MUMBAI RACES
1. MYPETHONEY is speedy and should be running a forward race. MOONSTORM
is working well and this speedily bred horse who placed in the last run has a poor company to beat. BLADE RUNNER is a failure, can not expect him to win a sprint. WHITE HART LANE is another failure who is tracking well.
MOONSTORM-MYPETHONEY-BLADE RUNNER
2. EKHABINSKYA who is bred for speed should be followed on her breeding itself, the last win was impressive. HYMS TO FREEDOM is a front runner and may get involved. The threat is from INSITE SOUL who looks improved . BLUE DAFFODILS may be considered for place.
EKHABINSKYA-INSITE SOUL-BLUE DAFFODILS
3. CONGRATS is bred to stay, the preparation is strong and he has nothing to beat. PENINSULA has been a failure and BRAD who is at good handicap has a weak jockey.
CONGRATS-BRAD
4. INDIAN SUMMER should like this distance. SECRET GLORY is working well. CALYPSO DANCER won well and will be tried again. CEST BON , the horse named after a Chinese restraunt is from the impeccable mare PRICELESS, the preparation is meticulous.
CEST BON-SECRET GLORY-CALYPSO DANCER
5. RAQUEL who was a good 2nd against 4 year olds has a chance to win in a very competitive field. PRINCE LOCHINVA is likely to run a forward race. SEA GULL looks vastly improved after change of stables and should be in the fray. KA CHING who won a sprint in a framed race may be tried but is at stiff handicap. The one who should place is SOLID BLACK.
RAQUEL-SOLID BLACK-SEA GULL
6. SPIRITUALL has been well trained, the distance is a bother. SPICA was eye catching in last run and has a chance now though it has a bad habit of not going out for win in last few yards. PILLATUS is at a good handicap, the tracks show fitness. ZARZANTAINE was a good winner who may run a good race again.
PILLATUS-SPICA-ZARZAINTINE
7. ARTS who is showing lots of eagerness in works is half brother to that spedy filly ALVARITA. DUKE OF WINDSOR is bound to run a forward race under this rider. RIVER BLOSSOM can not be backed here , it had flopped in Pune. ROCKBY VENUS who has been given a soft ride is the one to upset. VIOLETTA who is bred to stay is blazing the tracks, should be in with a chance.
ARTS-VIOLETTA-DUKE OF WINDSOR
8. RED INDIAN is at a stiff handicap but has enough speed to last out. LEGENDARY has been well prepared. OYSTER PRINCESS runs well when fresh, may upset. STAR O WAR is at a tidy handicap. GENERALISSIMO has come down in scales and comes out better than some of the fancied runners in this field.
RED INDIAN-STAR O WAR-GENERALISSIMO
9. MISCHEVIOUS TROT ran a fine race and will be involved. MR GREEDY can last out all the way, the runs have braught him on. KISS AWAY is a sparingly raced horse who is working well. MICKY MANTLE running after a long year impressed in mocks.
KISS AWAY-MISCHEVIOUS TROT-MICKY MANTLE
10. ARGENTINA was a big failure due to the over eagerness and misplaced confidence of the trainer who pitched him at a staying distance in first run. The horse has been penalized and has a stiff challenge even today as it may not win at short odds. SECRET TALK can not be considered to win as the jockey belongs to the favorite’s camp. FOREVER AMBER should do the trick if favorite flounders once again. GOLDEN KEY and SPARROW HAWK are the up setters at longish odds.

- 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.

I am asking you the biggest question of the decade ! No blogger or racing punter did not asked any handicapper. Since you are specialising in pedigrees, I just want to ask you this question.

MR ANNONYMOUS,
You have posed a very intriguing question and it will not be correct to give a hurried answer. Right now I am busy with the week-end races, hence after sunday I hope to make some sense to this very difficult poser.
