Is it Bourbon King??

Is Bourbon King the Best horse in India?. This question is being frequently answered in affirmative by most experienced punters in race courses around the country. The bay Indian gelding is invincible in all its outing wining prestigious Derby, 2000 Guineas (the snap taken after wining 2000Guineas at Mumbai the other day) and so on. This Ganapathy trained, Ramaswamy owned nimble feet is a sight to watch, it is almost flying. Stop betting and sit down and watch, this one is value for money and time!!. Another brilliant Indian Horse that had tremendous success in Dubai Race is Mystical (below photo of Mystical after winning Dubai International. Mystical is a Ramaswamy-Poonawalla owned gelding). Many punters hold that Bourbon King has to go a long way atleast as a distance runner, the staying power is being questioned, Dubai run has shown Mystical to be immensely superior horse (Australian races though are tougher, recently a Japanese horse created history)

I also try to catch up with equestrian events around the world through TenSport channel, Dubai race opening ceremony live telecast few months back was brilliant. Placement of camera in these races (as also races in Britain) are brilliant, race courses in India could learn lot from these they now work with four or five camera in archaic style. The race sometime looses the punch and excitement due to unimaginative handling, they could use remote cameras. This blogger also suggests much severe punishment for excessive whipping. Water logging during rains is another issue, I came across a site the other where they discussed new technology to reduce this problem. I have visited race courses at Mumbai (Mahalaxmi race course is quite big), Kolkota, Pune, Delhi (it is quite dirty. Shocking considering that it has one of the best known addresses includes PM!!), and yes Bangalore. But Mysore race course i consider best in India, its an incredible sight next to Chamundi hills (snaps taken by the blogger few months back, isn't it a incredible setting?). Punters at lower end in race course spit a lot, loosing money gives them another reason, it is terrible sight sometimes. Race course though actively promote smoking, wonder why they don’t get huge sponsoring from cigarette giants, atleast as token of appreciation!!
