1. TOP ACTION was a good winner over 2000m ,has a stout pedigree. PRECISION has won in higher class ,it may stay the distance. BENEFICA was a fighting 2nd to ELUSIVE TRUST who lost in higher class yesterday, the pedigree commands respect over this distance. MILES & MORE is by RAZEEN & will stay as the name suggests, it was 5th to the classy BLUE VISION & can show out at this distance.
BENEFICA-MILES AND MORE-TOP ACTION
2. GOLDEN SPURS needs more distance, it failed as a favorite in Mumbai. MISCHEVIOUS TROT is well bred. ABOVE ALL has a speedy pedigree. GYPSIE’S ADVISE was 2nd in her last attempt, the pedigree is suitable over a scurry. SEPIA TONE may run well.
GYPSIE’S ADVISE-MISCHEVIOUS TROT-GOLDEN SPURS
3. FRONTIER MAIL may sprint well. MING has been consistent, the jockey up gradation may help. STERNE ROYALE has been very consistent & comes out better than MING when compared with common runners in previous races. BAY MAGIC is tracking well.
STERNE ROYALE-MING-BAY MAGIC
4. RUNAWAY STAR won well & has a good sprinter’s pedigree to repeat. TIGRESSE NOIRE was 3rd to REGAL REFORM , 1200m trip would be more ideal for her. MONTALVO‘s 3rd to RED INDIAN was suggestive, the last run had come too soon, should show improved performance today. SECRET PILGRIM is bred in blue but has been a disappointment so far. MAZAN is at a good handicap.
MONTALVO-RUNAWAY STAR-TIGRESSE NOIRE
5. OASIS STAR had won impressively in very fast timings, it is in tremendous form, will be hard to down. ALVIDA has been given a mock race & is tracking well. HIGH OPINION was a reasonable 2nd to SMARTY PANT, it is showing return to form. MATHEMATICA may need this run.
OASIS STAR-ALVIDA-HIGH OPINION
6. ASTREA has been prepared for the day. She stands tall in this set up. AVEC PLAISIER is a very good sprinter ,may be found wanting over 1400m. PRESENT GLORY has the pedigree & handicap to try & contain ASTREA.
ASTREA-PRESENT GLORY
7 PEBBLE BEACH was a fair 2nd to ELUSIVE TRUST, is moving well on tracks. PHOENIX RISING is bred in classic mould, appears under prepared. RECOLLECTION has not yet been tried ,the pedigree is suggestive, should run well. JOHNNY BRAVO suffered as a favorite last time, may place.
RECOLLECTION-PEBBLE BEACH-JOHNNY BRAVO
8. SPHINX has won at this weight earlier. OOJAH needs to be at the busy end after loafing around for long. PERFECTION was a c lose 5th to RED MESA . LADY TROOPER can go all the way if backed., the handicap appeals. NASEEBDAR may try to place. TEASER should warm up late as is his habit.

- 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.
