MUMBAI RACES
From the entries for the races today it appears that the big guns are not likely to be firing and the second string and other trainers should be vying to pick up a few races.
1. A minefield of a race with many contenders in with a chance. DANGEROUS BELLE has a positive rider switch after the close run for place. NYMPH has been tried many times with foreign riders, now the local lad may get a better response. SECRET MAGIC had run a faraway 2nd to MANEGE at Pune, has age on side. BLAU HIMMEL has placed with this rider but had a poor run later. NONIOS has been given tracks and should run well with try jockey for a small time trainer. IJLAL has the best jockey and age on his side, has yet to be under the stick. CHOPASNI ran a good race despite a slow get off. TRY YOUR LUCK was in betting order but raced in the rear for unknown reasons, has capability to win at these weights.
IJLAL-CHOASNI-SECRET MAGIC
2. CALLING THE SHOTS was an encouraging 3rd in youngsters company. ROSE BOWL had a good run and is tracking well. GOT TO GO is working well and goes over the pet distance. BELLIGERENT won well and has to see off the penalty.

3. OCEAN OF FAITH has a tough task to win despite having the most successful team. DELPHI is half sister to BLAZING SPECTACLE and appears forward from the gates. GOLDEN HEART should benefit from the runs and the positive rider switch. VIA CHASELLAS needs more distance to win.

4. MISCHEVIOUS TROT has good form and a good jockey. CLASSIC STAR has come down in handicap, can go all the way. ALGORITHMS may find the trip a bit long. CATALYST belongs to a trainer whose horses don’t run to form , may surprise. ALEXUS won well after a longish break and has chance to repeat.

5. BLAZING SPECTACLE had been given kilos and beating by ESTEVEZ in earlier clash. ESTEVEZ has been given some ordinary rides, has the best credentials if ridden to win from the front. SOOPHIE is a good sprinter who has been kept on a leash so far. WILD TORRANADO is running very encouragingly. SCENIC SILVER has the worst jockey but can run well on its own.

6. RIVER PRIDE has a load to carry, failed to get going last time. WHITE KNIGHT is a well bred who appears to have come to hand. GREEN SIGNAL has a poor jockey. ARIANE and SACRED RELIC were both finishing on in last attempt and have to be fighting out again. ASHRIDGE has the jockey to get the well bred going.
SACRED RELIC-ARIANE-ASHRIDGE
7. WALKING TALL is capable of winning any day, he is just about there in most runs. RAN BANKA has been waited with for a coup at good odds. SECRET TALK can place under the try jockey. PARIS HILTON is tracking well. ONUS PROBUNDI is a sitter at handicap, needs the signal at this trip.

- 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.
