BANGALORE RACES
Two big names in recent racing circuit belonging to the top owner of the country are contesting the feature event. Both these horse had flopped & gone off form in concluding portion of the winter season. It would be interesting to see how well they get back to winning form now. It would not be wise to suggest that one of them will win today aas in racing parlance form is a big factor when choosing winners.
SELECTIONS
1. TRAFALGAR SQUARE should come into contention based on the last run. It has won at these weights before. PRINCESS EMILY ran a forward race last time. WORD TO WORD placed first time hence has come to hand, if odds favor the trainer cum owner it should win easily as the pedigree is good. ROYAL FLYNN has been tracking well.
WORD TO WORD-TRAFALGAR SQUARE-ROYAL FLYNN
2. EXCELLENT SPEED won his first start in summers last year, the tracks indicate fitness, will fight out. LEAGUE;S APART has no tracks, only trainer knows its potential , the horse was a costly purchase which has been a failure so far. ALL MY COLOURS was given a soft ride as a favorite, it looks a good thing if ridden well. BULLISH LUCK is a place hopeful.
ALL MY COLOURS-EXCELLENT SPEED-LEAGUES APART
3. GENTLE KNIGHT has been beaten twice by better types, the preparation, mock race etc should have helped him. EXCELLENT ABILITY , a sister to GALLOPING BAY looks in good condition. SEVEN STAR has been showing out on tracks, may improve. FELICITAD has to show a lot of improvement to justify its good breeding.
GENTLE KNIGHT-SEVEN STAR-EXCELLENT ABILITY
4. SOUTHERN EMPIRE is a champion horse who is getting into racing form. BOURBON KING may run an improved race, the mock trials should have brought him to form. . SPLENDID SURPRISE lost unluckily to DIEGO RIVIERA, looks good on tracks. RHAPSIDIAN SNOW led for most of the way in Wadiyar cup, can go all the way with this yet to prove rider.
RHAPSIDIAN SNOW-SPLENDID SURPRISE-BOURBON KING
5. ADAMARIS is working very well, may get the nod today. CHINAB is a place hopeful. MUSIC FOREVER , a half brother to RED INDIAN has been steadily prepared by the rider. SUGRIV is tracking fine. BLUSHING BEAM has the advantage of a race run.
ADAMARIS-MUSIC FOREVER-BLUSHING BEAM
6. FIGHTING STAR ran a good 3rd, has a better jockey now. SUAVE is likely to show much improvement like most other horses of this trainer. MILAGRO was an impressive finisher in last run, will be in the fray. SANGINI was a comfortable winner. SUPERIOR SURPRISE has been very well prepared, the connections are not having a good record for fair running of their animals.
MILAGRO-FIGHTING STAR-SUPERIOR SURPRISE
7. REBELLIOUS has the benefit of an easy run. ASIATICUS has come down a lot, may win now. SOUTHERNER has been well prepared. TINA’S TRIUMPH ran a suggestive 4th.

- 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.
