BANGALORE RACES
1. The TIROL colt FLYING FLAME was a game 2nd in last run, with the allowance jockey
he has a decent chance. FANTASY KNOT had shown some promising track work in winters, the rider has a fight on hand against the claimers. VOODOO MOON is tracking well. CORUS has come down to a level from where he has to figure on board .
FLYING FLAME-FANTASY KNOT-VODOO MOON
2. SPICY STAR who has been on board in all recent runs has a strong jockey. THE SPARTAN is in fine condition and should be looking for a repeat after the easy victory. NOBLE KINGDOM has not lived up to the expectations from his fine blood lines, for some reason he appears to be held back, the tracks are very good. FLAIR QUEEN with the rookie jockey appeals on handicap.
FLAIR QUEEN- THE SPARTAN-NOBLE KINGDOM
3. SAPTASHWA looks too good here after placing against four year olds. EL GORDO runs best under non try jockeys. ALCHESAYE has not won for long, has a stiff job here. ORIENTATION won all the way as a good thing, should put up another good show.
SAPTASHWA-ORIENTATION-EL GORDO
4. MISS HONEYDEW is a consistent type who may run on board. GLORY BOUND has been a failure so far. SEASON’S GREETINGS is in fit condition, may surprise. COMPETENT SOLDIER has been well prepared.

5. ROYAL BANK ran an encouraging 2nd. JERSEY ROCK was a determined runner over a trip, the latest tracks are encouraging. SO MUCH MORE was a disinterested finisher in last race, has a try jockey now. SPANDAU BALLET is in fine form.
JERSEY ROCK-SPANDAU BALLET-SO MUCH MORE
6. VIRTUOSO is good in tracks, a trip over 1400 would have been ideal, however it ran a great first race against TANZANITE. STEP IN STYLE is from a roguish dam, does not appeal. CRUISING is by a speedy mare, the filly impressed in a fast gate practice. LEAVE IT TO ME is a challenging name, the best bred filly who is full sister to RUBEN STAR and SPECTACULAR QUEST has been groomed for an impressive debut.

- 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.
