MUMBAI RACES
1.None of the four year olds have been over this distance. HIGHLAND QUEST is by the black type NATIVE QUEST and should get the trip. BLACK PHANTOM is full brother to AGGASITZ and has been given long gallops for preparation. MAGICAL MANTRA is by a mediocre sire but placed 4th over 2000m once.The one who appeals at these weights is SPARROW HAWK who looks good for this distance despite the age and a very poor trainer.
SPARROW HAWK-BLACK PHANTOM
2. CONGRATS is a contender for Oaks, the last two wins were impressive. HIGHLAND CROWN has won his two races impressively, has good breeding to make it three in a row as the handicap favors.
HIGHLAND CROWN-CONGRATS
3. PALERMO is still a maiden at 7 years age, can not be fancied to win . PURE DEVOTION has a good rider repeating the ride. CAN CAN ran a good mock race, has not run for long but looks to upset. ADAM’S PLEASURE has come down in scales, he is the other candidate for win at longish odds.
CAN CAN-PURE DEVOTION-PALERMO
4. GAME OF POWER can improve upon the 5th in last run against four year olds. ASCELEPION appears to be fit, may win in this lot. CARAMEL is at an ideal handicap to run a good race. ADALLIA is being scrubbed in works.
ASCELEPION-CARAMEL-GAME OF POWER
5. CAPTAIN SMART is by a speedy mare and he is showing out in tracks. TITAN is by a precocious pr0ducing mare whose crops are very early winners. The full brother to ANGEL’S GLORY is notable in tracks and will run a forward race. FINFOOT folded back after a forward run last time, he is from a speedy sire. RIVER RULE is bred for more distance. SCENIC SILVER aptly named after the maternal sire SILVER HAWK is blistering in tracks, all have to catch her.

6. CLASSIC SPIRIT has been prepared and given a run. THE RIGHT MAN has come down in scales. VICTOR IVANOV is the upset candidate, back if bet upon by the connections. CENTRE OF ATTENTION has run with better types, appeals here.
CENTRE OF ATTENTION-CLASSIC SPIRIT-THE RIGHT MAN
7. OYSTER PRINCESS is good for sprints only, may not do well here. NIMBLE FEET who has not earned anything in last couple of years ran on board in last run. The jockey is an indication for a try now. ARKHOS is a game horse for this distance. ATHENA has been well prepared, gates and mock race etc show fitness. PRINCE LOCHINVA is the other one from the canny trainer who can run a good race at these scales.
NIMBLE FEET-ARKHOS-OYSTER PRINCESS
8. MRS JONES is from a speedy mare. ZEN has run max races, has the best credentials at comparison. BLACK PARTRIDGE has a poor breeding, appeals on handicap. FIRE QUEEN could not match up in last run, may improve.
ZEN-BLACK PARTRIDGE-MRS JONES
9. HIGHLAND BOUNTY is at tough handicap, can not win here. SIERRA VISTA is showing out in tracks, the dam was a black type winner over mid distances. BLADE RUNNER stepped up to beat MOONSTONE in a scurry, he has the class to repeat. MOONSTORM is by a failure sire, flopped after leading in last run.
BLADE RUNNER-SIERRA VISTA-MOONSTORM
10. ON MY WAY is well pedigreed, he is working well. HIGHLAND WARRIOR is a costly purchase who has been a big liability so far, may fight out under this top jockey. SIOUX CHIEF has been sharpened up well. This half brother to AASHIRWAAD should progress. SOLOR may run well.

- 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.
