MUMBAI RACES
1. ORADA comes into reckoning based on the 5th to SEA WARRIOR, has a good chance in this poor company. HEAVY MONEY is a four year old who has never been on board, the tracks are encouraging. UNTOUCHED has a rider switch with the experienced JODHA being given a chance. BORZU AGAIN has come down in scales and may surprise.
ORADA-BORZU AGAIN-HEAVY MONEY
2. DESTINED PRINCE has once won at a staying distance, the last run was good. FIRE VAULT has a good jockey, is tracking well and can win if the horse gets the trip. APACHE INDIAN is working well, has a foreign jockey. DIVINE MAJESTY is bred to stay, may deliver.
-FIRE VAULT-DESTINED PRINCE- DIVINE MAJESTY
3. ONUS PROBUNDI has won over 1000m twice, can get the added distance. BORN DESTINY has raced in higher classes, may run well. RIVER LASS is a youngster with a decent jockey. ANAMIKA belongs to a sly trainer, may run on board.
ONUS PROBUNDI-ANAMIKA-RIVER LASS
4. SEA WARRIOR was a good winner who is in fine form. BLUMARINE fought out and lost, the added distance may not help. STAR CROWNED is bred for speed, won a multi million last season but has been recovering from set backs, the mock race was suggestive. STARFALL has been given a run, goes over the ideal distance with a good jockey at low weights.
STARFALL-STAR CROWNED-SEA WARRIOR
5. Two horses from H N Mehta facing old rival MAM’s in form OUR FORTUNE. FLAMING ARROW had lost out while receiving weight in Pune, hence the hence forth untried ICE QUEEN may match up, remember her very good run just behind IL DIVO in a scurry at Pune. SLIK KIT belongs to a scheming trainer and may surprise.
ICE QUEEN-OUR FORTUNE-FLAMING ARROW
6. DANCING DYNAMITE is conceding weight over the extra distance and has a mediocre jockey. ICEBREAKER is the best performed and is well prepared. PHENOMENALE has a fighting chance based on the good preparation. MOTHER’S PRIDE is in contention based on the close runs and the ideal distance.
ICEBREAKER-PHENOMENALE-DESET DYNAMITE
7. STAR WARRIOR had impressed a lot in his maiden’s win and is in top form. KERINDINGAN is showing lots of speed in tracks and this sister to speedy types of BLUE DANUBE, MONOPOLY and HEROISM must be an exciting prospect for the connections over this sprinting million. OCEAN’S WISH can place as the terms of the race favor winners of maiden races. PETRA is by the speediest mare, the last win was easy.
STAR WARRIOR-KERRINGDINGAN-PETRA
8. SAINT VINCENT had got stronger to pip whip less rider of LONE MONARCH in the last contest, the terms and the choice of riders now heavily favor the later. EMPRESS OF INDIA is looking good in works. VACHERON is a well bred who has come to hand..
LONE MONARCH-SAINT VINCENT-VACHERON
9. EL TROPICO is tracking very well and should be fighting out under this most improved rider. WHISPERING WILLOWS may not be tried as is the trend with the trainer. HUNTER’S BAY has raced forward at Pune, may be given a try. JALSA can make a race if gates don’t trouble. PERGRINE FALCON is speedy and may place. HONEYDAY is at low weights to worry the field.
EL TROPICO-HUNTER’S BAY-HONEYDAY
DAYS BEST====STAR WARRIOR
DOUBLE======STARFALL X LONE MONARCH

- 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.
