PBMM 2025

Hats off to a great jockey Suraj narredu for winning The PBMM 3 times in 3 consecutive years. Congratulations 

Prokofiev is fancied to win the PBMM the feature event of Sunday Mumbai races,

Evening race, card is framed with 7 races of which The Poonawala breeders multi million gr-1 race the feature event of the day, 16 horse field (the costliest race in the country with huge stake money)

1 race:3 horse field nothing much to explain. 1.Bashir never won a mile race in its 5 career starts, hence ignored for win here. 2.Prides prince &  3.Chagall are more or less equally matched on timing over a mile, but former is penalized on its last run, bit difficult to win. Later looks better to win here.

My choice:2.Prides prince-win

2 race:5 horse field, shroff trained 2.Gordon is only 4y old looking good on time over 10f race comparatively, hence preferred for win here.

My choice:2. Gordon -win

3 race:3y old maidens race, 13 horse field, tough to pick the winner here, I personally prefer an each way chance on 3.Eastern monarch based on its last run and latest impressive tracks. 

3,5,6 & 11 have had run benefit in the field of 13 horses. 6.Its my time was beaten by              3. Eastern monarch half brother to Ashwa kutang,  ran good 2nd in its last run, impressive on tracks, should run well this time out. 11.Hazel is an average bred.5.Giocomo(Leitirmore/River dance, half brother to Ready player one is a good sprinter) had run in two successive million races as 6th & 5th to good horses, the latest run 6th behind Big bay(who is one of the frontline contenders in PBMM today) moving nicely on tracks. On timing Giocomo is Looking good but a negative is outer draw in a field of 13 runners, also another negative is jackpot first leg. Yet preferred for win.

My choice:5. Giocomo -win

4 race: feature event of the day, 16 horse in the field, very difficult to pick the clear winner 7.Prokofiev, 9. Sovereign king,4.Gun smoke must be the prime contenders., first named having the edge to win the feature event of the day 

My choice:7. Prokofiev-win 

5 race:A fight is expected between 1.Timeless vision & 2.Fontana. Former has won three times in 6 career starts and reached very fastly to class 2.  2.Fontana won the race a year back, performing well in this season, pleasing on tracks, on promotion, will not go down with out a fight.

My choice:1.Timeless vision -win

6 race:1. Credence whose last run behind Turn and burn may be ignored, earlier won the race(beaten knight crusader ,who is the frontline contenders in hyderabad races) now on demotion, working fluently on latest tracks, with the same apprentice jockey siddarth, start to finish attempt can win the race.

My choice:1. Credence -win

7 race:class b race, 5.Remy red is only the winner in this 7 horse field. Is looking good in this poor lot of 7 horses to win. 4. Continental drift, 6.You,             7. Yuletide may all try to fight out for minor placings.

My choice:5.Remy red -win

Roll the following 

(1-2):Prides prince-win

(2-2)Gordon -win

(3-5)Giocomo-win

(4-7) Prokofiev -win

(5-1) Timeless vision-win

(6-1)Credence-win

Cherie Chevalier to win the Nari reddy memorial million the feature event of the sunday Hyderabad

(Card looks to be very tough as such picking up a clear winner is Hazardous. Be cautious while betting on fav.)

1 race:3y old maiden race, non of the horses are in form on their previous performance. Looking at track and considering the blood lines, 2,3,5,7,8 are somewhat better. One to be chosen among these. I personally prefer an each way chance on 2.Philadendron. Senti full sister to In proposito, ran behind racing ruler, tracking good has a chance to upset here.

My choice:2. Philadendron -e/w, Senti-place

2 race:3y old maiden race. Same as first race. I personally prefer an each way chance on 5.Kona seema

My choice:5. Konaseema -e/w

3 race:On previous performance 2,3,4,5 can be considered for frontline. 2. Romantic grey won twice after coming from Pune, now carrying weight, 3. Mix the magic carrying weight to its last run, 5. Knotty senorita won the race last time in lower class, on promotion, bit difficult to repeat as it is competitive field, I personally prefer 4.Born brave to win on consistency and latest tracks 

My choice:4.Born brave -win

4 race:Very difficult to pick the winner from this lot as non of them are in form, though long in tooth coming from higher class  1.Miss marvelous may be considered for an each way

My choice:1. Miss marvelous -e/w

5 race:A straight fight between 7.Sun dancer & 8. Amperes touch former having the edge to win the race here.10.Quality warrior can place.

My choice:7.Sun dancer-e/w

6 race:1,2,& 5 must be the frontline contenders which are closely matched. 5. Exclusive black won the race at higher odds another chance may not be given, good at latest tracks, a place for sure. 1. Calistoga, & 2. Knight crusader both have failed as fav, later performing well after coming from Pune, former is also very consistent performer, dicey between two. I personally prefer to win later on timing.

My choice:2.Knight crusader -win

7 race:3y olds terms race, not rated yet, many of them are good on their previous performance. 1.Miss smiley angel is an unknown bred, twice won in 3 career starts, in form, will certainly try for supremacy. 3.Racing ruler ran behind Cherie Chevalier in the same race, tracking good, with change of jockey will be in fighting line, a place for sure. Though non winner, I personally prefer to take a chance on 2.Cherie Chevalier (bred from Waikiki) on consistency of all  its 4 career runs with a fantastic victory over same 6f trip, subsequently very good 2nd in two consecutive graded races, obviously a superior to the former and should bag this Nari reddy memorial million today with an ease.

My choice:2.Cherie Chevalier -win(best of the day),3.Racing ruler -place 

8 race:1. Nkalazinzi & 9.Blue pantheress are looking good in the field, former is a winner last time, penalized on its run. Comparatively later is good on handicap and latest tracks. 

My choice:9.Blue pantheress-e/w

Ice of fire for the Bangalore juvenile million the feature event of the day on sauterday Bangalore

Season is coming to end. Be cautious while betting on fav 

1 race:

1. Elveden(40)

3.Peridot(36)

4.Lady Invictus(34)

5.Anchorage (32)

My choice: 1.Elveden-win

(1. Elveden easy 5 lengths winner of the race last time over 6f in lower class, can repeat the show again even in this higher class.)

My choice:1. Elveden-win 

2 race:

1.King of war(50)

3.Sekhmet(47)

2.Golden time(45)

5. Southern force(40)

My choice:1.King of war-e/w

(1.King of war & 2.Golden time are on demotion. 2.Sekhmet won the race last time in better time,  in form, but penalized to its last run, win may be difficult, but surely figure on board.,1. King of war, who is running on demotion may be tried with jockey Akshay in the saddle, is preferred for win, an each way suggested)

My choice:1.King of war- e/w

3 race:

1. Prophecy(52)

11.Legendary impact(45)

10.Carter(40)

3.Martha(40)

Win field is a first timer, unknown bred difficult to predict, Carter & Legendary impact are non winners, also later with Akshay in the saddle was beaten by Elveden by 5 lengths, who is now running today in 1st race, ignored for win. Prophecy is a winner of 1100mtrs earlier over Cross water, subsequently failed to oblige as fav last time over 6f, should run well this time out)

My choice:1. Prophecy -win

4 race:2. Devilliers is in form, an outstanding bet of the day

(weight may not be a stopper, as it won the race on earlier occasion carrying this 60kg weight over a mile trip.Vivaldo never won over a mile in its 16 career starts, first time running over a mile, hence ignored for win)

My choice:2. Devilliers -win

5 race:4.Ice of fire(prasanna kumar trained)is in rousing form should topple the rest of the field.(Well bred Quebec stable mate has a chance to gamble)

My choice:4.Ice of fire-win

6 race:class b race, 

(5.Raffles & 4.Meghann both are on demotion former with the saddle support from jockey Trever obviously has an edge. With slightly better rated Meghann with good saddle support from apprentice jockey may not go down with out a fight.)

My choice:5. Raffles -win

7 race:More than 5 to 6 horses are in contention, I am expecting 2.Eclipse pulse, 3.Yannick & 8.Count basie to fight out second named having the edge to win, an each way is suggested. Anzac parade may find a place)

My choice:3.Yannick-e/w

Good treble 

(3-1) Prophecy, (4-2) Devilliers,(5-4)Ice of fire

(7-3)Yannick-up set of the day
