The last three racing foals of the mare Gumbaru Utsu run in three different taces today. A rare occurence, it is visualised that two of them have a decent chance & at least one should win.
1.Victoricia is very well bred & has run decent races at Mumbai. There should not be any problem in the step up in distance today & she should account for Hector who is a winner of two races over staying distances.Pursuit Of Power a 5 yr old has not won any time though he finishes on well.
2. Red Indian ran 2nd to Avec Plasier in a million race & he has been prepared. Oasis Star has the bloodlines & connections alongwith solid track preparations to make him the favourite. Hephaestus is well bred but has a work jockey on top .
RED INDIAN-OASIS STAR-HEPHAESTUS
3. Hoof Beats has been brought down after some indifferent runs, he looks prepared for a win. Salazar has good breeding & handicap but like most other Shroff's horses there is no evidence of trackwork. Sharp Memory has been prepared.
HOOFBEATS-SHARP MEMORIES-SALAZAAR
4.Salandra looks tall in this weak set up, she finished a good 3rd to late Labuan in her 1st run & should run away today. Socoraro has been prepared to give a fight. No other horse has been given tracks though Buinos Aires has run with better animals.
SALANDRA-BEAUNOS AIRES-SOCORARO
5.Annot was a runaway winner of two races at Pune before some indifferent form or niggle put him backwards. Now he may resume his winning ways on the grassy Pune track. Dancing Diva has speed & Lago Medio is a good handicapper though at a disadvantage today.The Rising has literally no weight on her back in a way & could run away from the field.
ANNOT-THE RISING-DANCING DIVA
6. Dance Diva has been a flop, so avoid. Rainbow Shine has not been running to expectations. Naseebdar has the low weight in his favour.Art Of War could also be in the fray.
ART OF WAR-NASEEBDAAR-DANCE DIVA
7.Oyster cove had won this race last year & could repeat, he likes the track here .Star Conquest has been unbeaten in his last four starts & has been prepared for the event. Torque is speedy to fight from the front.Dynasty is a top sprinter but looks under prepeared.
OYSTER COVE-STAR CONQUEST-TORQUE
8.Festive Light is speedy & has run with good company. She should account for the mediocre field.
FESTIVE LIGHT-ARABIAN SPEED-FIREFOOT
9.The Hurricane looms over others in speed & preparation. Sea Gull has the handicap advantage to make a race of it once the field turns for home. Desert Dust has been prepared well.
THE HURRICANE-SEA GULL-DESERT DUST
10. Bright Side is a useful type of horse with ArtiDoctor. He won first outing last year & looks like repeating the feat. Deelicious won well in Mumbai though now he has'nt been on the morning track. Return Of the King may beat Majoe Wager for place.

- REALISTIC LOOK AT THE PERFORMANCE OF FRESHMAN SIRES 1. Four freshman sires had their crop racing in the country in the racing year 2018-19 . CORPORATE JUNGLE(USA) 2008 BY GIANTS CAUSEWAY( HAZARA STUD) LEITIR MOR (IRE) 2010 BY HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR(POONAWALLA STUD) SPEAKING OF WHICH(IRE) 2009 BY INVINCIBLE SPIRIT(USHA STUD) SUDIRMAN(USA) 2011 BY HENRY THE NAVIGATOR(EQUUS STUD) 2. CORPORATE JUNGLE had a reported crop of 31 live foals as per stud book and only 9 were winners as follows. ROYAL CURRENCY-4WINS including Nilgiri Derby Grade 1. ELECTRA-2WINS LADY ASCOT-2WINS STAR CAVALARY-1WIN SPARTAN -1W BROTHER IN ARMS-1W EXQUISITE STAR-1W FUN LOVER-1W NORELAA-1W. 3. LETIR MOR had a reported crop of 49 and has 12 winners so far. STORM BREAKER-3W including Juvenile Sprinters Million Grade 3. HUNT FOR GOLD-2W including Breeders Produce Stakes Grade 3 VIJAY SINGHAM-2W RAINBOW TROUT-2W MYSTIC BAY-2W SILVER FLAME-2W MAJESTIC WARRIOR 2W BEEMER-1W ICE FLOE-1W GODS PLAN-1W NOVA SCOTIA-1W. 4. SPEAKING OF WHICH had a reported crop of 29 and has 12 winners RHAPSODY-2W ANGEL GRACE-2W MAKHTOOB-2W THE GREAT GATSBY-2W SLICE OF HAVEN-1W GIFT OF GRACE-1W MY PASSION-1W ROSINA-1W SPEAKING OF STARS-1W WIZARD OF STOCKS-1W ASMITA-1W RULE THE WORLD-1W 5. SUDIRMAN being infertile did not have any live produce. COMMENTS A. SPEAKING OF WHICH is no comparison to the good sires produced by the top North Indian Stud Farm which housed the best ever RAZEEN, top sire today MULTIDIMENSIONAL, outstanding GREY GASTON, and the highly respected STEINBECK. However he stands out on comparison to the other three and appears to be the best to choose from the freshman sires purely because of lurking promise over classic distances which the coming winter season will offer to the present 3 year olds.He is bound to click with some Razeen mare, if an ordinary sire like CHINA VISIT could get classic winners from them then hope such winners from SPEAKING OF WHICH are soon to be seen. B. LEITIR MOR appears to be a decent sire as his crop has got two black type races and he is from a stud farm which has quality mares are kept. What is discerning is the number of non racers from the crop, the produce has to be race worthy and should come to hand early otherwise it creates many doubts in the ability. Long time ago we had such a sire in LORD ZARA who gave very fragile produce and it was always a risk for the owners. However the sire may have limitations of stamina, the racing style of the winners indicate suitability for speed. Unfortunately LEITIR MOR developed problems and was hardly utilized and has may be one or two foals in the forth coming season. C. The late CORPORATE JUNGLE was the weakest of the lot, did not give much impressive ones specially at the prime racing centres. Though he gave the Nilgiri derby winner I don’t see much more emerging. Since he has a sizable crop next year he will have winners in smaller centres like Chennai, Delhi etc. D. SUDIRMAN is a sob story for the breeders, he has failed again and may have an odd live one.
