Mumbai Races-06 Dec 2007
1 TRY YOUR LUCK was a faraway 2nd to EARL OF WARWICK, she has a better jockey today. ITEM BOMB was an unwanted 3rd to ALASKAN ZONE, comes into consideration with a try jockey atop. SPARROW HAWK has been given a run. GREY STORM has come down in scales.
ITEM BOMB-TRY YOUR LUCK
2. WAFADAR has been brought down since moving here from Bangalore, the strong jockey will try to go start to finish. PEORIA is pleasing in trials. ENGLEHART is being consistently run over shorter distances.
WAFADAR-ENGLEHART
3. ROYAL CROWN failed as a favorite on his maiden appearance. The jockey may see him triumph today though there are no tracks. SPARTA is a problem horse. BLACK DAHLIA failed last time, may improve. WALKING TALL is working handsomely.

4. URBAN WARRIOR may find the weight & distance against him. BLOOM has been well prepared ,both at Pune & here. ALEXA is working well. KEMPINSKI is being readied for a coup. HOUSE PREFECT should like this distance.
HOUSE PREFECT-KEMPINSKI-URBAN WARRIOR
5. ABOVE ALL is stoutly bred. SLEIGHT OF HAND is a sitter if given an OK by the connections, her runs at Mumbai last year make her the days best bet. Northern warrior has been prepared. HYMN’S ANGEL appeals on low weight.
SLEIGHT OF HAND-HYMN’S ANGEL-NORTHERN WARRIOR
6. MEMORABLE DAY was a good winner last time. ECHOES OF LIGHT has been blazing the tracks at Bangalore. It was not allowed to win as a favorite as the other stable horse was on a gambling kill. It should run a good race today. MASEEHA is a game stayer. LAKE PALACE won his maiden start very easily, will be tried again.

7. GOLDEN SPURS may run well under a rookie jockey. PURE DEVOTION has been solidly prepared. MARMARIS a well pedigreed animal may have come to hand. FRONTIER MAIL is working well

- 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.
