MUMBAI RACES
The pedigree today is INNARA who has three of her produce running with good chance. QUAND MEME,& FIDDLER'S FERRY come into place contention whereas GYPSY QUEEN has a decent chance to win.
1. CATALYST was an easy winner & is maintaining form. THUNDERING TAN may not last the distance. CALLING THE SHOTS was an unlucky looser last time, the preparations are a pointer. LONE TROJAN has come down a lot.

2. SOLID BLACK is very well prepared, but it belongs to a trainer who is known for his chicken heartedness. SAN JOSE is being prepared, would like a bit of distance. TRUE ELEGANCE has been given a run, the tracks are suggestive. FULL THROTTLE has run with better types, can upset. NORTHERN PRINCE has been well prepared after runs by a non try jockey.
TRUE ELEGANCE-NORTHERN PRINCE-SOLID BLACK
3. FOCUS has a very precocious breeding. SECRET ADMIRER a brother to speedy RUNAWAY STAR & with a precocious breeding has been given an easy run. BABEINTHEWOODS is by a speedy mare who won three races in a few runs she had. EXISTENZ is speedy. ROHAN’S GLORY is well bred, full sister to CULTURE SHOCK , may need this run.

4. STAR GESTURE was an impressive winner. ALMARINA who is well bred also was an easy winner. CLEAN SWEEP is working well. SPIRITUALL who is semi classically bred may have over come the niggles for his maiden run. ACCEPTANCE has been brought down to a striking handicap, can win start to finish any day.

5. FOREST MUSIC has a speedy breeding & tracks are good. POCKET ROCKET is showing out in works. RAGHUVANSH is full brother to the black type winner GRUEZI, looks prepared. WAR CRAFT is full brother to speedy READ MY MIND. QUAND MEME was suggestive in her last run.

- 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.
