MUMBAI RACES
A repeat of last week’s racing appears to be the likely outcome of racing here. After a continuous line of favorites winning on last Saturday, Sunday was dominated by winners at longer odds. Yesterday saw 5 winners who were public fancies and the two who got beat were very nearly there. Today the card looks very intriguing, lots of small time owner/ trainers have chances to score, so blindly following money may not be a wise thing to do.
1. Antia’s ABOVE ALL has a chance to score as it was beaten by a well camouflaged better horse in last run. SOLID ROCK is the other one who has a chance to run a better race as it is knocking to run into money. SECRET AGENDA has a weak jockey after placing in last run. LADY TROOPER had won under this jockey over this distance a long time back. The aging ETERNAL FLIGHT had shocked a good couple of years back, may surprise. GREY ISLAND is the best on handicap but has not run through out the season so best to ignore for now..
ABOVE ALL-SOLID ROCK-LADY TROOPER
2. PACIFIC ZONE is capable of going start to finish under this try jockey. ARABIAN GUEST is tracking well and has a decent jockey. My choice is VARUN who belongs to a gambling stable who is showing some interest in wagering lately on brought down horses. If ridden in front VARUN who has been tracked well has a chance. The bottom weighted VICEROY was very much in demand in last run.
VARUN-PACIFIC ZONE-VICEROY
3. BASKERVILLE raced well in the multi million, looks in fine trim from the track. STAR ALLIANCE is full brother to NOBLE KINGDOM, the rider is disappointing. SEA QUEEN from the top stable has been promising in its runs, has a decent chance to win now with the top jockey. SI OMO NO is full brother to ARKTOUROS , has been well tracked.
SEA QUEEN-BASKERVILLE
4. GOLDEN KINGDOM was beaten by a superior winner in last run. CHIEFTAIN has been entrusted to a weak jockey, chances of winning at this distance are bleak. MARINE ZONE lost the last race due to a feeble ride, can make amends for that failure. RAN BANKA can win from the front, has weight advantage.
MARINE ZONE-RAN BANKA-GOLDEN KINGDOM
5. CATALYST is in forward form. FIRED UP is one of those end of the season types, the tracks are good. WAHY had been a very impressive winner in Pune, the last run should have brought him on. GATRAVAT is working well and can upset at the low weights though the rider is not strong.
WAHY-GATRAVAT-FIRED UP
6. GLOBAL SPIRIT had warmed up to thrash the field over a scurry, can win again. SLIK KIT who was pulled when running as a favorite in Pune, managed to hood wink all and won last time with the rider looking back, this small time trainer has a decent horse who can earn more money for them. ALASKA from the sleeping stables has a chance to upset. SNOWDEN failed with the high named imported riders, N RAWAL has a poor record of winning in sprints.
SLIK KIT-SNOW DEW-GLOBAL SPIRIT
7. It is a straight fight between the better bred ARISTOCRATICAL who was clinical in his last win and SMOKIN ACES who won easing up as a good type. For a chance the best stable for juveniles has got its task cut out.ARTS looks a 1000m type only.
SMOKIN ACES
8. A tough race to peruse, many hopefuls and handicap may be taken for a ride. On form PREMIER QUEEN has been doing well over this distance. THE RISING has a poor jockey though it has won at the highest handicap. WILD TEMPER needs a run, it will win early at Pune. NATIVE STARTEGY from Anti’s stable has been bought down and should be in betting order now. GENERALISSIMO is going to be tried. SIROCO looks capable of upsetting (if he gets out well from the starting stalls) at this handicap, the gate practice was encouraging.
NATIVE STARTEGY-SIROCO-PREMIER QUEEN
9. TSESEBE and FOREVER AMBER were both notable 2nds in their respective runs. TSESEBE looks a bit stiff handicap wise but is bred for such trips. ARBUDH has come to hand late and is likely to run a forward race. BORN SPECIAL is tracing well after placing.FORCE OF LAW was not disgraced in coming 4th to the good type TELSTAR.
FOREVER AMBER-ARBUDH-BORN SPECIAL

- 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.
