The Queen Filly Jacqueline has created a world record by winning all the 4 Classics of the season. She has proven herself in each & every run that she has the Class, Potential, Temperament & Blistering turn of foot to emerge as a winner. The dark bay colt Becket almost got Jacqueline in the Indian Derby but the final verdict was in favour of Jacqueline. Today both the horses have got a good one month break before they meet again.
Jacqueline has peaked at the right time & all the credit goes to Trainer Pesi Shroff who has worked so hard with her with a clear & definite game plan & so far his decisions have been correct. To me, Jacqueline is the horse to beat & Becket who has recently tracked very well will have to produce something special to beat her.
One thing that still is a mystery is that Becket was piloted by Jockey Martin Dwyer in the Indian Derby then why is he not entrusted to the task today ? Why is Jockey Suraj Narredu being given a ride on Becket in this most prestigious event of the Racing Season ? There is no doubt in my mind that Martin Dwyer is a much experienced Jockey as compared to Suraj Narredu & can extract that extra bit from Becket when it comes to a tight finish.
Richard Hughes (onboard Jacqueline) will be quite confident after his win over Becket at the Indian Derby & with Martin Dwyer not aboard Becket this time, he will certainly breathe a little bit easy.
So will Becket turn on the tables on Jacqueline this time or will Jacqueline create another record by winning the Invitation Cup. So go to the Mahalakshmi Race Course to witness the race, cause if YOU NEVER GO, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW.
