MUMBAI RACES
1. SOLSKJAER ran on to place under a weak jockey, the present jockey has flown from Delhi just for this ride. CLAS fought out but could not overhaul KAPATHOS, deserves another chance. REFUSE TO BEND has come down a lot, may surprise. AMARANZA warmed up late in last run, has a better jockey now.
CLAS-SOLKJAER-AMARANZA
2. CRESPO was a game runner while finishing 2nd in last run, the jockey is a novice. THUNDERING STAR has to earn his hay some day, being tracked now. STUD OF GOLD is a gamble horse, has won in higher class before. MISTER FIXIT is an aged horse who is capable of a forward run.
STUD OF GOLD-CRESPO-MISTER FIXIT
3. HUGO BOSS has been well prepared, the distance is ideal. CZAR ALEXANDER has been a failure, flops when fancied. MING is game for this distance. CALL TO ARMS is in fine form, the rider is good.
HUGO BOSS-CZAR ALEXANDER
4. BLACK FALCON is well prepared. IJLAL is tracking very well. GREAT WHITE is bred for distances, he is beating ARES easily in works. TRIGANCE is by the speedy mare, can win from the front.
TRIGANCE-GREAT WHITE-IJLAL
5. DANCING GLORY is a good horse with a trainer who is performing pathetically. RECARDO was way back at the bend but finished on with a purpose in last run, the jockey is worrisome. SWAHILLI is sparingly raced from a good mare trained by this very trainer, the preparation is suggestive. LA JOIE DE VIE ran poorly last time.
DANCING GLORY-RECARDO-SWAHILLI
6. COURAGE UNDER FIRE is in fine form. MYSTERIOUS HEIGHTS is tracking well, has run with good horses before. FEONA has a poor jockey. SUNBURST has an outside chance with the allowance jockey. DANCING BELLE has been given enough runs, can deliver a surprise with this try apprentice.
DANCING BELLE-MYSTERIUOS HEIGHTS-SUNBURST
7. ARISTOCRATIC was a good runner in VERSAKI’s maiden win, the tracks are excellent, should win. PRINCE BRIJENDRA is well bred but needs a run. RIVER BLITZ is bound to be in the fray after the last good run. ADRIANA has a task on hand, looks tough here. VENCE is bred for speed , may be tried in first run.
ARISTOCRATIC-RIVER BLITZ-VENCE
8. DIEGO RIVIERA has beaten most runners here giving weight convincingly except YANA who is a beaten favorite this season. YANA has been prepared well and can beat D RIVIERA who is best over a mile or so.COTSWOLD ARMS from the same trainer cum owner has run close to D RIVIERA on a couple of occasions, if fixed like the trend is with M Narredu he can continue to drown the public fancies by some old ploy like receiving a bad check or firing too early in the straight. MASEEHA has been a money spinner for the game owner.
YANA-DIEGO RIVIERA-MASEEHA
9. STEP BY STEP placed for first time, has an allowance jockey for a try. RESILIENCE belonging to the small time trainer has been denied winning opportunity in last two runs, if odds are good she should win well. UP NORTH was whipped but could not win, may be in the fray. WINGS OF ANGELS and MUSTANG SALLY have come down a lot.

- 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.
