MUMBAI RACES
1. ARZAAN placed for first time in racing career and will be fancied to improve further with the in form allowance jockey. BRILLIANT MOON is in good form and has the best rider. SPARKLER looks good on handicap, can he finally win for this trainer who rarely leads in a winner.
SPARKLER/BRILLIANT MOON-WIN
2. TELL ME MORE belongs to a scheming trainer whose horses do not perform as expected in Mumbai. PRINCE CYRUS is a failed favorite with a positive rider switch. FREANY has a top rider and has worked well. GRANT PARK is likely to improve.
PRINCE CYRUS-WIN. FREANY-PLACE
3. TAANUSH has been running for ages without any returns, can do well in this poor field. CONSTANTIA could not take the pressure in last run. LUNAR QUEST has one of the most inconsistent riders, looks good on paper.
LUNAR QUEST-WIN. TAANUSH-UPSET.
4. No competition for the classic hopeful BLACKJACK. STAR ALLIANCE should place ahead of LIVING THE DREAM.
5. OCEAN EMPEROR has tracked very well and has handicap in favor, the top rider has his task cut out to contain the turn of foot of SCARFACE who will finish on as he was an awesome winner in last run. BLUE MELLON has a good chance to place.
SCAR FACE-WIN. BLUE MELLON-PLACE
6. MOUNTAIN WIND is a speedy type who impressed in his win at Pune and maintains form. SNOW BLAZE was under pressure in his winning attempt, has a tough ask now. CLASS APART is showing speed, had won well. INCOGNITO and SALT can not be separated in ranking, the later looks improved.
MOUNTAIN WIND-WIN. SALT-PLACE.
7. FLASHING SWORD is a failed favorite with a good rider. GLOWING STAR has not lived upto the breeding, this rider has worked hard on him, should run well. HIGH SOCIETY should be considered here after the good initial run. MADAME MARCEI looks good on handicap, has an aging jockey.
HIGH SOCIETY-WIN. GLOWING STAR-PLACE
8. AUTONOMY is the champion horse who has not run for months, should be watched with interest only. BECKET has worked well and should win. DIEGO RIVIERA is an old war horse with a spirit to finish on. CABRIOLET looks to be the main threat to the favorite. ARISTOS may have problems with the trip, has been in fine form.
BECKET-WIN. CABRIOLET-PLACE
9. ARSHAVIN has worked well, the rider is weak. VICTOR IVANOV has a handicap chance. EXCELLASTIC has the combination to deliver. LAST TANGO has the allowance jockey to go for it.
EXCELLASTIC-WIN. ARSHAVIN-PLACE

- 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.
