MUMBAI RACES 30 DEC 2007
1.IMPERIUM may not stay the trip. EARL OF WARWICK is by the sire of sires, last time he was fancied by connections before being a non starter. KEMPINSKI won finishing on, the pedigree will like the distance.
EARL OF WARWICK-KEMPINSKI
2. RING BEARER is pretty consistent. TOOFAN MAIL was heavily wagered on and got beaten close home, looks good on paper. SARA JAHAAN is being steadily bought down, may surprise.
TOOFAN MAIL-RING BEARER
3. GAEA is a useful stayer who may like the stronger rider. WORLD WAR THREE is quite consistent over this trip. NITROUS has run with classic hopefuls, may go all the way. DREAMING has been very solidly prepared, the distance is ideal.
GAEA-DREAMING
4. AMARANZA finished on as a notable 3rd last time. THE RIGHT MAN was an eye catching 3rd in one of his runs this season, the rider is better today. ARABIAN POWER may place.
AMARANZA-THE RIGHT MAN
5. SUCCESSOR managed to hold on as a hot favorite as KIARA was not in the race initially, later she could not match strides with the very impressive RED ROMEO . The tracks are very good. QUEENS GUEST has the very impressive sprinter blood lines & knowing the panache of the owner for big & well endowed events all have to beat her. SYNERGETIC may improve.
QUEENS GUEST-SUCCESSOR
6. COUNCIL OF THE GODS has not been able to win despite being favored last two times, may be C Rajendra can hold his early keenness. RED CLOUD is coming down the scales. FAIR TACTICS has been blazing the tracks. HERE COMES THE DON may warm up to it.
FAIR TACTICS( days best)-COUNCIL OF THE GODS-RED CLOUD
7. DIEGO RIVERA was a surprise winner last time who retains form, may stay the trip. GRUEZI has been the most improved four year old, may find it difficult to defy the penalty. DREAM DESTINY has been well prepared. HUGO BOSS looks good on handicap, can place. SPINOZA was a notable runner last time. MOUNTAIN BEAR is one of those who is going to surprise soon.
DREAM DESTINY-GRUEZI-HOGO BOSS
8 HEIFITZ has the potential to improve, his first run was very suggestive of his potential. ARKHOS is a useful handicapper, may be tried. CARLOS was a good 2nd to SCHNELL who later trounced the field in higher class. OYSTER PRINCESS maintains form.
CARLOS-HEIFITZ-OYSTER PRINCESS
9. ASCELIPION has run close to better horses, the tracks indicate preparedness for the winning effort. GYPSY QUEEN may run a forward race. CHIEF’S WARRIOR was once 2nd at Pune . RAGE OF ANGELS was a good 2nd despite a slow getaway. VARUN appears improved in tracks.

Blogs of Note
- 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.

FAIRYTALEENDING FOR HEMAVATHI CUP
Saturday, December 29, 2007BANGALORE RACES 29 DEC 2007
1. GLORY BOUND is full brother to speedy trio of BECKHAM, YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL & RED MULLET. The tracks are impressive. PRINCE VILLE is half brother to Bangalore Derby winner Fantabulous King, the sire is average. He ran on board under a work jockey & now with the top jockey atop, all have to contend with him. SOLITARY CHAMP& RARE & PRECIOUS have the benefit of useful runs. The later appears better in tracks also. SEVEN STAR is working well. FELICITAD is OK in tracks.
PRINCE VILLE-RARE & PRECIOUS-GLORY BOUND
2. COUELLE may exploit weight allowance .YOU & I has been prepared by Appu himself in tracks, will run well. LAND OF SMILES & LATIN TWISTER are at low weights in this very poor field.
YOU & I-COUELLE-LATIN TWISTER
3 ARABIAN MEMORIES was an impressive winner who is neutralizing the handicap with an allowance jockey. BRAVE ARJUN has run with better horses. KEMROCK is a failed favorite. CALLISTA is blazing the tracks, the choice of rider by this non performing trainer who is not doing any justice to his owner is most intriguing. R Marshall will only ride out if KEMROCK is not in business.
ARABIAN MEMORIES-KEMROCK-CALLISTA
3. FLAMING LAMBHORGINI was given a poor ride by the rider last time as it was not in the fray. The horse should win comfortably if ridden well. ALLONIA has been prepared 7 given a run. ALCHESAYE retains form. LORD OD ILLUSSION was a good 2nd & is tracking well. MY FRIEND PAUL had beaten L OF ILLUSSION comprehensively in their maiden run.
FLAMING LAMBHORGINI-LORD OF ILLUSSION-ALLONIA
4. IMPERIAL VIEW has run on & off , his 2nd to Derby contender SOUTHERN CHARGE is noteworthy. FAIRYTALENDING is working pleasingly ,can upset. STAFIRE won a hard ridden race, maintains form. DARE DON ran out of gas last week, may not place.
FAIRYTALEENDING-IMPERIAL VIEW-
5. ASCOT LADY lost out after looking like a winner last time, the stronger rider may punch her through. REGAL MUSIC is in fine form. KORPORATE is impressive in works. TURBO BABE has come down a lot. ZAFAR is tracking well ,should place. KIOKO was a forward runner last time.
ASCOT LADY-ZAFAR-TURBO BABE

SUGAR BLAZE FOR KRISHNARAJA TROPHY
Friday, December 28, 2007BANGALORE RACES 28 DEC 2007
1.NON STOP CANNON is by speedy CHILLI LADY, may improve on his maiden run. ONE has a staying pedigree, the dam having won over 1800m, the tracks are OK. ANNA’S QUEST is by a very average sire, but the tracks are very suggestive, can win in this unprepared group. ORIGINALITY is top bred, with benefit of a run it may win if tried.
ANNA’S QUEST-ONE-ORIGINALITY
2. PRET A PORTE is showing out on track but very sharp on handicap. SOUTH STAR has often failed under B Prakash, the better Irish jockey may get that bit extra. SWIFT FIRE may not stay. ARABIAN KNIGHT was an impressive 2nd to WONDER SMILE, looks good here.
ARABIAN KNIGHT( Days Best)-SOUTH STAR
3. MAAHI VE has been consistent, the rider will be all out on it .COMMAND PERFORMANCE has been scrubbed on the tracks right through Mysore season and is working well, can place. EVERYTHING NICE is tracking well. DON’S DELIGHT was good in gate practice, it comes much better than C PERFORMANCE on handicap.
DON’S DELIGHT-MAAHI VE-COMMAND PERFORMANCE
4. DIAMOND HUNTER is a good type sprinter, his late 2nd to PASTICHE puts him in reckoning. UPPER CRUST may not be able to defy the penalty. SUGAR BLAZE lost out narrowly last time, the tracks are noteworthy & handicap very suggestive.
SUGAR BLAZE-UPPER CRUST
5. SCIMITAR ran well at Hyderabad amongst better rated horses & comes into reckoning in this class. BLINK is impressive in tracks & will like the distance, his Mysore Derby run puts him in contention here. VAN DER STAR may like the drop in distance. SOUTHERN CHIEFTAIN was hard ridden 2nd last time, appeals on pedigree.
BLINK-SCIMITAR-SOUTHERN CHIEFTAIN
6. ON A ROLL placed both times, can win. SPECIAL GESTURE is by a non performing sire, may place. SHE’S SPECTACULAR is showing out in works. LITTLE SPLENDOUR is speedy, will like the trip.
