BANGALORE RACES
1. MERCUTIO is half brother to SIERRA & SAMARRAH, he is pleasing in tracks. BOURBON BAY had warmed up a trifle late against the speedy VIVACITY, can beat this lot with a more forceful ride now. ZAMALEK has been prepared by this rider in tracks, the spurt on 02nd was impressive. CAPTIVATING is the one who is eye-catching in gates & tracks.

2. SHEER GOLD has a mediocre jockey & is conceding weight, does not appeal. OPPRIMO impressed in gates, has a try jockey. SPLENDID GLORY can only hope to find the board in this company with Suraj ‘s strong riding. AHIRA is one of those who stops when near the post.
OPPRIMO-AHIRA-SPLENDID GLORY
3. AMAZING FLORA has disappointed on most occasions, it does not do justice to its handicap. ACTION HERO was given a soft ride in last run, has run in upper class. QUITE ACHIEVER has never graced the board in his racing career, looks to improve. TRACK WONDER should have benefited from the last run. CLASSIC MOVEMENTS placed for the first time in his stint in tracks, should be all out now.
CLASSIC MOVEMENTS-ACTION HERO-AMAZING FLORA
4. GLORY BOUND was a faraway 3rd, it can improve on that effort. BLACK SPLENDOUR looks best on handicap. ANNA’S QUEST is tracking well. AAJ TAK was an unlucky looser after such heavy support in the ring, it has been kept fit.

5. LUSH FOLIAGE was given a loosing ride by Gyaneshwar in last run, does not appeal even now. BEE THE STAR has won 4 races & can add to that account as the claimer jockey is riding well this season. RIVER ISLAND warmed up late in last run, he has not won for long though he raced in better company than others. PANCHAKSHARI needs a bit of extra strong effort in the final stages of the race.
RIVER ISLAND-LUSH FOLIAGE-BEE THE STAR
6. RIO BRAVO is a good type who can tackle this distance. GUIDED MISSILE has improved in last few runs. SOUTHERN CHARGE has been more of a let down after winning the 2000 guineas more than a year back, the rider & the distance are positives. MOTHER’S PRIDE is in good health, the last run was suggestive.

7. DESERT REALM is working well, it had got beaten by a very mediocre horse once & its only in was a labored one. MIND ME is tracking well. ATTATURK has arty jockey to surprise. XEL may get on frame.
MIND ME-DESERT REALM-ATTATURK
8. AN EQUAL MUSIC was given a distance beyond its capability last time, it had lost a certain race in Mysore due to the weights flying out, should win easily here. DOCK OF BAY has been well prepared, the jockey commands respect. NEED OF THE HOUR has not raced for a very long time like DARK HORSE & both are looking good from the tracks. AUCHINLECH is working well.

- 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.
