Beautiful Stranger wins The Poonawalla Breeders' Multi - Million

A Large crowd had turned up to witness the running of The Poonawalla Breeders' Multi - Million & it was Beautiful Stranger (Glory Of Dancer - Double Wish) won this event from Ocean And Beyond by 3/4 of a length in a smart timing of 1.23.89 secs. Sun Elegance finished a good 3rd followed by Macchupicchu in 4th.

Beautiful Stranger is trained by S. S. Shah & was brilliantly piloted by jockey S. A. Desousa. It was owned by Mr. & Mrs. Farrouq Rattonsey and Mr. Zaheer F. Rattonsey rep. Hyperion Bloodstock Pvt. Ltd. & Mr. J. K. Rattonsey.

Beautiful Stranger is full brother to the last years Super Mile winner Dancing Dynamite.

Before this run, Beautiful Stranger had ran only once & had finished a close 2nd to Beyond Star in a 1200 metres race i.e. he was a maiden & was competing with horses who had won races. For a Maiden Horse winning such a prestigious race one can only say "HATS OF TO YOU MR. S. S. SHAH".

Congratulations once again to all the people who made it possible for Beautiful Stranger to win this event.

The Poonawalla Breeders' Multi-Million (Grade 1)

The Poonawalla Breeders' Multi Million (Grade 1) is a race that every 3 year old wants to win. The Prestige of this race has increased over the past few years by leaps & bounds (Thanks to the Breeders Lobby). This year it seems that Mr. Rakesh Kumar Wadhawan rep. Wadhawan Lifestock Pvt. Ltd. is the prime contender to win this race as his 2 horses Ocean And Beyond (trained by S.K.Sunderji with R.Hughes astride) & Star Future (trained by Adil Dajee with Imran Chisty astride) are in top form. Ocean And Beyond's last victory in the Kunigal Stud Breeders' Produce Stakes (Grade 3) was absolutely scintillating & with Richard Hughes astride, can win the race & complete the hatrick of wins. Similarly Star Future's last victory in The Hello Millions was a start to finish affair where he left his rivals stunned & stopped the clock in a smart timing of 1:23:64 secs. If Star Future decides to put his best foot forward, then he can make them all run. The Dark Horse in this race is from Dr. M.A.M. Ramaswamy's camp Ordained One (trained by S.Ganpathy with B. Prakash astride) who won his first outing in Mumbai quite easily but ran a disappointing 6th in his last run behind Ocean And Beyond. He has worked well & can upset the apple cart of both the Wadhawan runners. One cannot rule out the Champion Trainer Pesi Shroff who has two runners viz., Batista (C. Rajendra astride) & Macchupicchu (K. Fallon astride) & with his luck going on quite well this season, how knows he just might get lucky even today.

So witness the running of the Poonawalla Breeders' Multi Million at 5:00pm at Mahalaxmi Race Course on Sunday 28th Feb. 2010.

A special appreciation & gratitude goes to Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla, Mr. Zavaray Poonawalla & the entire Poonawalla Family for their Magnanimous Contribution.

Mockery at RWITC

Mumtaz who ran off the board in her last 4 attempts suddenly improved & won. Mumtaz had just one good work behind her. IS THIS ENOUGH TO WIN A RACE ????? Knowledgable punters saw with their naked eyes that there was no effort shown by the inform horses like Admiral's Quest, Prince Of Troy, Gerrad, Towering High & Above All. This result showed that the race was totally made up on Mumtaz. The Morning Odds on Mumtaz was 6/1 & at the time of the race the Opening Odds was 7/2 which went on decreasing & the closing Odds was 2/1.
IS THIS CLEAN & FAIR RACING ???? Isn't there a way to stop such type of made up races.

Please do post in your comments.
