RSI CUP DAY

Used to be my favourite day at the Racecourse.
0600-Depart home
0630-Tee off
0810-0830 Breakfast
0830-1115 holes 10-18
1130-1200 Squash
1200-1230 Swim
1245-1300 A bottle of GE Beer
1310-at the RC, lunch at Dorabjee's. Rs.5/- for Mutton Biryani.
But let's see what tomorrow has in hold for us.
1. 1.      SIZZLING LOVE- XENIA- DOMAIN ANNA- BY THE WAY
    2.   ATLANTIC STAR-P
    3.   HERCULEAN- MUMBAI KING- RECKLESS ROMEO-STAFFAN
    4.  TITLEIST- HURRICANE BIRD-ENDLESS HORIZON  
    5.  BLUE ACE- SHIVALIK HERO-WINSTON
    6.  SMART STRIDER-ESKIMO- VICTORIOUS MARCH- VIVA LA DIVA
         Simple theory-any horse that wins by 5L or more must be backed again. Doubters  
         can hedge their bets.
    7.  GUNS N ROSES- WINGS OF GLORY 
    8.  ?????????????????
    9.  RELIC HUNTER- MOUNTAIN SONG- SERENA-FIREBACK- ROSE BOWL

    Day's best: Herculean
    Another: Relic Hunter with Kamlesh astride.
    Sizzling Love is in its winning zone, with its earlier runs somewhat wishy-washy.
