PUNE RACES
1. POUND FOOLISH has placed in all three runs, continues to be in contention in this class. NURAI was fancied by some in last run but was slowly away. DEVIL IN DISGUISE has the old combination of the trainer and rider, horse has been given mocks and is notable in tracks. MISCHEVIOUS Z was given a poor ride last time, has credentials to win on backing.SUZY WONG has the handicap to exploit.
MISCHEVIOUS Z –DEVIL IN DISGUISE-SUZY WONG
2. FIRE VAULT has got struck up at handicap. LIVING THE DREAM has been improving with each run, the distance is an issue. BORN SPECIAL goes over the ideal trip for this second string trainer.SUNLIGHT can not be considered in present form and that also over this trip.
BORN SPECIAL-LIVING THE DREAM
3. ORADA is the only one here who has won a race, has an in form jockey. TORCELLO placed for the first time and the allowance jockey has a decent bred to take home. RAJDOOT has tracked well, he is being scrubbed in works.RIO DEL REY has a chance if he jumps out well. DANCING MONEY has an allowance jockey to offset the penalty.
RIO DEL REY-TORCELLO-ORADA
4. EL TROPICO has done very well this season, looks dead on handicap. ARES is a speedy one who has been sharpened up in tracks. BLUE DANUBE has been backward so far, can bounce back. VIOLETTA is a top sprinting filly who is on the up. FOREVER YOUNG ran a pathetic race, was it a deliberate effort of the connections as the odds had drifted alarmingly or the horse has gone backwards will be known after this race.
VIOLETTA-BLUE DANUBE-ARES
5. RIVER BLITZ needs this run. SAINTS AND SINNERS was a comfortable wiiner of two races after heavy wagering in last season, has been tuned in for another kill. BRIGHT FUTURE has a chance to place. RAJASTHAN ROYALS retains fine form. MIDSUMMER KNIGHT was an eye catching finisher, has a decent chance.
SAINTS AND SINNERS-MIDSUMMER KNIGHT-RAJASTHAN ROYALS
6. OCEAN AND BEYOND is the talk horse, has been catching the attention of morning rail birds, has the breeding to fight out, runs first time and is conceding weight, can get beaten. BEYOND STARS who is another very well bred was most impressive winner over this trip all the way, only negative is the mediocre jockey and the inter link of the connections with the favorite. ELOISE has done well in Bangalore, should run well here though he is running first time here. LASSERE is a well bred who impressed in last win.
BEYOND STARS-OCEAN AND BEYOND-ELOISE
7. CAPE FERRET has been well prepared, why this jockey who has a very poor record here. OCEAN ODDESSEY is bred for speed and has been given a run. SUPREME FORCE has a chance here. DANCING GLANCES is by the very speedy mare, has shown out in works, was given a pulled ride in last run.
DANCING GLANCES-OCEAN ODDESSEY-CAPE FERRET
8. STAR TRAINER is a good type, he is tracking well and has been given a forward mocks. CAUSTIC FINALE has a poor allowance jockey, may run well. GATRAVAT is catching my attention here, has the looks of an up setter, a big negative is the trainer , who must be running his household on punting etc, his horses don’t come near money for years. ADMIRAL’S QUEST can do well at this handicap. FANTASTIC KINGDOM has worked well.
GATRAVAT-STAR TRAINER-CAUSTIC FINALE
9. RED CLOUD is down in class and the rider is being repeated. GREY PHANTOM had bolted by lengths before loosing out, can win if given a balanced ride. ARZAAN is being urged for response in works. CLAIM TO FAME has come to hand in last run, will fight for the prize with this rider.

- 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.
