DELHI RACES
1. FIRST N IMPRESSION is at a stiff handicap with a very average jockey. PAINTED BOY won well and has the allowance jockey for a repeat. SANGREAL is a bit improved, the tracks are fine. BERYL raced in front last time, may run on board in higher class.
PAINTED BOY-SANGREAL-BERYL
2. JEWEL HUNT is a failed favorite who is working well, the jockey is a dampener. KOHINOOR EMPIRE ran a very encouraging 4tyh against better horses, has a very good chance. SUBROOS is improved, should be in the fray. FLY AGAIN has a place chance.
KOHINOOR EMPIRE-SUBROOS-JEWEL HUNT
3. QUEEN AMEDALE is tracking well, has a non try jockey. HERO’S POWER has been denied free runs, the jockey is known for some very blatant pull rides. ASWA PRABHA is again a candidate for place. THE PRAETORIAN has come down a lot, may be an end of the season gamble for the top stable.
THE PRAETORIAN-QUEEN AMEDALE-HERO’S POWER
4. QUALITY ASSURANCE is maintaining form. BLACK CHETAK is a very speedy type. ASHWA PANAMA is a candidate for hat-trick, has a stiff penalty to defy. REAL QUEEN has run with better types, may upset.
QUALITY ASSURANCE-ASHWA PANAMA-BLACK CHETAK
5. BISMARK is one of the end of season types, it had won under this very rider at the fag end of last years season, may do so again. AFREEN is in good form. ENDLESS STRIDES may overcome his deformities to run on board. DAZZLING LIGHT is tracking well.
BISMARK-ENDLESS STRIDES-AFREEN
6. SOLITARY MAN has been consistent, needs a stronger riderthough. DIVINE THUNDER has come down in class. LITTLE CUT is in winning form. TAPIS is catching the eye in works.
SOLITARY MAN-TAPIS-DIVINE THUNDER

- 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.

Dear Sharat Sharma,
It needs a lions heart to review own performance & accept the true but pinching critisim done by others.
I believe being an Ex. Service Men You have a big heart.
We all know " Every Work Is Not Within The Capacity Of ALL " You must be very successfull in some other field but certainly not in the line of selection for Horse Racing Field.
I donot want to let you down, but it is a fact based on long and continuous OBSERVATION.
You may argue tha many a time your 1st. selection has WON or on board, but please check that it is a common selection given by all moast all (Mostly Fav.)
When Ever Fav is out of board you are also failed.
At a few moment you have given your selection which is different than other commonn selection and you very well know that selection has nnever come in board.
My Dear friend, There is a serious need of change in your WAY OF SELECTION. I know it is a herculien task and at least I cannot do it.
If You also find it difficult please take Your Own Decission, Why To Continue?
The above is a fact meant for improvement and by no means to heart your sentiment.
With Regards.
Surendra Prasad Sao

Dear Mr SAO,
Predicting or forecasting winners in racing is based mainly on handicapping. Favorites are decided by the book makers who are good handicappers themselves, and not by the turf club authorities or the betting public. Betting on favorites or eating / avoiding the favorite is the name of the game. Fancying long shots is the sure way to burn a hole in ones pocket, you may win only once in a while .
2. Race books like COLE, BOL , VEL etc have been selling for years and if one was to deduce the percentage of winners predicted it would be around 30-40% in almost all cases. This % is considered good in racing parlance and if one can get these figures at an average he has the hang of racing.
3. There are a number of blogs and people who tip only wild fancies, try following them for a while or follow the percentage people and then judge for yourself how it effects your pocket.
4. I try to give out my views without reference to any race books or odds, it just happens that my method may be similar to the race books etc. I feel that I may be average in predicting winners but when a favorite is not tipped by me it generally fails to win.
5. I post my views after going through the inputs and often I am short of time because it is always a rush against time, sometimes one is not very clear.
6. I cant say how good I was when in service, that is besides the point, but today I feel I can help anyone seeking any type of info on Indian racing and breeding, try me if you ever need any help or if you intend to buy a race horse.
Thanks for the advise, let me see how I can improve.
