DELHI RACES
1. ASHWA SHAURIYA , a full brother to RAPID FIRE & LIZZIE BORDEN is impressive in tracks, the connections who have done well in last one year would be fancying their chances here as well as to make an auspicious beginning once again. TAKE A CHANCE is working well in company of KERRY BLUE, the dam was a speedy type. AMITY should have benefited from the run. OUTSTANDING has a lot of stable hype but has been so so in tracks. The pedigree is disappointing as the elder CRYSTAL PISTOL has not been able to win in Delhi & the first foal GUTSY LADY had also failed to get on board.
ASHWA SHAURYA-OUTSTANDING-TAKE A CHANCE
2.SINGH IS KING may run on board. VISION REMAINS looks fit , has won in higher class last season. REAL SCOTCH showed improvement in last run. GANDHRAJ may run a forward race. DARING LOVE is working well, may exploit the handicap.
DARING LOVE-VISION REMAINS-SINGH IS KING
3.FIVE STAR won a sprint in early part of season. NYMPHETMINE has been steadily prepared by the jockey, may show some improvement. CELESTIAL ANSWER is a speedy type. WATER WAVE looks fit. VANILA SKY was a reasonably 2nd in last run at low weights.
NYMPHETMINE-CELESTIAL ANSWER-FIVE STAR
4.GOLDEN GUN is well prepared but has a load to carry. CATALUNYA ran fairly forward races in early part of season, looks in shape. MANDJI won at good odds in Kolkatta, had earlier run well winning a million race last season. BLACK CHETAK is a very fast horse who has his work cut out today.
MANDJI-BLACK CHETAK-CATALUNYA
5. GANDIVA may place. SILVER PEG has got to tackle the handicap, the tracks are impressive. FIRST N IMPRESSION had won well in early part of the season under a normal jockey, the jockey switch is positive. THE BOSS is suddenly looking very fresh in works, may not get another chance if it is not tried in this weak looking company.
THE BOSS-SILVER PEG-GANDIVA
6. SOLITARY MAN is working well, has a load to carry. LADY’S CROWN looks very eager in tracks may surprise even at this sharp distance. BEST OF THE LOT looks well prepared. DOLTON POWER has got handicap in favor, the tracks are indicative.
DOLTON POWER-BEST OF THE LOT-SOLITARY MAN
7. DREAM DEBUT is moving attractively. DIVINE HEIGHTS is going over the ideal distance. THE ROCK looks in top fettle, has better handicap than SENEGAL whom he failed to collar when they last matched each other.

DAYS BEST====THE ROCK

- 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.
