MYSORE RACES
Racing last week was on expected lines, don’t look for favorites when older horses are running and when the owners of the stock have changed hands a number of times. Remember that the horses owned by trainers will seldom win as favorites, all want to strike at good odds as it is my experience that these people first want to ensure that the place money on the horse is safe and then only will they try the racer.
Owner SN Harish has many entries, he has a habit of striking at odds. There is a new rider with a difficult to pronounce name who is looking for a double for the owner cum trainer. The sons of samar singh are not likely to be winning today.
1. SPARK OF ZEAL belongs to a sporting owner who has done well at Bangalore, the horse is tracking well and looks improved. MOONLIGHT DANCER has taken his time to come to hand and can score with the experienced rider. ARYANSH is working well, has never been on board. WHISPER VALLEY should like the step up in distance.

2. WORTH A GOLD is always ridden by this jockey, is a winner of four races and may run well. ROTA ROOA had surprised by winning a race over this trip all the way last season, the last run over a scurry must have bought him on. MISS RUBY is blazing the tracks, the rider apart she looks to be in top shape. ROMANTIC LIASON should have benefited from the last run.

3. WINNING TALE is looking good in mornings, the field is very poor to beat. SPARK OF SYMPHONY has to be in the race after being backed but found wanting last time. VIBHUTI is speedy, can run well, age is on her side. MISS MEXICO is working well.

4. NECTAR JEWEL was a surprise winner last week, has to tackle the penalty. JOIN THE PARTY is a game horse who likes to lead all the way, has a good rider. DANGER DIABOLIC goes at better weights vis a vis the top weighted horse, should be interested. THE GAIN has come back after the weight reducing mission at Mumbai, watch his progress now.

5. ECUADOR has come down in class as well as weights. GRIS RAPIDE impressed in gates, has good initial speed. BLOOD STREAM was a good 2nd under an average rider, should make amends now. QUEEN OF DESTINY ran well enough to show improvement. ALEJANDROS is taking time coming to hand, the horse has slid down in scales.

6. BEAUTY ON DUTY has not won for very long, the last effort was fine and the tracks are nice. LYRA has come down to striking level, may be tried. DUTCH HERO was a good gamble at the end of the season, the penalty is stiff, the horse is looking very fit in works. NO NAME may run well.
LYRA-BEAUTY ON DUTY-DUTCH HERO
7. RAGING STAR belongs to a Mumbai based owner who backs his horses well, watch for such punt as the horse is speedy . SERIOUS WARRIOR is tracking well, should have benefited from the gates. FEEL MY HEART is in good form and can carry forward from the last season. HERO’S DOMINANCE ran very disappointingly last week. STERLING SPEED has age on side, can upset. WORTH A DIAMOND is at striking 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.
