MUMBAI RACES
1. DESDEMONA is full sister to SAFARI, this decently bred has raced in bigger company, looks good here. IBIS is well prepared sister to TULLAMORE, the rider is not doing any justice to his experience nowadays. LUSTY is sister to WAR CHILD, she is being urged in tracks. POUND FOOLISH, a poorly named speedy pedigreed horse has been bought in foal , why he has not been tracked? It is rather confusing when the trainers send out their horses with no evident tracks, the gate practice was fair but the true potential is not known.

2. BALANCE DE POWER was in reckoning in last run, it has been sent for gallops, the rider is ordinary, the horse has often been fancied but not won in last three years. ROCOCO had run 2nd in Indian 2000G in 2007. Though out of form it ran well enough last time, may deliver under the hard riding jockey. ARKHOS has been racing just about thereabouts, may improve.

3. A straight contest between the two- SEA TREASURE ran 2nd to the good sprinter FOREST FLAIR and has been continuously tracking, the dam was a speedy type. BLUE DANUBE won the last sprint in good time a long way from home, this full sister to MONOPOLY has to progress, but the will to win is not evident in the preparation. CHECK HER OUT is showing out in tracks.
SEA TREASURE-BLUE DANUBE
4. GUNS N ROSES is brother to BARBARA, the last track was extremely smart. TORA BORA is by the highly rated sire who has given us VERSAKI the top juvenile so far, he looks a cut above the rest as the tracks are very pleasing. MOON FLOWER has an ordinary jockey but it ran a decent race against RIDING FANTASY last time. RIDING FANTASY has a good jockey after the last eye catching run when not in odds.

5. MARINE ZONE has a moderate Mysore jockey, the horse has been prepared by this non performing and "once in blue moon" type of trainer. THEODOROS comes into reckoning based on the first time run on board, the jockey has a tough job on hand as some runners are hiding true potential. SOLID ROCK has a jockey who can deliver if the desire to do so is there, the horse was knocking for a win at Pune. BRAVE ACT has a positive jockey switch.
SOLID ROCK-THEODOROS-MARINE ZONE
6. HIGHLAND BOUNTY won as a good thing from the front, may do it again. MOONSTORM is in good form, this younger brother to HEIFITZ is speedy. PACEMAKER has another allowance jockey this time for a runaway attempt. MASTER CRAFT has come down a lot, the number of gates and the mocks put him up for a try now though the jockey is as good as a riding boy. CLARION CALL failed as a favorite, can not be considered in this class.
MOON STORM-PACE MAKER- HIGHLAND BOUNTY
7. DAFFODILS is held back for a surprise, it has capabilities to upset. HIDDEN DANGER is a front runner. POLARISER has again been shifted to a new trainer, the horse remains an enigma. GLORIOUS SPIRIT was a fast finisher in EXCELLENT STORY’S race, the good jockey can deliver now. ANAMIKA is at low weights.

- 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.

Greetings
The fly in stable jockey doing duty for SOLSKJAER, like to know if the connections are fancying?
Regards,
Madhu
Since the field is reasonably weak with aged horses being tried, he has a decent chance. The horse is ON, whether this fly-in jockey can deliver for the third time, we shall have to wait and see.
