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.)

FINOO (Follow-In-Next-Outing-Only) bet

for Saturday (Aug 1) PUNE races:

Carmen (2-3)

Ponyta (7-6) [Added at 8.25 pm]

(Please note that I had missed this horse as it was in a hidden row in my file. The mare may not be fancied at all, but that does not make any difference to my FINOO tipping. Because for a FINOO horse, we ignore everything from rivals to odds to stable intentions. Ponyta, on her own strength, definitely qualifies as a FINOO bet tomorrow.)

Good luck.

So no horses to lay against today.

Have you checked out FINOO Exp & Boookies' Delights for Saturday, July 4?

Note: It seems there are far too many followers of the FINOO original than of FINOO - Phase II, for obvious reasons. Although I have time and again explained that FINOO (Win Only) bets of Phase II are the same as FINOO original (or phase I), looks like they simply hate to see their favourite FINOO being clubbed with the three more experimental categories (PLACE only, Win & Place, and SHP & Place).

While I can understand their irriation, personally I think it is wrong to halt the experiment which has started just two weeks ago just because the expermental categories are showing losses at present unlike the original type of bets which have always shown profit. But to avoid confusion, I have decided to now publish, for EVERY race card, three editions of FINOO recommendations as follows:

i) FINOO original (same as FINOO - phase I, will be published soon after the jockeys are declared); this will be denoted as "FINOO bets". The tentative time of upload will be before 2 pm on the day BEFORE the races.

ii) FINOO experimental (the three new experimental cagegories talked above - will be published after FINOO original but before the night odds are out); this will be denoted as "FINOO Exp" to indicate the Phase II experiment. The tentative time of upload will be before 6 pm on the day BEFORE the races.

iii) FINOO Bookies' Delight (to be published after the night odds are out); will be simply listed as "Bookies' Delights". The tentative time of upload will be before 8 am ON THE MORNING of the races.

Saturday (June 27) races

Walter did falter: Walter (leading, in green shirt) seen here, would have commanded as a solid bet from the FINOO perspective, if only ...... (read below) [Pic source: BTC video]

FINOO Bet for Bangalore Saturday (June 27) card:

Saturday seems to be the day when the only horse on the FINOO list unfortunately peters out as NO BET due to the new qualfier rules.

The horse is Walter, trained by B Puttanna and to be ridden by C Krishnan, running in the first race of the day.

Walter has got onto the FINOO list by taking the most dependable route (pattern) when he finished a half-length second to Act Of Duty in race# 63. However, for this pattern to command as a bet, the jockey riding the horse has not only to be either same or better, but also has to have current winning form--unfortunately, Krishnan's last win (astride Immortal) was 29 mounts away. And this could mean a big negative factor for Walter.

There have been four cases since November 22 last year (on the Bangalore track) which have gone through the same pattern as Walter--getting on the FINOO list through the same route and ridden by a jockey who did not have current winning form--and interestingly, none of them has won (two finished 3rd, one 4th and one off the board).

If Walter wins tomorrow, he will be the first horse from this pattern to emerge victoriouos.

Can he do it? We will have to wait and watch.

In the meanwhile, FINOO followers will have to sit out the day as a NO-BET day.

Saturday (June 13) races

Einstein (right) from an old file photo was the only saving grace for FINOO just because it was withdrawn. FINOO bets bit the dust one after another in what was the worst day since this blog began. [Pic: RacingPulse.In]

Davenport (4-1)
