MUMBAI RACES
1. BLACK WARRIOR has come down in scales. BINEE was a fighting 5th in URUJ’s race. ABOVE ALL appeals on pedigree and scales. QUAOAR may run well.
ABOVE ALL-QUOAR-BINEE
2. AEGINA is tracking well. BLAZING ANGEL has improved, the breeding is suggestive. BLUE DAFFODILS was a close 3rd in BELLA’S race, the tracks are good. VICTORY STAR may need a bit more of distance.
BLAZING ANGEL-BLUE DAFFODILLS-AEGINA
3. REJUVENITE has been steadily prepared and waited with, can go the extra 200 yards. HOGO BOSS is reverting to his pet distance. ROYAL FLASH was a comfortable winner, may repeat. NANJING may place.
REJUVENITE-NANJING
4. BEAU JOLOIS is tracking well. HIGHLAND QUEST , brother to precocious QUEST FOR CASH is impressive in tracks. ROHAN’S GLORY could not provide a birthday gift last time to ROHAN, may fail if favorite. WILD TORANNADO is tracking OK.
HIGHLAND QUEST-ROHAN’S GLORY-BEAU JOLOIS
5. FANTASY LAKE is well bred and won impressively. DESTINED PRINCE& URBAN WARRIOR fought out last time, may be involved again. URUJ is maintaining form. SANGOMA is yet to run to his potential. GOLDEN ORRA may upset.
GOLDEN ORRA-URBAN WARRIOR-URUJ
6. IL DIVO was a noticeable runner up, can win over the extra trip. TROMOS may place. LIBERTY SPEAKS is working well. PRETTY COMISSION, a full sister to the excellent ASTREA should win if at good odds as it was a close 5th in the million.
PRETTY COMMISSION-IL DIVO-LIBERTY SPEAKS
7. SPINOZA has a more experienced rider to offset the handicap disadvantage. GRUEZI appeals on better handicap. MOUNTAIN BEAR appears improver in tracks, it is a late maturing type like its elder brothers.
GRUEZI-SPINOZA
8. TERRE BLANCHE is consistent. WAR OF ATTRITION was a noteworthy 3rd. HERE COMES THE DON was finishing on last time. ALMARINA was badly interfered with, can win. RADIATING has been under wraps.
ALMARINA-WAR OF ATTRITION-HERE COMES THE DON
9. SCHNELL is a failed favorite. SIROCO is a hat tricker, looks doubtful. CARLOS should win if not a favorite. HEIFITZ can surprise. GENERALLISSIMO appeals on handicap
GENERALLISSIMO-CARLOS-SCHNELL

- 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.
