Mumbai Races 16 Dec
1. KINGDOM OF LOVE won well, can place with the foreign jockey to guide. PRINCE LOCHINVA is bred for speed & tracks are impressive, will be hard to beat. KALAPUVRAKSHA is from a failure sire who is working well
PRINCE LOCHINVA-KINGDOM OF LOVE
2. VIJAI BHAVA was beaten in last stride, will be in the fray again. ENCOURAGEMENT is working well , the allowance jockey may go all the way. REFUSE TO BEND could not do much at Pune when tried. SUMMER TIME PROMISE is speedy to upset.
SUMMER TIME PROMISE-VIJAI BHAVA-ENCOURAGEMENT
3. AUTONOMY ,a brother to OLIVIA VALERE & ALL THE RAGE is showing out on tracks, all have to catch him. STAR PRESENTATION has been very well prepared & appears to be a good type as the breeding is tops. TROMOS is working well. HI DOLLY is working better than her elder sister DON’T BE SILLY, may place.

4.CALLING THE SHOTS runs once per season, appears to have problems. SAN JOSE is tracking well, the pedigree is suggestive. BEYONCE ran well in her maiden run to be supported today with a better jockey on top. XIAMEN is well bred who has not yet come to hand.
BEYONCE-SAN JOSE-XIAMEN
5. ABSOLUTE REALITY is working well. SUPREME FALCON is well bred. AURORA AUREALIS showed out in finishing on in her maiden run. The tracks are very suggestive as she is by the speediest mare produced in India during the last millennium. POMME DE TERRE is moving well in trials to be on board again.

6. SPIRTUAL HYMN was a good 2nd last time. WILD TEMPER may run on board. PILLATUS was not stretched in Pune, can win in this set up. PERSONIFIED trounced a weak field last time, has worked well with the top colt of the stables, should win again.
PERSONIFIED-PILLATUS-SPIRITUAL HYMN
7. ALVIDA was too eager & lost due to early show in the Pune Derby. All have to contend with BOURBON KING who stands out for this classic. CAIRNDHU is the only unbeaten horse in the field, can improve. CZAR ALEXANDER ran below expectations in Pune Derby, can bounce back as the distance suits him. THE HURRICANE is a good type who may make it on board. ASTREA flashed on to be overhauled by SWEEPING SUCCESS , can make it if let loose at the right moment.
BOURBON KING-ASREA-CZAR ALEXANDER
8. NAN JING was a good 2nd last time, should improve. ENGLEHART should like the step up to correct distance. SEA STORM won thrice in a row last year, can win. SURAJ has come down a lot. COTSWOLD ARMS may justify the low weight & the top jockey.
NANJING-SEA STORM-COTSWOLD ARMS
9.TOUCH THE SKY appeals on handicap. HONEY DAY won last time with Narredu, will be tried. GREEN VALLEY was a good 2nd last run. SOCORARO may upset.

- 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.
