BANGALORE RACES
PS-After three half money or thereabouts favorites obliging yesterday, today may be a day to watch out. One of the main reasons is that a very controversial rider P S Chauhan who is well known for riding for shady trainers is riding on some mounts who are likely to be active in betting rings. With the season coming to a close and with most foreign riders having packed their bags the turf maybe at the mercy of some waiting gambles. Also the days card has three races for juveniles , some of them are running with hope and hype for the first time.
1. SAVY CONCEPT has been tracking from the start of the season. This half brother to good types HABAT and REFLECTION OF GOLD has a strong rider to take him all the way. MISSY MOONLIGHT was a good beat on the opening day of the season, looks a bit improved. BRUNETTA is full sister to good sprinter ONE MISSION, the mock race and preparation is indicative. The rider is not a winning type. RUSSIAN DANCER a half brother to VERY BONAFIDE IS TRACKING FAST.

2. DARK TAN is capable of running a forward race, has a try jockey. MISS MARVELOUS was a good 4th, the jockey is very ordinary. IMMORTAL has been always backed this season, remains a maiden. GARA FLUID has placed in last three attempts, may fight out.
DARK TAN-IMMORTAL-MISS MARVELOUS
3. LIVE IT UP won all the way as a good gamble in Mysore, it would be tempting for the connections as the field is very ordinary. NEW PASTURES has been well prepared, has won at higher weights than the ones today last year with Suraj on top. PRETTY N FAST is tracking well.
NEW PASTURES-LIVE IT UP
4. DARK HORSE belonging to a lowly trainer has been well tracked and given a few runs, may be a good thing as it won handsomely on backing under this jockey before. BORN BEAUTY has a strong rider. RISING HERO will look to win after the last promising run. SATIN WOOD has a try jockey.
DARK HORSE-ROYAL HERO-BORN BEAUTY
5. ROYAL AMBASSADOR has been tracking very well, it could not win despite a good jump in last run, needs to be supported again. REFLECTION OF GOLD had a very amazing run in MARK OF GIBRALTAR’S win, the people who studied this race will surely tip him as the days best today. RIMPUCHE has failed to deliver in last two runs, he is unreliable for win. FANTABULOUS PRINCE is fantastic at placing only.

6. LOWNDES SQUARE is by the good type mare, he is going over the correct distance and should be fighting out. DARTAGNAN, the friend of the famous three musketeer has been painstakingly prepared by the top trainer, the dam had won the Indian 2000 Guineas at odds of 20’s. Looks good after the tremendous Gate Practice. BLUE DEW is bred well, will definitely improve with the rider switch. SUN GOLD and PORTABELLO are also hopefuls for a good performance.

7. CHINA TOWN a full brother to CAIRNDHU has been well prepared. RUBY LEGEND has to fight out, looks difficult. GUSTAVO is tracking well. KRIPA is a place hopeful. RUGGED BEAUTY took down a load of money last time, the trainer is unreliable.SYSTEMATIC is full sister to black type AMORINA, the tracks are impressive.
CHINA TOWN-RUBY LEGEND-SYSTEMATIC
8. NEED OF THE HOUR is maintaining good form, is very stiff on comparative handicap. CRACK JACK is a place type only. WAR HEAD has raced with better lots, time has come for him to earn some doe for the owner. SUPER SONIC has been tracking 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.
