BANGALORE RACES
A long session of racing has been framed for the day. The trend of racing so far this season has been favorable for punters with more than 50% public favorites obliging. The card today is a bit tricky & one needs to be wary of false favorites. With ltd number of form/ prepared horses from MAM stables for a change, a more challenging field is evident from a look at the card. The racing public would certainly welcome a winner from Hyderabad visitors & the duo of S Padmanabhan & W Smith get their much awaited maiden winner this season. Today there is a good possibility of any/ all of these.
POINTERS WITH SELECTIONS
TREND TRACKER is bred for speed, may run well. POWER TO FIGHT has been subjected to long gallops, the pedigree is average. BORN TO SHINE is looking fit, the tracks are encouraging. RED RIVER REBEL is showing lot of speed in works, can run a good race if tried.
BORN TO SHINE-RED RIVER REBEL-POWER TO FIGHT
GLEAMING SKY, a nicely bred winner over 1600 m at Mumbai has been showing out in trials. ORIENTATION, a 4 year old in this staying trip has been well prepared. HILL OF GRACE ran below par last time, may show improvement. STRATEGIC PARTNER a full sister to AMORINA was slowly off, ridden easy, yet dragged the jockey in finishing on board in her last run. The try jockey gives her a fighting chance. LET THE RIVER RUN is impressive in trials, the distance suits the distaff side of this breed.
GLEAMING SKY-STRATEGIC PARTNER-HILL OF GRACE
ANDRONICUS is very pleasing in tracks. SURPRISE PACKAGE has been sharpened up. PIED HARRIER has a lot of early speed, the jockey will be forcing the issue. AWESOME BEAUTY has been given a run. ENFORCER was a close 2nd to ANDRONICUS last year in a maidens race at level weights, the trainer should be tempted to try him with such a huge weight advantage today.
ENFORCER-ANDRONICUS-PIED HARRIER
MUSIC FOREVER is impressive in trials, the mock race with top horses was encouraging, the trainer is a non performer. SUN DEVICE has been sharpened up for debut. PLEASURING was an easy runner up on opening day. DIFFERENT OPINION may place again.
MUSIC FOREVER-PLEASURING-DIFFERENT OPINION
ABLE ASSOCIATE has been soundly prepared, the tracks give him a good chance. YOU’RE WONDERFUL is a speedy type who was an impressive 2nd to MONEY IN THE BANK (nearly won in class IV) ,the owner/ trainer combination has poor reputation . SPARK OF GOLD is fit. CLAUSEAU may run an improved race. SUPER SHA is in fine condition to fight out for a win.
ABLE ASSOCIATE-SUPER SHA-SPARK OF GOLD
BEE THE STAR is a good type, will improve & try to defy penalty. AFEA is a speedy horse who is tracking well. ADORABELLA ran well enough to be in the fray again. BORN BEAUTY appeals on rider & handicap. ACT SMART has been a profitable ride for this non try jockey, may get on board again.
BORN BEAUTY-ADORABELLA-BEE THE STAR
SOUTHERN CHARGE has been well prepared, given a mock race, he may help both trainer & rider break the jinx & earn a win. ROYAL AMBASSADOR ran a poor race as favorite, can do better. WONDER SMILE showed a lot of heart in going down in a much sharper trip, should deliver now. ANGELIQUE showed elements of stamina in finishing 4th in stayer’s cup.
WONDER SMILE-SOUTHERN CHARGE

MILAGRO-SUPERIOR SURPRISE-FIGHTING STAR
FLAMING LAMBHORGINI needs a bit more distance, yet looks good even here. SCRIPT URE DESTINY ran a forward race, will improve. AELINIA has been well prepared. IN THE ZONE has always tracked fast, if backed by the owner it has a decent chance.

- 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.
