MUMBAI RACES
I am a bit sentimental about pedigrees which involve me a lot in my spare time. Today GUMBARU ETSU(USA) is prominent in the races. All four of her racing fit produce are involved today. OYSTER COVE, LAGO MEDIO,OASIS STAR & INSITE SOUL( son of INFINITE, daughter) are in the fray. All have a good chance to score. One can plan a three way roll.
1.ABSOLUTE REALITY is half brother to useful YES ES YES SEZ . FLUENT VICTORY is speedy. IKARIA a half brother to AVEC PLAISIER was an eye catching 3rd to RED ROMEO, WILL BE HARD TO BEAT. LONE SENTINEL is improved. STAR SPEED is full brother to Sprinter trophy winner BLUE HORIZON & useful PREMIER STAR.
IKARIA-LONE SENTINEL-ABSOLUTE REALITY
2. ATHENA finished from last position to stun the favorite, the top jockey may defeat the stiff penalty. QUEEN’S COURT was a good 2nd. KAI will be involved for the title. PREMIER QUEEN appeals at these weights as she is very well bred.

3. CHAR DIN has improved much & is blazing the tracks. FLASHING FLAME faded out after shaping as a winner. PEBBLE BEACH is by a flop sire but has handicap advantage.

4. BORN TO LEAD is fast. INTIMACY showed tremendous speed to win easily. PACE MAKER will lead till the final stages. OYSTER GEM just could not get up to it last time.

5. CAVARDOSI is half brother to BERLIOZ & AQUA DISIAC . INSITE SOUL looks improved. SOUTHERN SUMMIT will like this trip. RATTLE may place. VANTAGE may improve.

6. OYSTER COVE is knocking for a win since long. EVATINA is shining in tracks, this may be her last run prior to be off for breeding. ADAM’S STAR is a game horse. ATMOSPHERE has run some amazing races.

7. ALVARITA should run better than in her last run when she did not get a clear passage. LIVORNO can improve. PENINSULA is bred to stay. SWEEPING SUCCESS stole a win last time, will have to stay, the breeding is not for distance. YANA is full sister to Derby winner & may raise her level.

8. HAZEL HEAD is bound to improve on her last run. ENGLEHART is tracking fast. OASIS STAR was an eye catching 4th in 1OOOG, will be hard to beat in a sprint. AVEC PLAISIER likes to sprint, will try to get away fast.

9. MARMARIS is a failed favorite. ASTRO BOY can upset. MELBA is tracking well. VARUN is being readied for a coup.

- 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.
