    "...so I will take a fresh call on this horse tomrorow after change of jockey is declared.", where is the question of double talking on the issue?

    From day 1, this trial has been as transparent as air on a sunny day, so no man in his right mind can accuse me at least for confusing or obfuscating the issue.

    Another thing Mr Justification. I know who you are and why you are doing this. It is a topic of a good revealing article about you, your aliases, and a cloned team of non-existent alter egos which be sure I will someday write about when I am in mood to swat flies.

    Until then, as long as you use civil language on this blog and don't bore me or my readers too much, enjoy visiting this blog which is everyday creating new records of popularity in Indian racing web world, and which, incidentally, is your main cause of concern.

    I will let you in on a secret about me. I just thrive on jealousy!

  14. Well said Gosavi. All know abt this guy for his abusive language & arrogance.Ignore him for the moment but pl go after him when you are in a mood to "swat flies". good one. I liked it.

  15. Dear,
    With due respect to your selection, I suspect "Flying Spirit" is more likely to fail than succeed. I Strongly feel that it fails in one crucial test I normally apply. No horse which was tried in last run at odds above 10/1, would never be tried in the next outing at odds on.The excuse from the connections here is likely to be that the horse does not carry top Wt....The race may be gift to "Gift Of Grace" obvious connection is TRAINER S S SHAH.

  16. Dear Prakash ji I feel that you are right to point out that why someone is again and again pointing out about the fino particularity when you have explain about the Aadesh kumar fall out are they want your blog to be the same like others who says i will quit from bloging and again come up with different name.

  17. You are bound to encounter kvetches and yammers when you run a blog of this nature.....more so if its left untempered.
