BANGALORU RACES
1. MAM Ramaswamy has a habit of winning the inaugural race for juveniles at this centre. Many years back even Samar Singh had done the same for three continuous years with horses belonging to my family. Today also it looks to be a race between the two with MISTY MOONLIGHT shining above the others based on the superb pedigree & the excellent gate practice. IDAR PRINCESS is showing lots of initial speed as she is by a mare who won three sprints in Mumbai. RASHIDA is the other filly in field who is promising in tracks, the full sister to the useful SOLID SUCCESS has a mediocre jockey though.
MISTY MOONLIGHT-IDAR PRINCESS
2. ACTION HERO has run in higher class, he has a forceful jockey to also. AMAZING FLORA was kept far back when racing last time as a favorite, the top stable jockey may run her differently . ASPIRING SEVEN is badly off on handicap, he likes to hit the front. EVERYTHING NICE is good in tracks, should run an improved race.
ACTION HERO-EVERYTHING NICE-AMAZING FLORA
3. EDMONDO is showing out in tracks, it is due for a win as it has been sparingly raced. LET THE RIVER RUN is moving well in tracks. EXCELLENT ABILITY is well bred who appears improved a lot. VOICE OF INDIA placed for first time in last run, may do so again.
EXCELLENT ABILITY-EDMONDO-VOICE OF INDIA
4. ALGIERS is notable in works, the distance suits. AN EQUAL MUSIC is good on handicap but it may be going out for a rehearsal only as he is not cut out for this distance. EL GORDO wins when not expected, has been tracked constantly. MY FRIEND PAUL has been handled very poorly in the last couple of seasons as the trainers had their own problems. FREE MASON has the handicap in favor, may need a run.
ALGIERS-MY FRIEND PAUL-FREE MASON
5. BOURBON KING, the champion horse of last year appears fit, it is carrying a load & can not be supported based on the poor runs in summers. HOLDING COURT needs to settle down to racing before its potential as of now is known. LION HEART is this years top older horse over this distance. VANQUISH is impressive in tracks. RIO BRAVO ran a commendable 2nd in last run, it may warm up to win.
RIO BRAVO-BOURBON KING-LION HEART
6. SUGAR BLAZE has been constantly in tracks, may run a good race. MASQUENADA is working well. ANDRONICUS is pleasing in trials, has won the first race last winters also. RIVER ISLAND has no tracks, it is the way Padmanabhan trains, the positive is that it has raced with better types.
ANDRONICUS-RIVER ISLAND-SUGAR BLAZE
7. ALLEGRO is in fine form, the rider is suspect. SHISHAM warmed up well in last run but the rider was not very keen to win, may be able to deliver today. MEDIA MAN won in a fight, looks tough now for this well bred. MISS PUKKA ran well enough to finish on board, can fight out now.
SHISHAM-MISS PUKKA-ALLEGRO

- 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.
