MUMBAI RACES
1. SOLOR was a very easy winner in its last run, it has now been entrusted to a winning type allowance jockey and may be trying to repeat for the very average trainer. CHAMBERLAIN is the most tracked horse here . The mute question is that in the last race the odds on this horse had been hammered down and those of HIGHLAND GLORY had soared. None of these ran on board though the general impression was that Grant was not ON that day. HIGHLAD GLORY is definitely better bred and has been well tracked, should be fancied by the connections now. SABA had failed in Pune as a favorite , the change of name not withstanding can not be fancied in first run here.
HIGHLAND GLORY-CHAMBERLAIN-SOLOR
2. LONE MONARCH had given glimpses of forwardness in tracks, the last run under Rajendra was disappointing. SNOW QUEEN by the non winning well bred mare ITHICA looks good here based on her last run, the latest work was good. SEA ANGEL has run a bit further behind the winners, the breeding and the jockey give her an outside chance. TARA is sister to LIGHTNING CAVALARY, Narredu has been tracking her.
SNOW QUEEN-SEA ANGEL
3. A staying race with the inform MR GREEDY likely to contest with MILES AND MORE the Razeen gelding for the title. MR GREEDY had won in style and may just put it across at this distance which may be a bit short for MILES AND MORE. SKYWARDS appears to be getting into form , THRE COSMOPOLITAN is a hunch back who may run well under the competitive rider.
MR GREEDY-MILES AND MORE
4. Fillies only here and except for two ,most running for first time hence pedigree, preparation and riders are important inputs. CANDY FLOSS is bred for speed, the rider is poor. CHOTEE BEGUM who impressed in last track is sister to black type LOMBARDIA. The mock race just behind the last week winner SWAHILLI is a positive factor. Out of the Jodha couple PERGRINE FALCON has the run to credit and the rider is likely to go for a forward race. VIOLETTA is full sister to black type PERPETUITY, the breeding needs distance, the rider is not tops, the preparation is fine.
CHOTEE BEGUM-VIOLETTA-PERGERINE FALCON
5. WAR OF ATTRITION is likely to be the favorite as it had finished on wide just a bit late over a scurry. Now the foreighn jockey and a morer suitable distance give him an edge, the draw back is that he was a roarer in younger days and may choke. GOLDEN SPURS was in betting order in last run and the gates should have helped. RUBIDIUM is sparingly raced and has the capability to win from the front due to low weights. HERE COMES THE DON may surprise as the rider would be cocky aafter his good double at Delhi yesterday.
RUBIDIUM-WAR OF ATTRITION-GOLDEN SPURS
6. It was difficult to pick as to who would be the favorite in this race, leave aside the winner prediction. POLARISER, NOTABLE RUNNER, ANYTIME MONEY and THE REBEL are all sprinting types with NOTABLE RUNNER being winner of three races, POLARIZER the most lost case, failing always. My pick here is TOP ACTION who has run with some very good horses and has been placing with higher class horses. AMARANZA has been warming up late to run into place money and may do so again at this handicap.
TOP ACTION-NOTABLE RUNNER-AMARANZA
7 Now this is a race in which no horse has credentials to win The hopeful ones are SHODAAN who has been sparingly raced and has the benefit of a mock race . ZIPPITY ZIP has run on board when not expected, the rider is doing well this season over staying trips. ES SIDER has been an expensive failure so far. MUSICAL RHYTHM , FOREST NATIVE and ARISTOCRATICAL have run close to one another with out creating any flutters. FOREST NATIVE ran suggestively in last run and may show improvement , the canny M Narredu has a job on hand to win here. Good race for having a negative bet.

- 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.
