MUMBAI RACES
1. KALINGA STAR has distance in favor, top weight makes the going tough for win. HONEY BEE finished well in last run, trip is an issue. LAST TANGO may not last the distance , has a handicap chance though. MONEY FOR NOTHIN was not in the hunt as a favorite, may deliver if odds are good. ADAM’S PRINCE is bound to be in the fray here.
MONEY FOR NOTHIN-ADAM’S PRINCE-KALINGA STAR.
2. ZORBA has a rider who may place in the suspect field. LAKE ONTARIO gets a try jockey for first time and will be ridden out, can win. CAPTAIN SMART was taken to front but could not last out as a favorite. ALEUZIAN ZONE should do well with the try jockey.
LAKE ONTARIO-ALEUTIAN ZONE-CAPTAIN SMART.
3. ARTIC MINSTREL has a chance, shorter trip would have been ideal. SECRET SERVICE has run with better company, tracks are encouraging. HILLS AND HEIGHTS blew the opposition away as a good gamble in last run under a work jockey, needs to be followed. PURPLE PATCH was kept too far behind in last run, may have been a ploy.
HILLS AND HEIGHTS-SECRET SERVICE.
4. TOWERING HIGH can place in the weak field . BARTIMEUS can go all the way if ridden to win. ORIENTAL SAPPHIRE has not lived upto the high breeding, the trainer tries out his horses with out bothering for the handicap etc. PRINCE got beat by an aged horse in last run, may be fancied on that count.
BARTIMEUS-PRINCE-TOWERING HIGH.
5. ADAM’S VISION has beaten ENCORE in a sprint before, but has he been prepared for the extra 200 yards is the question. ENCORE should be able to exploit the finishing effort of last run. BATHSHEBA finally gets to run a race, has been tracking for months. STAR MOUNTAIN is working well.
ENCORE-ADAM’S VISION-STAR MOUNTAIN.
6. LAKE PARADISE is a failed favorite, looks in fine condition from works. ASTAPI comes out on top on comparison, can get the trip. SLEDGE HAMMER is in top form and will try to go all the way in his long striding style.
ASTAPI-SLEDGE HAMMER.
7. ASCOT MAGIC has worked nicely. STAR MOUNTAIN is a well bred half brother to GRUEZI., looks prepared. KISMAT is from a over hyped sire , but he is full brother to the very impressive black type THE HURRICANE, tracks are suggestive. SERENA will fight out here, may go very close.
KISMAT-SERENA-ASTRO MAGIC.
8. MOUNTAIN REGIMENT was a runaway winner who looks to repeat. ROYAL HONOUR finished on to just pip the leader in last run, has scope for improvement. CAPITANO has been loosing too often, handicap is catching on. MOUNTAIN TREASURE is fast in works.
MOUNTAIN REGIMENT-CAPITANO-ROYAL HONOUR.
9. DIANI is yet a maiden who has a try rider. MOUNTAIN PRINCE is a failed favorite who looks much improved. MOONSCAPE flopped when backed, needs another look. LAKE VIEW is running after good works. LAURUS PRIDE can place with a forward run.
MOUNTAIN PRINCE-MOONSCAPE-LAURUS PRIDE.

- 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.
