MUMBAI RACES
The trend of Thursday’s races should continue today as the card indicates, these race days are very difficult for the punters to survive as the aged horses are very close on merit and it is difficult to know the true intent of the small time trainers and owners.
1. FALLEN ANGEL can build up on last forward run, no tracks since then is a negative. SWEATTY BETTY has been close to winning a couple of times, last effort she was finishing on. LADY BLACK STAR was easy in last run, has a positive rider switch. ALEUTIAN ZONE is being scrubbed for response in the tracks, can upset with the try rider.
SWEATY BETTY-LADY BLACKSTAR-FALLEN ANGEL.
2. ATHOS has the rider repeating to improve upon last 4th. HERZELIYAH is tracking well, last run was weak. BLADES OF GLORY is from the weakest stable in the centre, has to be tried. WELLS FARGO is in fine trim to get involved at low weights.
WELLS FARGO-BLADES OF GLORY-HERZELIYAH.
3. ARABIAN EMPIRE had won so easily that a repeat is very much possible. NANINA is a sparingly raced who can do well. SYLVANIA with this jockey should be hopeful to do well based on the preparation. SOLID ROCK has been eased up after leading in, can upset at low weights.
ARABIAN EMPIRE-SYLVANIA-NANINA.
4. ELECTRA has failed twice as favorite, leave her alone. LAURUS PRIDE is showing forward speed in works. STAR BLESSINGS is in fine form. RADICAL MACKIE has been hitting the front over staying trips, can go all the way in this lot. WINGS TO FLY should do well after the last improved effort.
RADICAL MACKIE-WINGS TO FLY-STAR BLESSINGS.
5. RANTHAMBORE showed maturity in tackling an increased distance in last win, despite the sprinting pedigree has class also, can do well in a mile also. LAKE MICHIGAN is a beaten favorite, the trip suits. ICON has come down a lot and has been given an easy run? SUGAR LOAF has a tough task to stay ahead over a trip.
RANTHAMBORE-LAKE MICHIGAN-ICON.
6. WOVEN DREAMS is by the good sire, has been well prepared. CREAM OF THE CROP is a got abroad who is tracking well. SKYHIGH has run with a tough lot and can win now. STARONBOARD is another one with a good sire and tracking well.
SKYHIGH-WOVEN DREAMS-CREAMOFTHECROP.
7. CARDINAL is the beaten favorite of the 1000 Guineas, has been given rest since then. FIELD MARSHALL has been moved here for the Indian Derby, has enough stamina and speed to last this trip. KNIGHTON is tracking well, has been beaten by CARDINAL & STAR OF GIBRALTOR before. STAR MARQUESS has credentials to do well, change of venue has to be considered. SSTAR OF GIBRALTOR is on the up, trip suits.
FIELD MARSHALL-STAR OF GIBRALTOR-CARDINAL.
8. DOMINATOR has been given an easy run at Bangalore and the relocated, has lot of hype, tracks are notable. SHIVALIK HERO is working well and had won handsomely in Pune. STAR STRIDER is the grandson of top sire RED RANSOM and is showing out in mornings. PORTIA led all the way and won warding off some good ones, should fight for the plum as the breeding is top class.
PORTIA-SHIVALIK HERO-DOMINATOR.
9. BLUE SKY is a speedy one, is maintaining form. SILVER SCREEN was a fighting 2nd to BESPOKE who won again. REBECCA is the youngster with a top jockey after the run in graded race. ISHPINGO won in style beating a heavily backed favorite, should repeat.
ISHPINGO-REBECCA-SILVER SCREEN.
10. JEN’S GLORY is a forward runner who will be interested all the way. FORTUNE HUNTER has the scope to fight out. SHERIFF is game stayer. RANCHO was a well backed favorite who may have been kept easy as the miserly odds were not justified in last run, has worked fine since. EQUIANO has a try jockey to ride out.
RANCHO-EQUIANO-FORTUNE HUNTER.

- 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.
