MUMBAI RACES
1. The last two runs of RULE OF LAW need to be ignored, he had run some suggestive races at Pune. TATTENHOE has run better than most horses here at some point or the other, the recent form is not encouraging. ALHOMORA may run a forward race under the rookie, can not be backed for win. HIGHLAND VISION has the best jockey, the last run should have bought her on.
HIGHLAND VISION-TATTENHOE-RULE OF LAW
2. MASEEHA won very easily over a trip, has to carry a load though. DESERT DUST won warding off, has a decent chance for encore. SKYWARDS is a total stayer who is going at low weights, may upset.
SKYWARDS-MASEEHA
3. CLASSIC STAR is in good form for a crack at hat trick. DANCING GLORY is a good type who won two impressive races last Mumbai season. ROSE BOWL is showing out in tracks, the last run needs to be ignored . PRETTY COMMISSION took down lots of confidently bet money in last run. CHIOS has the handicap edge, the jockey has a job on hand against some good ones in the field. SIERRA VISTA is very attractive in works, the last run was suggestive.
`ROSE BOWL-CLASSIC STAR-SIERRA VISTA
4. STEP BY STEP has the benefit of a gate practice after the easy run. MRS JONES is bred for speed, has a try jockey. NONIOS ran a very close race at Pune, may run well under the aging jockey. PHOSPHOR is still a flop.SECRET AFFAIR has the fly in controversial jockey.
MRS JONES-SECRET AFFAIR-NONIOS
5. CLARION CALL disappointed in last run as a favorite. ABSOLUTE REALITY appeals on the last run. STUD OF GOLD is due for a win. GAME OF POWER was an encouraging 4th. ZEN appeals on handicap.
STUD OF GOLD-ZEN-CLARION CALL
6. CLASSERVILLE comes into reckoning based on PBMM run, but it is conceding 3 kgs. CAMBRIOSSO is well bred who ran a good 2nd, has been prepared. RIVER CHIEFTAIN , half brother to STAR PRESENTATION was a good winner who is maintaining form.
RIVER CHIEFTAIN-CLASSERVILLE
7. SPITZ is a good sprinter who has improved with each run. FEET OF FLAMES has been well prepared. STAR IMPACT was a very comfortable winner who can do well again. ROMANTIC IMPACT should have won last time, unfortunately the weak rider is repeated.
FEET OF FLAMES-ROMANTIC IMPACT-SPITZ
8. CAPTIVATING is a good type winner of three races who has to contend with new and dry terrain of Mumbai , can not be backed . HARMONICA was given a loosing race and yet managed to win with a good turn of foot, has to be in the reckoning. RIVER BLOSSOM ran a forward race in PBMM, has an outside chance here. THE PEARL is the best bred, well prepared filly who veered out in last run.
THE PEARL-CAPTIVATING-HARMONICA
9. LAGO MEDOI is at a suitable handicap for upset. PEPE JUNIOR, SPICA and SHYBOY have run close to each other in the last couple of runs, any one can get the finish earlier.
PEPE JUNIOR-SHYBOY-SPICA
10. BOLD BABE was good 2nd, has the same jockey repeating. ADAM’S LAW was an easy winner who is well rested. FASCINATION surprised all with last win, can not be considered for repeat as the field is tough now. KAPATHOS is a speedy type, can win only if not a favorite under this canny rider. CLAS has been mock racing, may run well.

COULD BET====RIVER CHIEFTAIN and KAPATHOS

- 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.
