- 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.

STAR EMPIRE FOR HDFC TROPHY

DIAMOND HUNTER FOR THE BTC TROPHY
Saturday, December 5, 2009BANGALORE RACES
1. STATESMAN is by a freshman sire, the gate practice was forward and the colt may run well with the second string jockey. MAKE MY DAY has shown lots of eagerness as is with most horses of this trainer in morning tracks, should be in the reckoning. APRILLIA appears to be the most forward one and being by the best sire nowadays she should be the top contender . The elders COLONEL DUFF & LADY DUFF are good sprinters. JUNO is very forward in tracks and this full brother to DOLCE VINO who won well yesterday has a good chance to upset.
APRILLIA-JUNO-MAKE MY DAY
2. GORDIAN KNOT has the benefit of a run and rider switch. SADDLE QUEEN has taken time to train and cannot be backed irrespective of the rider. MIND ME is unreliable, may run well. SPREAD A SMILE has a fair chance being an aged horse.
GORDIAN KNOT-SADDLE QUEEN-SPREAD A SMILE
3. AMAR PREM has tracked well. The trainer and jockey combination struck yesterday and now we have SHE’S A LADY who has a decent chance. BLACK BEAUTY may run a forward race. GRAND TOPAZ needs this run.
SHE’S A LADY-BLACK BEAUTY-AMAR PREM
4. CART WHEEL ran a forward race before going down. MARCEGALIA hits the front and goes away and hence can do it again with the full allowance jockey. SUGAR RAY is the best on handicap with a good jockey. LOGAN’S RUN has come down by many points, may be tried now. ALCMENE has to show some form to win.
SUGAR RAY-CART WHEEL-LOGAN’S RUN
5. SUNNYLAND appears to be getting into some form. CLOLOUR OF JOY should build upon the last run after some good tracks. HIGH GLEAM doesn’t appeal on basis of very ordinary work by second string jockeys. CORLEONE has worked well, has not run for long. GIVE ME THE MONEY may place.
COLOUR OF JOY-CORLEONE-SUNNYLAND.
6. DIAMOND HUNTER ran a good 3rd to PALAZZIO’S SON and the latest track was awesome, the rider is in dumps. ORIGINALITY flopped at Hyderabad, may improve. SALSERA is looking fresh in tracks, the jockey can deliver.
DIAMOND HUNTER-SALSERA
7. DANTE’S PEAK was finishing on strongly and with the added distance has the chance to win. ARABIAN MEMORIES is speedy one and may get on board. PAINT ME RED has to shed some weight before winning again. REFRESH belongs to a low rated trainer, the horse had won at these weights with this rider before. MOVIE QUEEN has been backward thru the Mysore season, may surprise.
REFRESH -DANTE’S PEAK- ARABIAN MEMORIES
8. RIVER ISLAND can deliver if he doesn’t choke. NEED OF THE HOUR was a noticeable finisher. SO MUCH MORE is a good type, may resume winning ways. DISTINCTLY AHEAD is unreliable. ASTOUNDING BLUE is being readied for a win.
SO MUCH MORE-NEED OF THE HOUR-RIVER ISLAND
DAYS BEST====COLOUR OF JOY

ILLUMINATE FOR CHAITANYA CHAKRAM TROPHY
Thursday, December 3, 2009MUMBAI RACES
1. EYE OF THE STORM has shown improvement in tracks, goes with a proper jockey and is bred to stay. GOLD BISCUIT is an unreliable type. ARISTOCRATICAL has incurred penalty for last win but maintains form. ORIENTAL MAGIC is working well. ETERNAL FLIGHT is a game old horse, can earn some money even here.
EYE OF THE STORM-ORIENTAL MAGIC-ARISTOCRATICAL
2. OCEAN WISH has been well prepared at Pune, looks fit. SERENITY is a well bred , although the dam has disappointed in breeding so far and the jockey has yet to justify his capabilities , the horse is tracking well enough to fight out. SUNLIGHT appears to be the most forward horse here, the dam was the winner of Indian Oaks. VIVA LA VIDA is a speedy one who has a good jockey, the last track looked like a red herring to me where she ran ahead by lengths.
SUNLIGHT-VIVA LA VIDA
3. IL DIVO had given hint of a win during Pune season, has been well tracked. MAJOR ROBERTS ran a good forward race last week, can trouble the field if ridden with confidence. ARES is a speedy type with a chance to get on board. ROYAL CROWN is tracking well, has the low weights.
IL DIVO-MAJOR ROBERTS
4. STRATHENDRICK is an unreliable horse, may run well. SCENIC SILVER is a speedy type who can run well. ATTILA has been extensively tracked, has won under this rider before. BLUMARINE is speedy with a pull in weights. MAJOR WAGER has come down in handicap.
ATTILA-BLUMARINE-SCENIC SILVER
5. FANTASTIC has no tracks, can sprint well with a better jockey than the last one who got him on board. MONK’S FERRARI is showing promise in tracks. ROSE OF TEXAS is working well. ROYAL GESTURE may upset as he has been given easy runs. TORRENTIAL has to be ridden well to win.
ROYAL GESTURE-TORRENTIAL-FANTASTIC
6. APPALINA had won well and may improve further as she is well bred. EAGLE MOUNTAIN was catching up with leaders in last run. EMPRESS OF INDIA is maintaining winning form after a surprise win. CHANAKYA has got the distance to worry about, he is tracking well. SHODAAN should like this trip, the last run was suggestive. STERILITZA is bred well with the best broodmare sire the world has seen, may need to run at lesser distance to prove.
SHODAAN-APPALINA-EMPRESS OF INDIA
7. BASKERVILLE has run with better types, has tracked well in Pune. BLACK FALCON impressed in gates. ILLUMINATE is pleasing in works and looks good on handicap. IL TABARRO ran green last time, should improve. JALSA showed out in a mock race.
ILLUMINATE-BASKERVILLE- IL TABBARRO
8. RATNAVALI is showing speed in works. ASHWA PRAHAR had warmed up to win a fighting finish, has a full allowance jockey now. OYSTER BLUE has not been tested so far, may be ON as he is from a betting stable. BAY DESTINY has come down the scales. THE FIRST LADY has failed often, lets see if the rider is as good as they say.
OYSTER BLUE-THE FIRST LADY-ASHWA PRAHAR
DAYS BEST===IL DIVO

ASHWA PRABHA-CHARG AWAY- DIVINE THUNDER
2. BLACK PARTRIDGE is in decent form. SARIR has been progressively trained, has a fighting chance with the fly in jockey. KOHINOOR BEAUTY has been given a number of tracks and a mock race. AMITY comes strongly into picture based on a much improved run in the 1000Guinneas.
AMITY-SARIR-BLACK PARTRIDGE
3. FLY AGAIN has been tracking after the last win. TOKAIDO is a game old horse who has won 9 times, may upset. POWER HOUSE has not done much so far. BEACH RAIN is a well bred who has a good rider after some preparation. STUNNING VIEW has not lived upto the fine breeding, has been scrubbed in works.
BEACH RAIN-STUNNING VIEW-TOKAIDO
4. HERO’S POWER belongs to a low grade trainer, has often taken down betting money of the public, looks prepared. JEWEL HUNT goes over the correct distance now. SUCCESSFUL DREAM has a strong rider after decent tracks. QUEEN OF SUN is moving fluently in mornings.
JEWEL HUNT-QUEEN OF SUN-HERO’S POWER
5. DANCING BEAUTY is retaining speedy display after the last fluent win. ASHWA PAARTH is a decent bred who impressed in mocks and is looking good in works. ODDS AND EVENS has taken time to train on, may run well.
ASHWA PAARTH-DANCING BEAUTY
6. EXOTIC STAR was raced over a wrong distance by the third grade trainer in last run. ASHWA PANAMA has been extensively prepared, the mocks was good. JOVIAL has been given runs to dupe the public, may surprise with the good jockey. OUEF TOUBA has the task cut out after couple of going away wins.
