An interesting card has been framed for the culminating day at Mumbai Races with a few races for horses who have not performed during the season. The main feature SBC Million race has a strong field in which CANCIND DYNAMITE, GIANTASSIO, ASCRIPTIVE, FIRE WITHIN & BLACK SAPPHIRE being main hopefuls.
1. RAGING CHENAB is a failed favorite, the Delhi based jockey may force a win. BLACK HUSSAR was heavily whipped to go down fighting, the allowance jockey will be an advantage. SHAKTIMAN has been running forward races. SHARAPOVA was an eye catching 3rd, can upset.

2. MUSTANG SALLY has come down in scales. SOLSKJAER ran a forward race last time. ACCEPTANCE is a speedy horse who has come down in handicap. ARABIAN GUEST may run on board.

3. KINGS DESIRE may improve on his last 4th. COVENANT is a speedy horse who warmed up to win easily last time. GENERALLISIMO has been knocking for success, may do it now.

4. PROCYON proved to be a good type when winning last time as a good gamble, all have to catch him. MYSTERIOUS STAR has been well prepared. SPIRITUAL FLAME appeals on handicap, the failed favorite may redeem last time loses. WILD VEGAS was leading all the way in the straight before easing out, can surprise.

5. FIRE CRACKER was a decent 4tth. ROMANTIC IMPACT is well bred, the last run was in a million race where it gave a reasonable display. ZEN can improve on the last run. HIGHLAND FLAME is tracking well. WILD TORNNADO is a speedy type.

6. DANCING DYNAMITE was an easy winner. GIANTASSIO was a surprise start to finish winner under the stables second string jockey, will fight out. ASCRIPTIVE is well prepared. FIRE WITHIN a full brother to SECRET WARRIOR is good in tracks. BLACK SAPPHIRE was eating up the turf in the last million, if she reproduces that run she will be on the classic scene.

7. DANCE MAESTRO has been on threshold of winning, the weight is a dampener. EKOFISK was held up at a crucial stage when finishing on, the rider will utilize that keen pulse of the horse. CLASSIC STAR is working well. SPARTA is bound to improve on the 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.
