After a long time we are looking at such a big field: 19 runners. Yes, you need a lot of luck. You need the right draw (gate) position. Going strictly by the Mahalaxmi form, I think horses that should figure in the finish are Dangerous, Once You Go Black, Mojito, Supernatural and King’s Ransom. They have galloped over the Derby distance and also have displayed reasonably consistent form. So the race should really be between them. But you never know. In the Indian Derby, with 19 horses, anything can happen. 

‘I love them equally’

The question I am getting asked often is who do I prefer between my two runners, King’s Ransom and Supernatural? I really can’t answer that, it’s like asking who do you love more between your two children. I love them equally, and hope both of them run well. They are in good health, and have the required form.
