PUNE RACES
1.ONUS PROBANDI is tight on handicap, may run better than last time. SAILING THRU who has placed in all five appearances will try to be at it again. FIDEL DEFENSOR caught the eye in finishing 2nd to GLOBAL SPIRIT, may do it for the worried trainer who is desperately looking for winners. PAPER KING is the best bred who placed in last run, should show improvement.

2. HIGHLAND BOUNTY ran an encouraging 5th in million, can win here. PALME D’OR went all the way suggesting a repeat is feasible. ALASKA won well & may grace the board. CLASSIC RULER who is half brother to that speedy & good type SECRET ROMEO appears fit based on the mock race, may run well after the longish break.
HIGHLAND BOUNTY-PALME DE OR-ALASKA
3. FIREFOOT is not finding that turn of foot he displayed at Mumbai, can win still. SPICA has run with higher class animals, it warmed up late in last attempt. WAFADAR appears to be getting into shape, may improve. PREMIER PERCEPTION is a pure 1000m specialist belonging to a trainer whose well bred wards have a habit of disappointing often.
SPICA-FIREFOOT-PREMIER PERCEPTION
4 DEVILITTO is tracking well, the mock race should have helped. GOLDEN KINGDOM, when running with every body’s money as a good thing, got surprised near the winning post by a superior animal. BLUE JAY is bred for speed, has placed both times, gets a decent chance here. CENTRE OF ATTENTION is a failed favorite, should be given another chance.
CENTRE OF ATTENTION-BLUE JAY-DEVILITTO
5. SET ALIGHT is too superior to GOLDEN SYMBOL who is class better than the other two.
SET ALIGHT-GOLDEN SYMBOL
6. DANCING GLORY is tracking well. BLUE MOUNTAIN was beaten fair & square by SALTORO in the earlier part of the season, the track appears to have firmed up since & with added distance he should go very close this time as he is by the top sire Razeen. NORA flopped in last run curiously, can not be backed based on that effort. SALTORO who ran decently in last run despite a severe interference looks good on handicap.
SALTORO-BLUE MOUNTAIN-NORA
7. TOMMY CARMICHAEL is showing some form though it would like more distance. PURE DEVOTION has been well prepared for first run here. MAVERICK who has run in sprints only goes over his pet distance now. SOLKJAER was a decent 3rd in youngsters, can run a decent race with the Delhi jockey to guide him.
SOLKJAER-MAVERICK-TOMMY CARMICHAEL
8. MATATA PRIDE who is well bred has not yet shown its true worth. WINNING TREAT is improving with each run, the distance is a bother. MERCEDES was given a soft ride over a sprint, may deliver despite the fact that the jockey has a poor record. JOHNNY BRAVO is going over ideal distance.

- 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.

race starts at 13.30 hrs.& u post ur selection at 12.33 hrs.who is going 2 benifit?
Dear Sarat,
I guess my mail hasn't reached u due to wrong e-mail id, thus leaving a mote on public forum. Please visit www.turfwanderer.blogspot.com, i have been up to a trial exercise of computing tipsters winning tally.
It's still on trial basis and not on public domain, I will be very happy to receive your valued feedback to tweak the system.
If I get a nod of 8/10 tipsters I will go ahead and start from Bangalore season in right earnest.
There are proposals for feting top tipsters center wise and overall, which we will all finalize if this blog has to happen.
Looking to your frank views and feedback.
Vikram Sood
well, fans like me wait for your comments but the same are given at such a belated stage that hardly anybody would get benefitted. It is requested to give your selections at least by 11 AM.
Hello Sharma,
I have been following your tips for sometime and your selections have been very useful to me. Thank you very much. Congratulations on yesterday's victory. Unfortunately I could not en cash it on your wife's horse and it stuck me after the race that it is your horse. and trainer's choice of Delhi rider for winning mounts. I remember you mentioning that it has an outside chance in youngsters. :)
Regards,
Madhu
