MUMBAI RACES
PS-A very mediocre racing card is to be gone through with bunch of ordinary horses participating. Watch out for Antia and H N Mehta’s horses as they have a habit of winning in doubles.
1.ZIPPITY ZIP was heavily punished to get on frame in last run. PAPER KING was a hot favorite by default a couple of months back, he will win at good odds some day. AMERICAN IDOL has been very well prepared by this lower level trainer. ABOVE ALL has a strong jockey.
AMERICAN IDOL-PAPER KING-ABOVE ALL
2. GOLDEN GRACE comes into reckoning based on the easy 4th in last run. SIOUX CHIEF is a failed favorite with a full allowance jockey. BLACK PARTRIDGE was kept back in last race, can run a forward race. RESILIENCE was a flying finisher under this aged jockey last time, the connections can not be trusted to try again. DANGEROUS BELLE who has been given a run appeals on Pune runs.
DANGEROUS BELLE-SIOUX CHIEF-GOLDEN GRACE
3. HIDDEN DRAGON won a start to finish mission in last run. THE BRAVE HEART is the other aged horse who can go all the way. HEIFITZ has really come down the slide, the field is so mediocre that he won’t get it this easy again. SEPIA TONE is capable of running start to finish. ARABIAN PRIDE may run a forward race.
HEIFITZ-THE BRAVE HEART-HIDDEN DRAGON
4. BLAZING SPEED was a good 3rd who can win here. ENCOURAGEMENT held on to win in the last scurry from WAR OF ATTRITION who finished on a bit late. PACEMAKER has a try allowance jockey to go all the way.
BLAZING SPEED-PACEMAKER-WAR OF ATTRITION
5. TELSTAR is maintaining good form in works. THANDA was a good gamble after being pulled by the canny Narredu, should run well again. LIGHTNING CAVALARY is a stayer who has won at these weights before. FOREVER AMBER is at ideal handicap, the distance suits.
FOREVER AMBER-TELSTAR-THANDA
6. AZUL is half brother to ROSE BOWL , he has been well prepared, the mock race should have brought him on. FIRST EMPIRE is a well bred who showed out in gates, the trainer has no confidence as the rider is weak. ADRIANA has been given a couple of easy gates. PRINCE OF TROY ran a good race, should show improvement. DIVINE GRACE was notable in mock race. HEREAFTER ran a good 2nd, this well bred should win comfortably now. RIVER RULE is a place hopeful. SARDINIA is a mediocre bred who is tracking well.
HEREAFTER-PRINCE OF TROY-RIVER RULE
7. CAN CAN is a gamble horse, the last run was an improvement. JOLTEON ran a forward race. UP NORTH has been subjected to good preparation, the jockey is going to force the issue. ORIENTAL JEWEL has been kept in check, may surprise.
UP NORTH-ORIENTAL JEWEL-CAN CAN
SHOULD BET====HEREAFTER and FOREVER AMBER
CAN BET=======BLAZING SPEED
MAY BET=======AMERICAN IDOL

- 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.
