Mumbai Races
1 GREEN VALLEY has run with better horses, was bet upon heavily & failed, the last run was bad hence not likely to win. SUPREME ORATOR needs this run. SEPIA TONE was a fair 3rd in Race 148 when BLACK HUSSAR was slowly away as the favorite. Maybe M Narredu can deliver as the field is poor. HYMN STAR may run on board.

2. DOUBLE EASE has been well prepared & given a run, can upset. LANDLORD may place again, belongs to a very ordinary trainer. POLAR GLOW was a good 3rd & can win in this set up. CINDRELLA MAN may place.

3. KNIGHT OF WINDSOR is bred in blue, the dam won a Derby & the half brother STAR OF WINDSOR won the Bangalore Derby,his last run where he finished an unwanted 2nd to the superior RAGHUVANSH & the positive jockey definitely give him a good chance. BEE QUICK is shaping extremely fast in tracks, the got abroad may go all the way. BLUE JAY is working well. STARLITE EXPRESS , a half sister to SIELLANS can run on board.

4. CAVARDOSI is half brother to BERLIOZ &AQUADISIAC, the tracks are positive. FLAMING ACE is by a good mare who had won 8 races in western India, the tracks are supportive & MAM can achieve a double in the 3 year olds. SECRET TALK is working well. SENTINEL is half brother to speedy MANI AT EIGHTY, it has capabilities. SADDLER’S STAR finished on as a good 2nd last time, the pedigree on distaff side is promising, The performance of the trainer & jockey is not encouraging.

5. ENGLEHART is in fine form. HAZELHEAD was a notable 3rd, a perusal of race 145 gives it a definite edge. AVEC PLAISIER won well, can repeat.The trophy is for the fine gentleman who raced most of his horses with the present trainer & his father B K Lagad, I am convinced that the trainer won't miss this chance to win this trophy on sentimental reasons.

6. TAKE ON is running after a lay off with no work. STAR’O WAR warmed up to win comfortably. OYSTER GEM has been fighting out for this betting stable all this season. GENERALISSIMO is going to win any day. RED DAWN or SIROCO may place.
GENERALISSIMO-OYSTER GEM-STAR’O WAR
RECOLLECTION may run well. HIDDEN DRAGON is likely to run a forward race as it has come down a class. STELLAR AFFAIR who won easy can repeat. MIRROR IMAGE is speedy & has an allowance jockey. KING OF THE RING was 4th in lower class, can be on board.

- 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.
