MUMBAI RACES
1. STAR OF GIBRALTOR is the youngster here who looks out of sort as last run was poor and tracks are not convincing. TITIAN has fought out and lost both times, the hapless rider may get a win. LIVING THE DREAM was conceding weight in Race 48, gets a good advantage to consider now.
TITIAN.
2. CELESTIAL CALL goes over pet trip, the field is weak. ARZAAN may get on board. RISKY BUSINESS was given a run, has worked well. PUMBA was kept easy in a sprint, added trip will suit if tried. ALEJANDRA is bred for sprint, trainer is taking a chance, may not do well.
PUMBA-ALEJANDRA-RISKY BUSINESS.
3. HOME ALONE has tough task with penalty. ARTIC MINSTREL appears to be in good form and may be tried. ARISTOCRATIC has come down in scales, last effort was fair. AWESOME SMILE has been forward, gets a good jockey.
ARISTOCRATIC-AWESOME SMILE-ARTIC MINSTREL.
4. AFROJACK is bred for speed and has a chance to win. BARRINGO has been tracking for long, will fight out. VICTORIAN VICE ran green and may run true now, distance is sharp.
AFROJACK-VICTORIAN VICE.
5. STRINOFMYHEART has good speed to keep interested well into the straight, but the class penalty is against a repeat with this rookie. ANGEL’S PURSUIT & TAMARAI are the two 5 year olds who can upset, both are regaining form. REBECCA has good initial speed and will run well here. ALIYANA could not deliver last time and the owner P UDHAS went home SAD that day, has a handicap jockey now. AFLAME is in form to go for it.
ANGEL’S PURSUIT-REBECCA-TAMARAI.
6. ANCIENT WONDER is in best form of his life. ATTILA has lots of reputation, goes over ideal trip. BEAUTIFUL STRANGER is the one who was a fighting 4th and can be a serious contender now. FOREST FLAIR has a lot to do well, preparation is good. Watch out for WEIZHOU , he looks improved from works and gets a try jockey now.
BEAUTIFUL STRANGER-ANCIENT WONDER-WEIZHOU.
7. NATIVE KNIGHT struggles in last win, weight is against. AIRPLAY has been given a run, can win now. BERLUSCONI should be considered after the last good win.
AIRPLAY-BERLUSCONI.
8. SMART STRIDER looks good and should win if tried genuinely. A CHILD is a well bred who needs a run. HALLE ran a weak race last time. NIGELLA was a fair 4th to some good ones, has a good chance if favorite falters.
SMART STRIDER-NIGELLA-HALLE.
DAYS BEST===SMART STRIDER

- 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.
