DELHI RACES
The North India 1000 Guineas has seven contestants in the fray, three of which appear to be totally out of depth as far as capabilities go. The main contestants are going to be GIN AND TONIC winner of six races including one in the highest class, MANDJI winner of a million race last year & STUNNING ROSE who was the most impressive winner in her last start. The distance & the fact that MANDJI has always got the better of STUNNING ROSE in last season make her the obvious choice to win this rich race.
POINTERS AND SELECTIONS
1. ASHWA PRAGYA has good breeding for Delhi standards though the sire PLACERVILLE is siring quite ordinary crops in the last couple of years. He was a comfortable 2nd to TAKE A CHANCE. RAWSON is the best bred son of black type producing NIGHT OF GAIETY , being half brother to speedy PERSEPHONE, STAR PROFILE who won a million & STAR OF GAIETY, the choice of the jockey indicates that the colt may be out for inaugral airing only. SARIR was a faraway 3rd but has the best jockey and is likely to be fighting out. TURKISH DOLL appears to be the most painstakingly prepared, the grand dam ALL GOLD was a very speedy one.
TURKISH DOLL-SARIR
2. NORTHERN PRINCE was looking a winner long way from the finish in last run, the jockey's over confidence was the undoing of a good thing getting beaten on the post. Though the field appears very moderate this sprinting distance does not suit. AMAZING DANCER a winner of 7 races in his career has done nothing for a long time since moving to Delhi from South. GO is tracking regularly, may go all the way. RAPID FIRE is yet to come to hand.
GO-NORTHERN PRINCE
3. TAKE A CHANCE was a comfortable winner in maiden's race. He is running against a very weak opposition & is likely to be the favorite. Normally in Delhi winners of maiden's race flop in class IV on next attempt but the opposition gives a chance. ROSEVELT the aged sprinter has a try jockey. ELEGANT FASHION is very well prepared but has the jockey is a second of Rajinder, the best local rider.
TAKE A CHANCE-ELEGANT FASHION
4. GIN AND TONIC is at the best handicap rating but it has not run with classy types. MANDJI has beaten STUNNING ROSE fair and squre all three times they raced together last season. STUNNING ROSE looks improved but has a tough task on hand. QUALITY ASSURANCE has been a failure story except for the one fluke win last season against good horses.
MANDJI-STUNNING ROSE
5. SENEGAL & THE ROCK clash once again. Over 1200 m SENEGAL had hit the front and lasted out while in receipt of 5 Kgs last season. This season it ran away as a good thing while in receipt of 1 Kgs, though it is most likely that THE ROCK was not ON this time. The later went on to win a laboured race while in receipt of 8 Kgs from FAURTIES. Now if I am to remember SENEGAL had thrashed FAURTIES by a big margin last season.To sum up SENEGAL appears more improved and should be the one all have to catch. MURBAN who is in fine trim is ready to strike any day. GANDIVA will be hoping to place again.
SENEGAL-THE ROCK-MURBAN
6. LAND CRUISER has been well prepared. DAGGER'S POINT is in fine form and working well. ROMARIO is showing signs of coming to hand. CONFIDENTIAL LADY was given a soft ride by this jcockey last time, may not be ON again.

Blogs of Note
- 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.
