PUNE RACES
1. LAST NIGHT SONNET got beaten by WINGS OF ANGELS who won again yesterday. The rider switch be noted. THE RIGHT MAN has come down in class, has won at these weights before. CHARLIE PARKER may surprise. JOHNNY BRAVO and BEACON LIGHT placed in last runs, may place again.
LAST NIGHT SONNET-THE RIGHT MAN-BEACON LIGHT
2. HEIFITZ looks a bit stiff on handicap. FIRANGIPANI had surprised with his two wins last year without any preparations, may have been quietly prepared. FIERY FOX returns after a long time of recuperation, the preparation is good, looks better class. WILD TORRANNADO has been in good form. WALKING TALL has been scrubbed up for the day. EL BUNDUQ is speedy.
WALKING TALL-FIERY FOX-WILD TORANNADO
3. RIO DEL REY has been very well prepared at Mumbai, the only run was in a million event. TITAN is full brother to speedy ANGEL’S FGLORY, looks good from the preparation. BRIGHT FUTURE is well bred who has an outside chance. CELTIC MANOR has not been tracked after last effort. ORION STAR is full brother to RAGING STAR, the tracks are speedy. ROYAL GESTURE has a bad draw, ran well ion last attempt.
TITAN-ROYAL GESTURE-RIO DEL REY
4. CRITICAL ACCLAIM is very well bred and should win in this class. SADDLER’S RULE should like this distance. SARAAH continues to fail to justify my faith that she is at a good handicap to win. STAR LITE EXPRESS will be tried after the last suggestive finish.
SARAAH- CRITICAL ACCLAIM-SADDLER’S RULE
5. RED ROMEO won as a very good type, retains form. ESCARVOS was an easy winner in last run. PEPE JUNIOR is at an attractive handicap. RUNNING BULL can place.
RED ROMEO-PEPE JUNIOR-RUNNING BULL
6. STAR IMACT has been given a run. FEET OF FLAMES ran a good 2nd. THE RISING should be fighting out once again. CAMEO won fighting, may improve. STRATHENDRICK is down in scales, may upset.
FEET OF FLAMES-STAR IMPACT-THE RISING
7. DUKE OF WINDSOR is working well. OH SO ROMANTIC was a fluent winner who has a chance to repeat. HIGHLAND GLORY should be looking to win after the last 3rd to a good type. KAPATHOS had won well with this rider at Mumbai, will be tried. BELLIGERENT is in fine form.
DUKE OF WINDSOR-KAPATHOS- HIGHLAND GLORY

- 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.
