MUMBAI RACES
1. MAGICAL MANTRA from a badly performing stable was given a questionable ride last time, the horse has a chance if ridden with intent. BRILLIANT MOON has to defy the penalty for last narrow win. UP NORTH goes over pet distance, last effort was OK. TOMMARROW DREAMS was a notable 3rd and has low weights and rider to deliver.
MAGICAL MANTRA-WIN. TOMMARROW DREAMS-PLACE.
2. INSITE SOUL has been in back waters for couple of years, the winner of two races in now down in class in a weak field. OCEAN SENSATION has a tough task, the rider is the positive. AGAIN GALLOP can build up on last run despite a weak jockey. RISING ASSET may come into betting order , can surprise.
INSITE SOUL/ AGAIN GALLOP-ANYWAYS.
3. SUPERIOR QUEST may win for the dwindling stables, the horse is speedy and has a good rider. SEA TREASURE has a rider switch after the last unwanted win. ELIZABETH is a good type who had won with the rider having a relaxed ride, needs to be backed in sprints. ILLUSTRIOUS is a bleeder, does not inspire confidence in a sprint.
SUPERIOR QUEST/ ELIZABETH- PAIR
4. ARISTOCRATIC was a notable runner who is regaining form. FLOODS OF FORTUNE has been scrubbed in tracks, has a handicap chance. GREAT WHITE beat youngsters last time and needs to be respected for that.
FLOODS OF FORTUNE-WIN. ARISTOCRATIC-PLACE.
5. NATIVE KNIGHT is the highest handicapped maiden in the country, has a chance. STAR ALLIANCE won easy and looks in fine fettle. MYSTIC QUEST has been purposefully bought down, goes over ideal distance under the mature jockey.
MYSTIC QUEST-WIN. STAR ALLIANCE-PLACE.
6. SEA DIAMOND can run for money again. MYSTIC TEMPLE can not be backed after the last flop show. SECRET MIRACLE has finally been made race worthy, needs to be watched. DISTINGUISHED is good on handicap.
DISTINGUISHED-BOTHWAYS.
7. PRINCE OF TROY belongs to a unreliable trainer, has got the measure of ROYAL GESTURE before. The later has been bought down and can reverse the placing under a good rider. SEA BUCANEER has the non try jockey at decent handicap. AL BURZ was passed easily y DAFFODILS, both have to beat the penalty.
ROYAL GESTURE/PRINCE OF TROY-PAIR.
8. AMADEUS has perhaps been the most impressive winner this winter and can win this prestigious race . He is by a fast sire and is working very well. ARCELI is a well bred who won finishing on at Bangalore and should improve. CLASS APART is speedy, may run up front. HAUNTING FANTASY is a comfortable winner who looks improved.
AMADEUS-WIN. ARACELI-PLACE.
9. ASHWA PRABHIR is by black type mare, the brother to LAD FURY may need this run. DARE DEVIL should benefit from the exposure. HILL RANGER may improve. PERSIAN is by the aging sire who has lost steam, the trip suits. SLEDGE HAMMER is by the top sire, has tracked satisfactorily and may go all the way.
SLEDGE HAMMER/ HILL RANGER.
10. MOONLIGHT ROMANCE has been beaten comprehensively by SIACHEN in both meetings, the later os looking very fit and will handle the distance well.
SIACHEN-WIN.
11. GLORIOUS MISS has a rider who has perhaps returned from foreign, the failed favorite horse has a chance. PERPETUATION is a bleeder who is tracking fast. ADAM’S LAW is from the lowly stables, the horse has a chance if kept fit and fed well. RISING GLORY won well and may repeat. THE FIRST LADY had defied handicap to post an easy win, may have improved .
GLORIOUS MISS-WIN. THE FIRST LADY-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.
