MUMBAI RACES
1. ILLUSIONIST was rushed too early and lost as an on money favorite, the rookie jockey has a task on hand. FRENCH KISS was an easy finisher in FLARING SON ’s race, has the correct rider now. DUTCH ART is by a good mare, the trainer doesn’t track his horses ,that gets him good odds at times. HIGHLAND QUEST may run better at this distance. NONIOS needs to be given another chance.CHOPSANI should win some day.
FRENCH KISS-NONIOS-DUTCH ART
2. FOREST FLAIR could not catch up up with the so far best juvenile VERSAKI, hence he looks to be a good bet here. SEA TREASURE won well, has to fight out. LUSTY is half sister to WAR CHILD , she is being scrubbed in tracks. LYRICAL LASS is full sister to BELLA, has an encouraging pedigree, may run a good race.
FOREST FLAIR-SEA TREASURE-LYRICAL LASS
3. CHEVRON who does not run two consistent races was a runaway winner, the distance will suit him. MATATA PRIDE has improved with each run, the trip should suit this well bred. FLARING SON looks difficult over a trip, the bloodlines are for sprinting, but who knows?
MATATA PRIDE-CHEVRON
4. RED INDIAN has plenty of speed to go all the way. FLAMING ACE who is well prepared is at a stiff handicap[. ATHENA covered ground to be a good 2nd. ROMANTIC IMPACT is due for a win, the low weights may suit.
ROMANTIC IMPACT-RED INDIAN-ATHENA
5. DIVINE has the potential, has been held back. BELLA was a comfortable winner who is improved. GIANATASSIO had an easy run, looks at a good handicap. PATEK PHILLIPPE had impressed in Pune, why so much gap, the trainer can only answer.
GIANATASSIO-DIVINE-BELLA
6. SEA STORM with an ordinary jockey denied CZAR ALEXANDER to pass him, now with a clever and strong jockey he has the opportunity to fight once again at stiff handicap. SECRET PILGRIM was a comfortable winner who is fine trim.
CZAR ALEXANDER-SECRET PILGRIM
7. VERSAKI has the class and blood lines to win the top event as a favorite. GYPSY MAGIC who won a 1400m well at Bangalore has the services of a top fly in jockey. SHIEKHA blew away the field in a very fast race over a sprint, the blood lines are encouraging. QUEEN’S COLLECTION has worked well after coming here with a win at Bangalore. MIGHTY CRUSADER is full brother to STAR WAVE, he is most improved after the last hampered run.
VERSAKI-SHIEKHA-GYPSY QUEEN
8. GOT TO GO is working well. LA JOIE DE VIE is in fine racing form. CENTRE OF ATTENTION has a weak jockey. ITSRACINGAFTERALL with two mocks can go all the way. BOURBON QUEEN has broken the hearts of the connections many times, the trainer is known for spoiling well breds. HIGHLAND WARRIOR won in a poor field, has a chance to encore.
HIGHLAND WARRIOR-ITSRACINGAFTERALL-LA JOIE DE VIE
9. BORN DESTINY has come down in scales, he is working well. EXOTIC STAR has a positive rider switch. ARES is a very poorly named horse who is a poor finisher. KNIGHT OF WINDSOR and PSYCHIC POWER are two costly horses produced by classic type mares who have not nixed well with the controversial sire CHINA VISIT. Both horses have two mocks each, makes it an interesting event.
KNIGHT OF WINDSOR-ARES-BORN DESTINY
MUST BET=====FOREST FLAIR
SHOUD BET===GIANATASSIO and CZAR ALEXANDER
COULD BET==ROMANTIC IMPACT (B/W), VERSAKI
MAY BET====ITSRACINGAFTERALL and BORN DESTINY for place.

- 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.
