The race to the Derby begins with RR Ruia Gold Cup

The build up to the Indian Derby begins with RR Ruia Gold Cup. The favourite is Sergeant At Arms. He was rejected by trainer Pesi Shroff at birth. He has since won the race again and again. It is racing folklore that he was ugly and unattractive at the birth but he has overcome this. There are 10 runners for this race at handicap stage. They will be running on the afternoon of the 15th of January. On Derby Day, the big race takes place. This year, it will take place on Sunday. Ice Breaker will run Bangalore Oaks. Mathaiyus will race General Obaidullah Khan Trophy on Thursday.

The Rajpipla Trophy for horses in class 1 is not held due to a lack of runners. The General Obaidullah Khan Trophy is won by Mathaiyus. There is a General Ruia Gold Cup with Palatial and Vulcan. Snowy Peaks is an interesting runner in the 6:20 race. Good jockey declarations on Pass The Glory and Pretty Angel should help him get odds and punters winning cash. Tegbir Brar owns Hall Of Famer, who won the Calcutta Derby run last Sunday.
