MUMBAI RACES
1. SCARLATTI has raced a number of times without doing much. SOPHISTICATED has been extensively tracked for longer trips, the breeding is average. STAR TRACKER was an impressive winner who was relegated on objection, has odds to worry about.
STAR TRACKER-SOPHISTICATED.
2. FLASH FORWARD was a prominent runner last time and has a chance with this rider. LAZOR RAZOR has a good jockey to belt him once again. MOUNTAIN LION has been a fringe horse and has an allowance rider. BONNY LIGHT is the aged winner of 7 races who gets a good rider in a suspect field. MONEY STRIKE should strike now at low weights.
MONEY STRIKE-MOUNTAIN LION-BONNY LIGHT.
3. SNOW BLAZE has to worry about the trip, is bred for sprints. ARIANE is from a weak stable, may place on jockey’s efforts. SORRENTO appears to be punished for the last heart warming win, can not understand the urgency to race him so soon. INVICTUS impressed in mocks and the tracks are suggestive, the only thing is lack of race run.
INVICTUS-ARIANE.
4. OCEAN WISH is a good type, is looking fast from works. CLASS APART has form to go by. PURE ELATION was a good runner last time. INCOGNITO should have come up after the last outing. MARTINIQUE from the top stables was well prepared and did well at top weight, has a good chance here now.
MARTINIQUE-INCOGNITO.
5. SU CHALIYO was lack luster in last run, has always done well over a mile. WHITE KNIGHT is looking to find form, distance suits. BLING is on the up, has tough customers to face here.
SU CHALIYO-BLING.
6. DISTANT PROMISE is working well and has handicap chance. SACRE COUER has not raced for a year, appears to have got over the niggles and has worked very well. RIVER TERN may run on board. WELLS FARGO is likely to be tried today.
DISTANCE PROMISE-WELLS FARGO-RIVER TERN.
7. BORAK won in a weak field, looks tough for win here. FOREST LEGION is a speedy one and has impressed in gates. DESTINY won a hard fought race and will have to do well to merit here, has respectful pedigree. BLUE ACE was an impressive finisher in the multi million. Has improved to turn the tables on Destiny. CHICARITO is full sister to good type HAUNTING FANTASY and has been good in tracks. WINGS OF GLORY could not step up in G S P Million, can do well. ANAHI is a well bred who should be considered in a sprint.
BLUE ACE-DESTINY -FOREST LEGION.
8. A million race for oldies to pick up good stakes, the race is the one which is most open and any outsider can win. EMERALD VALLEY has always won 1000 metres only, has won in higher class. FLOODS OF FORTUNE needs more distance but the rider is good. ENDLESS HORIZON will be a serious contender, last win was easy with the rider looking back. MARINE ZONE is from a weak stable who can warm up. PTOLEMY has form and the best rider. ATHOS is the younger one at low weights with an experienced front riding jockey.
PTOLEMY-ENDLESS HORIZON-ATHOS.
9. BARTEMEUS can do well, has not lived upto the good breeding. CELSIUS is a failed favorite with a chance. MCQUEEN is from the stables which are giving winners every week. STRALIGHT MAGIC has never placed , has been sharpened up well. DANCING MONEY can win on backing.
DANCING MONEY-MCQUEEN-STAR LIGHT MAGIC.

- 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.
