Trainers' championship heading for blanket finish

The most exciting feature of Sunday's ten-race card, which will bring the curtain down on the Pune monsoon season 2025, will be the trainers' championship race heading for a nail-biting finish. As many as four trainers--Imtiaz Sait (13), Pesi Shroff (13), Narendra Lagad (12) and PS Chouhan (12)--are huddled together at the top within only one point. 

 

In the equine department, the feature race, RWITC Ltd Trophy (Gr 2), also promises to be as exciting with Psychic Star, Redefined, Regina Memorabilis as main contenders, and Thalassa, if she has managed to put on some flesh, as the joker in the pack.

 

First race at 1 pm.

Important note (Sat, Oct 25): In a month's time PG will turn 70, so he intends to make some changes to his routine and lifestyle. The focus will shift to ONLINE teaching (a very patient batch of students has been eagerly waiting for a long time for this, so they will be his topmost priority). The hectic race-day work, demanding analysis under deadline pressures, will need to stop.

 

So the Betting Plan  module will be discontinued, and replaced by a very small, focused INNER CIRCLE group of only 10 members with whom PG will interact, LIVE through the day's entire race card, to address their doubts or queries in real time (from 15 minutes before the first race to the start of the last race).

 

PG INNER CIRCLE group will be open ONLY to former and present Betting Plan members. A message to that effect has been sent to each of them. Please check your  WhatsApp if you have ever been a Betting Plan member during this wonderful 11-year long journey.​​

UPDATE (Sat, Nov 1): All 10 slots gone! Thanks for the overwhelming support. We are aware many of you are disappointed, but please forgive us. ~Admin
