1. FREDERICIA is by a staying sire, will be tried. DANCE DIVA has won twice quite comfortably, may find the trip a bit hard. MILES AND MORE is an out & out stayer, should win at this handicap.
MILES AND MORE-FREDERICIA
2. CHARGING RHINO has aged ,may win in a fight. ABLE EAGLE has been given a run after grueling tracks, can upset as it has beaten OPEN SEASON last year with T Bernard on top. SEE THE TRUTH has come down in class. NASEEBDAR is consistent. SHARAPOVA has come down a lot, can upset.
ABLE EAGLE-CHARGING RHINO-SEE THE TRUTH
4. RECOLLECTION has the pedigree but no performance. SPHINX likes to hurry when nearing the finishing post. STAR LEGEND was unlucky looser last time. SIMPLY PERFECT would like a bit more distance wise.
STAR LEGEND-SPHINX-RECOLLECTION
5. RED AMETHYST was a fluent winner last time. DINGLE is coming to hand, has a positive rider . REALLY ROMANTIC is speedy. HIGH RISING appeals on handicap & is tracking well.
HIGH RISING-REALLY ROMANTIC-DINGLE
5. THE HURRICANE is a good type but very harshly penalized for his last win. COSMOPOLITAN was a surprising winner, the horse appears to have come out of his ailment. AVEC PLAISIER & STAR OF CHINA come out close on handicap. The former was a neck better at level weights when they raced together at level weights. The later appears improved as she is blazing on the tracks, also the handicap jockey may have an edge if ridden hard.
STAR OF CHINA-AVEC PLASIER-COSMOPOLITAN
6. FRONTIER MAIL has a speedy pedigree. SPIRITED GUY has yet to show his true colours, appeals today. AMBEROGGIO is fast ,can fight out. PHOENIX RISING is classically bred, the mock race may have given some confidence as last time it got left in the gates.
SPIRITED GUY-AMBERROGIO-FRONTIER MAIL
7. LUVATA is bred for speed, should be all-out today. SOLU is a dark one from Antia’s ward, may be tried. BU ATTIFEL has not run as per expectations, may upset.
LUVATA-SOLU-BU ATTIFEL
8. FIREY FUTURE appeals on handicap, the age & a poor rider are negatives. If you are looking for an upset then PRECISION is the one. SUPREME ATTRACTION is working well. ABSOLUT is bred for speed, should improve with the change of name. ROMAN RULER appears to be a disappointment. SOLSJKAER named after the footballer may place.
PRECISION-SOLSJKAER-ABSOLUT

- 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.
