In full transparency

Missed opportunity

Good handicapping is not a guarantee of profit if you fail at the last hurdle. Here is my own failing.

In my audio clip for Race 4 on the Pune card of Thursday, 5 November 2026, I picked out Staria. Focus on what I said at 4:16 in the clip: I know exactly how she should look in the paddock, so if I choose to play, she will deliver.

But a medical emergency involving someone close to me kept me in Mumbai that day, and I could not travel to Pune. I had to depend on the live paddock camera at Pune, and it never showed the jockey mounting Staria. For me, that moment is essential to judge a horse's readiness. Without it, I could not make the final decision, and I missed Staria at 7/1.

After all, I am also human. — Prakash Gosavi

Why I missed it: a medical emergency kept me in Mumbai, and I could not travel to Pune. So I could not see Staria in the paddock, and the paddock camera never showed her jockey mounting. Without it, I could not make the final decision, and I missed her at 7/1.

Rampage for General Rajendrasinhji Million

By Prakash Gosavi · First race at 2.00 pm

The Pune racecourse.

PUNE: For mid-week racing, the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) Ltd has framed a seven-race card, and the General Rajendrasinhji Million is slated as the prime event. Of the seven in the fray, Rampage, Miami Vice, Noraiah and Victory Flair have all run good races this season, so this quartet is likely to throw up the eventual winner.

But I feel it would be the Shazaan Shah-trained Rampage, because he enjoys a rather decisive edge on the Dynamic Class Factor, based on his solitary run on this track behind Jaandaar who later went on to win the Villoo C Poonawalla Pune Derby (Gr 1).

Selections
1	Northern Command Plate For 4y&o, Class V; 1600m	Royal Champ 1, Madison 2, Okinayume 3.
2	Amber Royal Plate Class II; 1400m	Giacomo 1, Bishop 2, Earth 3.
3	Delhi Race Club Trophy Class I; 1200m	Credence 1, Market King 2, Scaramouche 3.
4	To The Manor Born Plate Class III; 1000m	Dreams Come True 1, Staria 2, Neptune 3.
5	General Rajendrasinhji Million For 3y; 1600m	Rampage 1, Miami Vice 2, Victory Flair 3.
6	Red Dragon Plate For 4y&o, Class V; 1100m	Hola Amigo 1, Arbitrage 2, Flashman 3.
7	Skymine Plate Class IV; 1400m	Jumanah 1, Majesticus 2, Touch Of Mystic 3.
