Book Fav: Tatla One | Book Place: Hassan Star | Book Fluke: Lady Sareena

My Fav: Myuna | My Place: Khizar Queen | My Fluke: Tatla One

My reasoning: Myuna (9-0) carries the outright top weight in this eight-horse Division VI & VII field — 3 pounds ahead of Khizar Queen and 9 pounds clear of the book's favourite Tatla One (8-5). The book making Tatla One favourite at 8-5, conceding 9 pounds to the top weight over 900m, is a form-based call I cannot support analytically. Myuna at 9-0 is the handicapper's recognised class act of this division and my favourite. Khizar Queen (8-11), second highest in the field at just 3 pounds below the top, is the natural place selection — it has run consistently in the upper weight band across Days 4 and 5. Tatla One (8-5) drops to my fluke — the form clearly interests the book but the weight concession is significant. Lady Sareena (8-4) as the book's fluke is plausible but sits 10 pounds below Myuna.

Book Fav: Chhota Multani | Book Place: Black Fire | Book Fluke: Dogar Choice

My Fav: Dogar Choice | My Place: Chhota Multani | My Fluke: Black Fire

My reasoning: Dogar Choice (9-0) carries the outright top weight — a full 12 pounds ahead of the five-way cluster at 7-12 and 14 pounds ahead of the bottom pair. The book makes it the fluke while installing Chhota Multani (8-2) as favourite, despite Chhota Multani conceding 12 pounds to the top. Regular followers of this meeting will recall that Dogar Choice won Race 2 on Day 4 outright from exactly this kind of top-weight position. The handicapper has retained its 9-0 allocation — a clear signal of continued confidence. My favourite is Dogar Choice with conviction. Chhota Multani (8-2), winner of Race 1 on Day 5, has earned its form claim and is my place. Black Fire (7-12) is my fluke — the book's place selection, sitting in the mid-weight cluster, with enough pace profile over 900m to sneak a frame position.

 

Race 3 · 8:10 PM — Class VII Division IV & V — 900m

Field of 8

#	Horse	Weight
1	Be A Man 5	8-10
2	Fakhar-e-Sardar 3	8-8
3	Paddington 8	8-2

7	Classic Mystery 6	7-12
8	—	—

Book Fav: Classic Mystery | Book Place: Be A Man | Book Fluke: Fakhar-e-Sardar

My Fav: Be A Man | My Place: Fakhar-e-Sardar | My Fluke: Classic Mystery

My reasoning: This is the analytically richest race of the card and I diverge sharply from the book. Be A Man (8-10) carries the outright top weight — 2 pounds ahead of Fakhar-e-Sardar and 12 pounds ahead of the four-way cluster at 7-12 that includes the book's favourite Classic Mystery. The book making Classic Mystery (7-12) the favourite while relegating Be A Man to place is a dramatic form-over-weight call. My favourite is Be A Man without hesitation. Now the most significant selection: Fakhar-e-Sardar (8-6) has been one of the most persistently mistreated horses of this entire meeting. It won Race 2 on Day 3 of the Summer Meeting outright at 9-0, has finished in the frame repeatedly, and continues to be assigned fluke status by the book despite carrying upper weights and possessing proven class. At 8-8 in Division IV & V, just 2 pounds below the top weight, it is my place with full conviction. Classic Mystery at 7-12 drops to my fluke — the book's enthusiasm for it at bottom weight is form-driven but analytically hard to justify against the top two weights. Bilal Love (7-12) has now won two races from this weight band and is worth watching — but the pattern of pace-dependent gate-to-wire wins from 7-10/7-12 is difficult to predict systematically.

 

Race 4 · 8:45 PM — Class VII Division II & III — 900m

Field of 5

#	Horse	Weight
1	Sarkar Raj 6	9-0
2	Imperius 4	8-6
3	Awan Choice 3	8-5
4	Bella One 2	8-4
5	Golden Choice 5	7-12

Book Fav: Sarkar Raj | Book Place: Imperius | Book Fluke: Golden Choice

My Fav: Sarkar Raj | My Place: Imperius | My Fluke: Awan Choice

My reasoning: Full agreement with the book on the top two. Sarkar Raj (9-0) carries the outright top weight in a five-horse Division II & III field — 8 pounds ahead of Imperius and 16 pounds ahead of Golden Choice. In the tightest and most senior division of the day, the weight authority of 9-0 in a five-runner field is decisive. My favourite is Sarkar Raj without reservation. Imperius (8-6) at second weight is the natural place — well recognised by both the book and weight logic. The divergence is only in the fluke: the book selects Golden Choice (7-12) while I prefer Awan Choice (8-5). Awan Choice ran a surprise second on Day 4 at 8-2 and the handicapper has nudged it up 3 pounds in response — a meaningful signal. Golden Choice at 7-12 concedes 16 pounds to the top weight over 900m, which is a steep ask in a senior division. Awan Choice splitting the difference at 8-5 is the more credible frame candidate.

5th Day — Lahore Summer Meeting 2026 Sunday, 19th July 2026 | 4 Races | First Race 7:00 PM All four races over 1000m — full distance card

9	Flokey 8	7-8

Book Fav: Dar Prince | Book Place: Quiz | Book Fluke: Chhota Multani

My Fav: Dar Prince | My Place: Khizar Queen | My Fluke: Chhota Multani

My reasoning: Full agreement on the favourite — Dar Prince 5 (9-0) carries the outright top weight in this nine-horse maiden and the handicapper has retained it there after it ran third on Day 4 from top weight. That 3rd-place finish under 9-0 is exactly the profile the handicapper rewards with continued confidence, and over 1000m the top weight authority is even more pronounced than the 900m card last week. My favourite without reservation. I diverge slightly on the place: while the book selects Quiz (7-10), I prefer Khizar Queen (8-11) — the second highest weight in the field at just 3 pounds below the top. In maiden company, the weight ladder tells the clearest story, and Khizar Queen sits at a natural place position between Dar Prince's authority and the mid-field cluster. Chhota Multani (8-8) is my fluke — it ran a surprise second on Day 4 from 8-6, the handicapper has nudged it up 2 pounds in response, and at 8-8 over the full 1000m it has the profile of a horse building toward a win.

 

Race 2 · 7:35 PM — Class VII Division VI & VII — 1000m

Field of 7

#	Horse	Weight
1	Royal Stone 7	9-0
2	Zindagi 5	8-10
3	American Star 8	8-4
4	Sea of Class 6	7-10
5	Sosig Go 2	7-10
6	Hassan Star 3	7-10
7	Majesty 4	7-10

Book Fav: Majesty | Book Place: Royal Stone | Book Fluke: Zindagi

My Fav: Royal Stone | My Place: Zindagi | My Fluke: Majesty

My reasoning: This is the sharpest disagreement of the card between the book and me. Royal Stone (9-0) carries the outright top weight — a full 4 pounds ahead of Zindagi and 10 pounds ahead of the four-way cluster at 7-10 that includes Majesty. The book makes Majesty the favourite despite it sitting at the very bottom of the weight range at 7-10. Majesty ran a surprise third on Day 4 from 7-10 and the book appears to be riding that momentum — but the handicapper has not moved Majesty's weight at all, which signals it was considered a fortunate third rather than a genuine class act. Royal Stone has carried 9-0 for multiple meetings now and is the recognised divisional class act. My favourite is Royal Stone emphatically. Zindagi (8-10), second highest in the field, is the natural place selection. Majesty drops to my fluke — the form is live but bottom weight in a seven-horse field against 9-0 Royal Stone over 1000m is a significant ask.

 

Race 3 · 8:10 PM — Class VII Division IV & V — 1000m

Field of 9

#	Horse	Weight
1	Kalabi's Queen 7	9-0
2	Emerging Star 2	8-12
3	Be A Man 6	8-8
4	Fakhar-e-Sardar 5	8-6

6	Vartika 3	8-0
7	Bellatrix 4	8-0
8	Haseeb Thunder 8	7-10
9	Zaman Sahib 9	7-10

Book Fav: Bellatrix | Book Place: Be A Man | Book Fluke: Haseeb Thunder

My Fav: Kalabi's Queen | My Place: Emerging Star | My Fluke: Fakhar-e-Sardar

My reasoning: The book and I diverge sharply and importantly here. Kalabi's Queen (9-0) carries the outright top weight — 2 pounds ahead of Emerging Star, 6 pounds ahead of Be A Man, and a full 9 pounds ahead of the book's favourite Bellatrix (8-0). Kalabi's Queen ran a surprise third on Day 4 at 8-12, the handicapper has now elevated it to 9-0 — a clear and decisive signal of confidence. That is the most meaningful weight movement on this entire card and my favourite is Kalabi's Queen without hesitation. Emerging Star (8-12) is my place — it has been competitive throughout the meeting at the upper weight range and is the natural second selection. Now for the most analytically significant pick: Fakhar-e-Sardar (8-6) drops into Division IV & V carrying 8-6. Regular followers of this meeting will recognise this horse — it has been backed repeatedly as a favourite or fluke in Division V & VI at 9-0, winning Race 2 on Day 3 of the Summer Meeting outright. The handicapper has placed it in a lower division at a reduced weight of 8-6. This is a horse of higher class running in easier company — my fluke with conviction. The book's choice of Bellatrix as favourite at 8-0 in a field where Kalabi's Queen carries 9-0 and Fakhar-e-Sardar brings class from a higher division is, in my view, the weakest book call of the day.

1	Sher Dil 5	9-0
2	Self Belief 2	8-4
3	Wake Up 6	7-12
4	Coach House Pari 4	7-10
5	Bilal Love 3	7-10
6	True My Love 7	7-10

Book Fav: Coach House Pari | Book Place: Wake Up | Book Fluke: Sher Dil

My Fav: Sher Dil | My Place: Self Belief | My Fluke: Wake Up

My reasoning: The most striking divergence of the entire card. Sher Dil (9-0) carries the outright top weight — a full 10 pounds ahead of Self Belief, 12 pounds ahead of Wake Up, and 14 pounds clear of the three-way cluster at 7-10 that includes the book's favourite Coach House Pari. The book has made Coach House Pari (7-10) the favourite while designating Sher Dil the fluke — this is a pure form-over-weight call. Sher Dil ran third on Day 3 of the Summer Meeting and third again on Day 4, consistently finishing in the frame at the top of the weights. The handicapper's decision to allocate 9-0 in Division V & VI is a statement of class. My favourite is Sher Dil with full conviction. Self Belief (8-4) is my place — sitting 10 pounds below the top weight but 6 clear of the bottom cluster, it occupies the classic second-position profile. Wake Up (7-12) is my fluke — it ran a surprise second on Day 3 Race 2 from 7-10 and has been nudged up 2 pounds, showing the handicapper noticed. Coach House Pari at 7-10 as the book's favourite — 14 pounds below the top weight over 1000m — is a call I cannot support analytically regardless of recent form.

10	Flokey 7	7-8

Book Fav: Flokey | Book Place: Mumraiz The Great | Book Fluke: Quiz

My Fav: Dar Prince 5 | My Place: Hashim Prince 2 | My Fluke: Flokey

My reasoning: This is a maiden race and the weight structure speaks clearly. Dar Prince 5, Hashim Prince 2, and Mirza Prince 6 all share the outright top weight of 9-0 — three horses joint at the ceiling of an eleven-runner maiden. In maiden company, the handicapper's top weight allocation signals the horses with the most recognised potential. Among the three, Dar Prince 5 earns my favour as the primary pick. Hashim Prince 2, sharing 9-0, is the natural place selection. The book's choice of Flokey (7-8) as favourite is a bottom-weight maiden call that defies conventional weight logic — I move Flokey down to my fluke. Mumraiz The Great at 7-10 is a legitimate place contender in the book's view but the 14-pound gap from the top weights is simply too wide to justify favouritism.

10	Majesty 8	7-10

Book Fav: Royal Stone | Book Place: Pride of Chandrai | Book Fluke: Dogar Choice

My Fav: Royal Stone | My Place: Pride of Chandrai | My Fluke: Dogar Choice

My reasoning: Full agreement with the book on all three selections here. Royal Stone (9-0) carries the outright top weight — 4 pounds clear of Roxy and 6 clear of Dogar Choice. In an eleven-horse Division VI & VII field over 900m, that authority at the top of the weights is decisive. Royal Stone is my favourite without reservation. Pride of Chandrai (8-2) is well placed as a place contender — sitting in the mid-weight band, recognised by the handicapper, and a credible frame finisher. Dogar Choice (8-6) has shown form across the meeting, carrying fluke status here — my fluke as well. The four-way cluster at 7-10 at the bottom of the field makes upsets possible but the weight logic firmly supports the top three selections.

6	True My Love 2	7-10

Book Fav: Xena | Book Place: Sher Dil | Book Fluke: Lucky Macs

My Fav: Lucky Macs | My Place: Sher Dil | My Fluke: Xena

My reasoning: This is the most analytically interesting race of the card and I diverge sharply from the book. Lucky Macs and Sher Dil share the outright top weight of 9-0 — two pounds ahead of Self Belief and a full 4 pounds ahead of the book's favourite Xena (7-12). Lucky Macs has been consistent throughout this meeting and was my fluke pick on Day 3 Race 2 where it carried 8-12 — the handicapper has now elevated it to 9-0, a clear signal of confidence. My favourite is Lucky Macs. Sher Dil shares top weight and is my place. The book making Xena the favourite despite it carrying 7-12 — a full stone below the top weights — is a form-over-weight call. Xena did win Race 1 on Day 3 as an upset, which explains the book's confidence, but in a six-horse field with two horses sitting at 9-0, I move Xena down to my fluke.

 

Race 4 · 8:45 PM — Class VII Division III & IV — 900m

Field of 6

#	Horse	Weight
1	Golden Choice 3	9-0
2	Kalabi's Queen 2	8-12
3	Moni Ka Rehman 6	8-12
4	Fatteh Prince 4	8-2
5	Vartika 5	7-12
6	Zaman Sahib 7	7-10

Book Fav: Moni Ka Rehman | Book Place: Vartika | Book Fluke: Fatteh Prince

My Fav: Golden Choice | My Place: Moni Ka Rehman | My Fluke: Kalabi's Queen

My reasoning: The book and I diverge at the top. Golden Choice (9-0) carries the outright top weight — 2 pounds ahead of Kalabi's Queen and Moni Ka Rehman, and a full 13 pounds ahead of Zaman Sahib. That is commanding weight authority in a six-horse Division III & IV field. The book ignores Golden Choice entirely and makes Moni Ka Rehman (8-12) the favourite — notable given Moni Ki Chahat won Race 4 on Day 3, suggesting the book may be riding recent form sentiment around the Moni name. However, the weight logic puts Golden Choice firmly as my favourite. Moni Ka Rehman (8-12) drops to my place — recent divisional form supports a frame finish. Kalabi's Queen also at 8-12 ran a surprise third on Day 3 and is my fluke. Fatteh Prince at 8-2 is the book's fluke but concedes too much weight to the leaders.

 

Race 5 · 9:20 PM — Gujrat Cup Match Race — 1000m

#	Horse	Weight
1	Dawood Prince 2	8-7
2	Zohan The Thunder 3	7-7

My reasoning: A match race is pure head-to-head — no field dynamics, no weight cluster analysis, just two horses. Dawood Prince carries 8-7 against Zohan The Thunder's 7-7 — a full stone advantage at the top. Dawood Prince won Race 4 on the 40th day from top weight and has been a consistent performer in this division. The 14-pound weight concession is significant over 1000m. Dawood Prince is the selection. Zohan The Thunder is the underdog but if it has the pace to offset the weight gap, it can make this competitive.
