MUMBAI RACES 17 JAN 2008
1. URBAN WARRIOR has been tried the last few runs, may run on board. GOLDEN ORRA ran well enough in HISHAM’s race, will go close. DESTINED PRINCE has the breeding to improve. MUBARRAS is a horse with niggles, appeals on handicap.
MUBARRAS-GOLDEN ORRA
2. ROCOCO is getting into winning form ,the last run was suggestive. TAANUSH had beaten a good field, may do so again. MASEEHA is a game stayer. LA HINCH was highly fancied last year for the classics, appears to be getting into form.
ROCOCO-LA HINCH
3. SIROCO who placed last time should benefit from the allowance jockey who appears to be improved in riding. AMARANZA is a game old horse who finishes on well. LIGHTNING BOLT is speedy, the jockey will try to run away. MEDTIA’S PRIDE ‘s last run was an improvement.
SIROCO-MEDTIA’S PRIDE-AMARANZA
4. ANGEL’S GLORY stands out on speedy pedigree, excellent timing in her maiden win & preparation. APPOLLOTINA is bred in blue. LA JOIE DE VIE is blazing the tracks. MONOPOLY is working fast on tracks.
ANGEL’S GLORY-LA JOIE DE VIE
5. AQUADISIAC is retaining good form, has a handicap jockey who will hit the front. CARLOS needed distance last time, will be in the fray. SIMPLY SMASHING can upset if it warms up in the straight. PARTY CELEBRATION has not been exposed to true form so far. MYSTERIOUS STAR was a noteworthy 2nd last time, appeals on weight.
CARLOS-AQUA DISIAC-MYSTERIOUS STAR
6. TIGRESSE NOIRE was a reasonable 2nd. MICKY MANTLE was an impressive winner. KA CHING has been prepared for the day. BUENOS AIRES was hard pressed to win last time, may run on board.
KA CHING-MICKY MANTLE
7. ENCOURAGEMENT is a failed favorite. JAZEGGO was a good 2nd last time. MULTI CULTURAL is a big flop, let us see what a top rider can do. CAN CAN is solidly prepared.

- 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.
