DELHI RACES


1. DAYTONA BEAUTY has not run for long, had won the last start at these weights only, the rider may e able to pull it off. GO WITH THE FLOW is the youngster who ran a fair 3rd and goes with a rookie to runaway from the word go. YARE is an aged horse who can run a forward race.

GO WITH THE FLOW X WIN or DAYTONA BEAUTY –Both ways.

2. BELFAGOUR definitely comes into contention based on last run, has a rookie to guide. POMMERY has the burden of penalty. GLORIOUS BOY has a rider switch, but has to contend with INDIAN BRIDE who always came out better in last season. MAUTHARMA is the shady one here.

BELFAGOUR-WIN. INDIAN BRIDE-Place

3. I will again go with TAKE A CHANCE who ran well enough last week. ASHWA PALLAVI has worked very well, has the rider for the job. AMITY is showing speed in tracks.

TAKE A CHANCE-WIN

4. SHUB SHUB has a load to carry, retains forward form. GIN AND TONIC is tracking very well and the rider has a chance. BUDDY BROTHERS has impressed the connections to fly in the jockey for a chance, the horse likes to win early, watch? Take a close look at how much ASHWA PRATAP has come down, I feel he is worth betting on today at low weights and with this rider.

ASHWA PRATAP-Both ways.

5. SONIC BOOM likes to win at a longer trip, has come down in scales. BLACK PARTRIDGE is capable of fighting out here. ASHWA PRABHA is pleasing in works. REAL SCOTCH is running too soon for comfort.

ASHWA PRABHA-WIN

6. DESTINED PRINCE comes with good Pune form and will be expected to win. LITTLE MASTER is dry coated, may run well. KAMAKHAYA has been given runs, can do well now. DAZZLING LIGHT is at bottom weights.

KAMAKHAYA-Place.

PERFORMANCE OF THE SIRES FOR THREE YEAR OLDS IN 2010

Friday, October 29, 2010

1. The 2009-2010 season culminated with the last race held at Hyderabad on 25th of Oct. Racing activity sees a total break at all centres except for Delhi which has a most backward approach towards the sport due to reasons unknown. Apart from the plum events during the winter season, interest of race lovers will be on the juveniles who will be initiated in racing at all centres . In fact a couple of races for the juveniles have already taken place during the last few days of Pune season. The break of a few days provides us opportunity to have a look at the performance of the sires in the year gone by, specially with reference to the three year olds which is a pointer to the young stock of two years who will be initiated to the tracks in the coming winters. A good number of two year olds are already working in the morning tracks and would be active soon on the turf.

2. The early value of a juvenile race horse is primarily judged from the Sire’s potential and established record with the previous crops and his potential to produce classic/graded race winners. The focus remains on winners in the early part of the season as winners of maiden races can then on progress for the tougher competition and higher classification .Sires are known to provide early winners or precocious stock and are preferred for this important trait of theirs. The structure of racing in India provides for such early juvenile winners to pick up better stakes than when they race in handicap races. Hence a lot of attention is given to the Sires who perform well with offspring’s who come to hand quickly and promise more achievements in early stages of their career.

3. Let us now take a look at the performance of the sires for the three year olds during the gone by racing calendar. A total of 1497 live foals ( 56 are got abroads) were reported for the year 2007 by the stud Book Of India publication “Return Of The Mares” and due to various causes a small percentage of these did not race. Out of these about 125 foals from stud farms catering mainly for Chennai and Ooty racing centres from the 5 sires located in that zone ( ALWAYS A RAINBOW, FOYER, MAGISTRETTI, PREDAPPIO and STAR SUPREME ) are not being considered as coverage at these centres is not reported by media and the racing activity is insignificant there. In rest of the country about 365 of these three year olds (listed against their respective sires) have gone on to win races, a small percentage indeed.

4. A total of 142 sires have sired the crop of 2007 out of which 38 sires stood outside the country and the foals were got abroad. 53 resident and 18 standing abroad sires have got winners so far. For record sake as of date 122 registered sires are located in various stud farms and private yards.The details of the winning sires are discussed hereafter. The number of winners and the total produce are given in brackets. The black type winners are listed in capital letters .

Comments:-
(a) . DIFFIDENT has been the most well performed of the lot this year. In his eighth crop he continues to be precocious and versatile. Limitations of stamina is a factor which may deny top labels for his crop. He may get some speedy ones to perform like KERINGDINGAN or STAR FUTURE in shorter versions.

(b) PLACERVILLE and RAZEEN, the two top sires (Hall Of Fame Sires) during the last decade are both aging and the crops are on the decline. One needs to wait for the impressive MAGESTERIAL to come up trumps on the big scene. CAMACHO impressed a lot in his last win and can come up as he has staying abilities in abundance. STAR WARRIOR and STAR EMPIRE have not lived upto the initial promise.

(c) AL NASR ALWASHEEK (Hall Of Fame Sire) continues to be impressive and has stated to go up on the stud farms higher rated Placerville. STRING ALONG & BLACKJACK needs to be considered for progress.

(d) EMERALD CAT has emerged as the impressive sire, his produce is precocious and speedy. He is yet to produce a classic type, MACCHIPICHU is the one who has scope.

(e) BURDEN OF PROOF (Hall Of Fame Sire) has produced flock of winners but does not appear to have any serious classic contender, SIACHEN is a classic hopeful. CARLA, CLEAR MANDATE and EAGLE CLAWS are progressive in outlook.

(f) CHINA VISIT is consistent, has produced some useful off springs, MOONLIGHT ROMANCE is a good one.

(g) GASWAR has done very well in last couple of years. IMMENSE is on the up and KOHINOOR WISH is the most prolific winner so far. ASTOUNDING GALLOP is showing some promise.

(h) GLORY OF DANCER will be prominent in winters on hard surfaces, ELOISE and BEAUTIFUL STRANGER in top competition will do well. ELIZABETH is an impressive sprinter.

(i) IKHTYAR’S produce should be watched with interest, they are on the up, BERLUSCONI , PETRA and KILMINJARO should do well.

(j) ROYAL KINGDOM is another consistent one, SUN KINGDOM and PALLAZIO GRAZOLI have capabilities.

(k) MAJOR IMPACT, MR MELLON , SENURE and WARRSHAN will have there share of fine sprinters, they have limitations of stamina in their blood. STORMETTE, STARRER and KHURSANIYA are appealing.

(l) ONTARIO who has done very well in last few years does not have any outstanding runner this time though his share of winners in sprints will always be appreciable.

(m) STEINBECK (Hall Of Fame Sire) has aged and hardly gets to cover mares.

(n) The freshman sires of the last couple of years have been quite ordinary. The good one EMERALD CAT passed away early, EPICENTRE appears to be one who has a fair share of winners and belongs to a stud which has done very well at Hyderabad and the crop of this stallion appears to be following the trend. HURRICANE STATE has performed pathetically in monsoons, needs to be given time though I feel his crop will not get longer distances. INHABITANT has been pretty mediocre. ITAQUERE POWER and SUSSEX may get winners at lower centres like Delhi/ Kolkata etc.


FRESHMAN SIRES FOR THE YEAR 2010-11



(a). DANEHILL STAR By Danehill x Princess Tracy/Ahonoora has a ltd crop of 8 foals to make any impression in the first year. The sire has a strong male line being the grand son of NORTHERN DANCER and has the prolific sire of the sires DANEHILL .

(b). EUROPION by Nuryev x Cinnamon Rose / Trempolino looks quite ordinary in breeding. The racing performance is good and he has a small crop of 19.

©. IMTIYAZ by Woodman x Shadayid / shaded is a well bred and decently performed sire who comes to a top farm and should evoke a lot of interest as he is likely to replace STORM TROOPER who was quite average performer at a stud which is feeding racers at the prime racing centres. The sire has done well by winning over 1400-2100 metres and is a sturdy performer on the European race tracks.He has a reasonable crop of 21.

(d). MAMBO MINSTREL by Mr Prospector x Minstrella /The Minstrel has average credentials and belongs to a stud farm with ltd potential. He has 17 foals in first crop.

(e) . OATH by Fairy King x Sheer Audacity/Troy has already had two runners on the track due to early arrival of the foals. The sire is a stayer who won Epsom derby and had ltd success in stud duties at Japan. The sire looks good to me and like most other sons of the incomparable NORTHERN DANCER should be watched with lots of interest as he has a large crop also. Plus he is likely to get some well bred mares at the famous stud. The stud farm has shown faith in him as he has a large crop of 40 foals.

(f). QUEST STAR by Broad Brush x Tinac / Manila could not sustain the change and passed away after a short tenure at stud duties at the uncomfortable locales of Rajasthan. The sire was a versatile racer and a stayer to the core. The breeding is quite ordinary as there is nothing much from the grand sire side. He has 24 foals.
(g). REBUTTAL is by Mr Greeley x Reboot / Rubiano. In bred to Mr Prospector the grand son of the famous GONE WEST has a fairly large number (41) of foals. The performance of the sire is average and the first crop has its task cut out to prove themselves here.

(h). SUNDAY DOUBT by Sunday Silence x Pas De Response moved into a stud farm of repute which has been dogged with uncertainty due to loss of sires at regular intervals. The crop of late grand son of HALO should be of interest as he was from a very well established stout male line which has always been the main criteria of imports at this farm. The cross with GRAND DAM of Northern Dancer is very encouraging and may nick well with the available dams here.

TAKE A CHANCE FOR COMMISSIONER OF EXCISE CUP

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

DELHI RACES


1. FASCINATING MEMORY has been well prepared and has looked good in gates. He is well bred and can tackle the hopefuls here. The challenger looks likely to be AIR FORCE ONE who has been prepared and given an easy run. STEEL FORCE and INDIAN BRIDE may trouble the above two.

FASCINATING MEMORY-WIN

2. Take a chance on TAKE A CHANCE today. The horse likes to win early in season and has looked good in tracks, the last run was anticipatory. BEATRICE with the fine run last week will come into contention but she needs more distance to show her mettle. SOLITARY MAN and FOREST MUSIC may run on board.

TAKE A CHANCE-Both ways.

3. KOHINOOR EMPIRE has tracked well and has the top rider. The last run of CLASSIC SPIRIT was too bad to be true, I have a feeling this horse can win if ridden well up.

CLASSIC SPIRIT-Both ways

4. GOLDEN GUN has been tested and should fire well today. FIRST N IMPRESSION was a fluent winner who has the penalty to tackle. GAMATI was a poor runner last week, may have been on purpose. LITTLE CUT is a place hopeful, won due to the guile of the experienced rider last week.

GOLDEN GUN-WIN. FIRST N IMPRESSION-PLACE

5. A poor bunch of runners for the maximum distance, avoidable race. NONIOS will be bet upon due to the fine preparation and has a decent chance. BISMARK has won over this distance a few times but is going for a run. RED REEF is a well bred who has been spoilt by the previous trainer, the mock race was very encouraging. HUGE PRICE is tracking well.

NONIOS-Both ways

6. OYSTER BLUE had won all the way at low weights, will try to repeat. BLACK PARTRIDGE has been given an easy run. SPLENDID MAN has been tracking very well, the rider has to show his worth to do well. SUDDEN IMPACT goes for 3rd run in 7 days and has penalty to deal with in addition.

EAT-OYSTER BLUE. SPLENDID MAN-Place.

CABRIOLET FOR RWITC INVITATIONAL TROPHY

Saturday, October 23, 2010

PUNE RACES


1. SADDLER’S RULE has never won, the field is very ordinary now and he ran well last time. RHYTHM DIVINE can get on board. NURAI is the up setter. SPARKLER who placed last time is advantageously placed.

SPARKLER—Both ways

2. GLOWING STAR looks too good here despite having been beaten as a favorite last time. STAR SYMPHONY has no tracks in this month, has not run for long. HOTTIE is yet to get into smooth running rhythm, can not be backed. SWISS BELLE is the main challenger, the gates were encouraging.

GLOWING STAR-WIN

3. ALIYANA won as a good thing and may repeat based on the timings etc. RED TABASCO was in hiding in last run. OCEAN POWER is a failed favorite, may run well. MYPETHONEY is speedy.

ALIYANA-WIN

4. SEA RULER is the best performed, doubts about the current form. SCHOLAR with this rider can do it. Other two don’t impress.

SCHOLAR-WIN

5. CAMACHO is bred to stay, is the 13th off spring of the fine mare GOURGANDINE, may run well. OCEAN YARRMAN gave notice of improvement in last run. GAURI is bred to stay.

OCEAN YARRMAN-WIN

6. STAR TRAINER has tough handicap. ABSOLUTE REALITY will run a forward race. SAN RAFAEL may not be going over the correct trip. TELL ME MORE should down the favorite.

EAT-STAR TRAINER

7. ARIANE has run with better types, has good form. STAR INVITATION won easily, can repeat. KALINGA STAR has an outside chance. PERFECT STRENGH ran well last time.

ARIANE-PLACE

8. YOU’RE SO BEAUTIFUL has missed her chance last time. SPARK OF GOLD is best on handicap. CABRIOLET has scope to improve. CLARION CALL must be feeling his legs, ignore today.

CABRIOLET-Both ways.

9. MACCHIPICHU is a classic hopeful who can win despite the long absence. DICTATOR is in fine form. ILLUSTRIOUS impressed a lot in last win. BLAZING SPECTACLE is the dark un. MOON FARER has been tracked well.

ILLUSTRIOUS-Place

10. FLASHING SWORD was a forward runner who will run well. FOXTROT has the jockey to deliver. TUSCAN SUN may place if he jumps out well.

FLASHING SWORD X FOXTROT-JODI

11. AQUALINA is capable of beating the lot , ignore poor runs in last few outings. NATIVE LADY and MARIGOLD are inter connected, the last run of later was encouraging. SOLAR ANGEL has worked very well. SAFFRON may upset.

EAT-JODI of NATIVE LADY X MARIGOLD

VENUS ROSEWATER FOR THE PELICAN TROPHY

Friday, October 22, 2010

PUNE RACES


1. EMERALD STAR was given a poor race last time, has worked well. The very well bred STAR GLORY was finishing on in last run and has potential to go extra distance. CULCREIFF is unreliable and may place.

STAR GLORY-WIN

2. A tricky race where AGHA has a chance to upset despite the age. CLOUD COVER should not stay.

EAT FAVORITE

3. WILD TORRANAADO is speedy and has the jockey for the job. If POLARISER breaks out well he will win. HIGHLAND WARRIOR and SILVER SOUL have a chance to place.

POLARISER-WIN

4. Both DANCING DAME and STAR BUILDER don't impress. The race should be between TYUMEN and GAME OF POWER.

TYUMEN-Bothways

5. MUSICAL RYTHM belongs to a very poor trainer, the horse can win. The upsetter could be BLAZING SPEED. HOUDINI should place on his consistency.

EAT FAVORITE

6. CONFISERIE and GRANADOS should fight out. SNOW QUEEN has a bad rider.

CONFISERIE X GRANADOS-JODI

7. SOLID ROCK is due to score as he has come down in class. AMARANZA may run well, has a good jockey. WELLS FARGO and BORN DESTINY can compete well.

SOLID ROCK-Place

8. THREE OF ARTS will be tried after the fine last run. BLADES OF GLORY looks good on handicap. TATTENHOE is due to score, the jockey is mediocre.

THREE OF ARTS--Both ways

9. The two fillies SVELTE LADY and VENUS ROSEWATER both impressed in last outings and should be fighting out. ASHWA PARVEZ and STAR VISION should be considered for place.

VENUS ROSEWATER-WIN

10. ARABIAN EMPIRE was a notable finisher in last run, the horse is still a maiden. INNER HARMONY has a decent chance. Ignore last run of CELTIC MANOR. ALOMAHORA is the upsetter.

ARABIAN EMPIRE -Bothways

DIVINE GRACE FOR DASHMESH AND HARGOBIND STUD CUP

Thursday, October 21, 2010

DELHI RACES

1. GAMATI is an aged mare who is speedy and has won 6 sprints in life, can run well under the fly in mediocre jockey. GO WITH THE FLOW has been given the maximum tracks of all horses in the last three months, however the horse looks likely to go for an airing under the rookie, the sly trainer will try him under a stronger jockey. GREEN RIBBON is the speedy one who has a handicap jockey with some experience, the horse runs best when fresh. YARE is an aged horse who is a winner of 8 races, has come down a lot.

WIN-GREEN RIBBON

2. GLORIOUS BOY and HANSRAJ both ran 5th on opening day after a lot of preparation and they both can do well now. The later was the failed favorite who has chance to redeem. LITTLE CUT had won in poor company at the end of season and has handicap against repeat. ASHWA SABBAL with a rookie is better placed here.

ASHWA SABBAL-Place. EAT/AVOID-LITTLE CUT

3. SHUBH SHUBH is a top class sprinter who looks good despite the top weight. QUALITY ASSURANCE needs more distance. RED CAT did not win all through the last season, has come down. AFEA ran well towards the end of season and has an outside chance to do well. OEF TOBA at bottom weight should be leading up front with intentions to run away, has tracked speedily.

SHUBH SHUBH-WIN. OEF TOUBA-PLACE

4. JEWEL STAR ran a distant 3rd, may improve. SUDDEN IMPACT lost in a close finish, had saddle problems. DIVINE GRACE looks better placed than AMITY. She is definitely better than REAL SCOTCH.

DIVINE GRACE-WIN . PLACE-SUDDEN IMPACT

5. KING’S CHALLENGE has worked well, the rookie is a worry. BLACK PARTRIDGE is an early bird and will do well . Keep an eye on GOLDEN GUN who had won a good gamble at the end of the season with his rider, the horse is maintaining form to worry all. OYSTER BLUE at low weights has a decent chance, the horse had disappointed on relocation from the western circuit.

BLACK PARTRIDGE---Both ways. Eat-KING’S CHALLENGE if favorite.

6. KIANA is by the top class mare TIANA and has tracked well. It was a decent 2nd to a good youngster ASHWA PANNA at the end of the season and can win for the betting stables. You may not get decent odds. The main challenger is likely to be KEMROCK who has spent the last season in wilderness. The horse has been well prepared and the presence of Marshall may be for a coup here. The rest of the bunch look pedestrian and FIRECRACKER is the one who may run a forward race Avoid ADDICTION who is unreliable.

KIANA-WIN. Fancy Bet--KEMROCK

CLASSIC SPIRIT FOR WELCOME CUP

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

DELHI RACES

Racing activity gets underway at the capital after the longest break of nearly six months. The reasons were the wet conditions due to heavy rains, poor management by the authorities in the race club management and then the security of the area for the recent CWG games. Very little effort has been made to improve the conditions at the race course and there doesn’t appear any freshness about anything in the surroundings. My heart goes out to the owners and the concerned persons who still continue to patronize the least liked racing centre in the country.

As far as racing is concerned a few changes may be seen in this season, the reigning champion trainer for many years A Khan has got his work cut out and has to have all the luck with him to retain the spot, many well breds have unfortunately died in his yards and that is not a good omen. His main strength, jockey Rajinder is carrying a noticeable pot belly and has the looks of about to retire professional.

The induction of many newly trained apprentice jockeys in almost all the stables is likely to make things interesting as a few of them will start to make their allowances count and some will be duds who will work as riding boys mostly.

Tipping for the days races looks hazardous as the very long break is definitely going to show handicappers in poor light, yet an honest attempt is being made out of sheer habit.


1. KATMAI has been tracking well and can run prominent here. POWER HOUSE carries a penalty for the win in the last stages of previous season, the latest work was promising. ABSOLUT needs more distance. HANSRAJ has impressed in works, has a rookie. SAM ALDO who has trained well will contest the issue with the experienced rider. JEWEL HUNT is coming to hand. POMMERY is a speedy one at low weights.

HANSRAJ-Both ways or SAM ALDO-Place

2. SINGH IS KING has been very regular on tracks and is in fit condition. GENIOUS BOY impressed in gates and is showing lots of promise. FIRST N IMPRESSION who runs very keen in first run should score as he has worked very well. GREEN SEALS is notable in tracks and may run well.

DOUBLE DELITE-WIN. JODI –ENCHANTED X DOUBLE DELITE

2. OCEAN SONATA has been given a couple of mocks, has the stable jockey and faces poor company, he will be fancied but may not make it. CORGITO ERGO SUM has been trained well, is being ridden by the favorite jockey of this breeder cum owner, has potential to win. The competition will emerge from SWOOSH who is being ridden by the champion jockey, the filly was a noticeable late finisher and will run different now.

CORGITO ERGO SUM-WIN. Swoosh—place

3. STARRY OCEAN is a well bred who finished in money last time and should be in reckoning now. AVON CREK is a mediocre bred who has been given non try runs so far, will be tried with the retainer jockey now and looks good for place.

HONEYBEE-Both ways

4. DARE DEVIL may run well, can not be considered for win. MOUNTAIN WIND is full brother to speedy SChOLAR and IBERIAN, looks prepared. SCARLET PIMPERNEL is tracking well. SNOW BLAZE is by the speedy Razeen mare and looks best on tracks, the gates were very impressive.

5. ICEBREAKER has class and the tracks are very good, the worry is the weights. YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL is ideal for a mile, in last run got nabbed by an old and out of form horse. ECSTATICA has impressed a lot in last run, has won over shorter distances with ease in many races, can upset the fancied ones if ridden in check.STERILITZIA has matured well as a four year old, can do well.

6. SUPREME FORCE is bred for speed, the trainer has failed to get the best out of this one, can win though as the field is weak. ALIYANA went back after leading into the straight, may be fancied on that count. HOTTIE has been tracked by this rider always, can do well now. MOONLIGHT BEAUTY gets a proper rider first time, should be involved .

7. WALKING TALL has a scope to run well, looks improved from latest gates. BLADES OF GLORY has handicap in favor. PAPER KING is down in scales, the jockey is the factor here for the gambling stables, can win on backing. MUSICAL RYTHM from a hopeless trainer is the failed favorite here.
