BAGALORE RACES
Bangalore Derby has created lots of excitement in the minds of race goers, the field is very competitive and since all runners traverse the distance for the first time in their career a veil of uncertainty remains. The punters are well advised to refrain from taking this race seriously, best is to watch it with the interest of a race follower and let the lucky connections win the whopping winning amount. It has been my experience of 30 odd years of racing that the public normally comes to races on a big day well excited and leaves the arena with holes in the pockets, the races are keenly contested on such days as most trainers and owners want to be seen performing at such largely attended occasions.
1. PELIKANO ran a pathetic race to loose over 1800m, looks difficult with extra yards. SAPTASHWA has been prepared for the day, it had last won at this distance under this very jockey carrying 59 Kgs, an all the way effort may be expected. VIVACITY is bred in purple, the distance has to be tackled.
SAPTASHWA-VIVACITY
2. JIYA YOH JIYA YOH has a negative jockey. AGILITY is a well bred who has suddenly tracked very appealingly, looks good here. KALYAN is the surprise horse like most of the stalemates. GLORY TO DANCER is a failed favorite who has a race on hands.
AGILITY-GLORY TO DANCER-KALYAN
3. ALACRITY is maintaining good form in works, the win this season was noteworthy before the colts trials run. EDMONDO is very impressive in works and should be the main threat here to the favorite. CHINTZ appears a bit jaded after the last poor run. EL PASO is working well
ALACRITY-EDMONDO-CHINTZ
4. GLITTERATO was an eye catching 3rd , he is full brother to good type COCO CHANEL, should be in thick of things. SUPREME ARCH and YOU’RE A STUD appear non tryers despite good last run, the placement of jockey’s is a give away of the doubts of the connections. TRILLION WIN has no tracks after the last 4th. AFRICAN SKY has been prepared by this girl in the mornings, should fight out for her 2nd win in this country.
GLITTERATO-AFRICAN SKY-TRILLION WIN
5. HENRY’S SECRET is a game stayer but the handicap is against. WIN PRETTY BABY is the feel the track ride for R Hughes, you never know that it may turn out to be the only win for the fly in top jockey. STORMY RIVER has been tracked well. QUITE ACHIEVER has a strong jockey, should fight out.
WIN PRETTY BABY-QUITE ACHIEVER-STORMY RIVER
6. ABOLINE was given an indifferent ride in colts, can return to old tactics of taking things ON from the word go. The staying prowess of the sire has always been doubted. SPRINT STAR was a fluke winner of colts who has a tough task here. POLISH PATRIOT is an unbeaten got abroad who has an outside chance based on last easy win. CAPTIVATING has to tackle the distance, the winner of four races has to be considered. MYSTIC QUEST showed improvement in last run, may find it difficult to place. JAQUELINE and GYPSY MAGIC are going to attract maximum support based on their performances so far, JACQUELINE has won all three outings but the bloodlines suggest that the distance is a big ask. GYPSY MAGIC looks the best in tracks, the poor gates is not a bother as she has never been a front runner, the top jockey may score if luck of the race goes well for him.
GYPSY MAGIC-JACQUELINE-ABOLINE
7. LOCK AND LOAD is a good type, the last run was poor. NEED OF THE HOUR has been well prepared. BOURBON BAY won handsomely in early part of the season, looks good here. SUPER YACHT can build up on last place run. OBAN has run well up in all his starts.
BOURBON BAY-OBAN-NEED OF THE HOUR
8. ARISTOS has been tracking well, the distance is a bother. EQUIDAE was an easy winner who will try to go for a repeat., may not stay. STAR WAVE is running into form, last run was over a shorter trip, may warm up for a win. TALK TO THE DEVIL is a game stayer who is looking fit in tracks.
STAR WAVE-TALK OF THE DEVIL-ARISTOS
9. TABLE MOUNTAIN has shown lots of good work in the mornings but has not been able to win so far. SUPER SPEAR is working well, the rookie jockey has to use his mind to go with the pace with something in hand. PAINT ME RED is a non winner who has a chance here. SAN FRANSISCO GIRL may stun them all.

- 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.

Not a single winner out of 9. Why must you insist on tipping, Mr Sharma?
