MUMBAI RACES.
Distrubing trend of hot favorites not performing at the main centre is evident, one always argues that Mumbai is the only place where handicap is often the principle factor, but end days of the season suggests that the bookies are taking over, avoid heavily backed horses like PHILADELPPHIA, VISION OF ROMANCE and ROYAL ECCLAIR, all ran as per scheme.
1. HOPE SPRINGS has come to hand with last run and is tracking nicely.GUNGADIN may try to place with rider switch.ARMEL won all the way and has an allowance rider to ward off penalty.MYTHICAL SUNRISE may find the sprint unsuitable, is well rested and rider repeats. GOLD STREAK took off like a scalded cat and ran out of steam close home, with a rookie and lesser distance she has a chance.
GOLD STREAK(12)-WIN
HOPE SPRINGS(1)/MYTHICAL SUNRISE(11)-PLACE
2. KOROL ran a disappointing race last time but has excelled in tracks, is from a dam bred to stay, should run well. SAMBA WARRIOR has run with better ones, last finish was notable.SANS PEUR showed tremendous improvement in last run and won very well, looks to repeat.HEDWIG has low weights.
SAMBA WARRIOR(2)-WIN
SANS PEUR(5)-PLACE.
3. MY FREEDOM was kept back in last run yet ran on board, is tracking nicely.SIMON SAYS is from a trainer who has nothing to show so far, the well bred is being wasted in her yard.WHITE SOX ran an encouraging race and can strike.PRETTY IN PATPONG will tire out , has aged.SUPER ICON is another one from the trainer's yard who has never been tried so far, looks ready to race now.
MY FREEDOM(1)-WIN
WHITE SOX(4)/SUPER ICON(13)-PLACE
4. SPEEDO won easily and will look to repeat .ROSELLA is tracking well, may show out, is from an ordinary mare and has not raced for long. LOCARNO is down in scales, the rider has been a disappointment so far, tracks are suggestive of a try. ROYAL SAPPHIRE has a handicap chance.
SPEEDO(4)-WIN
LOCARNO(13)/ROSELLA(12)-PLACE.
5. Ordinary bred FORWARD THRUST has a rider switch after a useful run.LUCAS is a nice bred who has impressed a lot in gates.RISING BRAVE was done in at the gates yet finished on to be in touch with the pack, is half brother to black type PALAZIOS SUN, has worked nicely.AKKI'S PET is half brother to JOSHUA and is working well.SKY MINE has been given an easy run, the half brother to RUSSIAN LINK has scope to surprise .
RISING BRAVE(6)-WIN
LUCAS (5)/FORWARD THRUST(2)-PLACE
6. HURACAN is from a bad trainer who appears to have schemed the very bad performance from public fancy R ECCLAIR yesterday.JEENA has the weak rider repeating, may place.KOMMANDANT may be tried now after an improved effort, ignore if favorite.ATALYA was well waited with and won at good odds, has penalty to face.DIABLO maintains form and has a good handicap, last win was a fine one. RITZ is a badly failed favorite , may have been a deliberate ploy of the dubious trainer.
DIABLO(14)-WIN
RITZ(15)/ATALYA(6)-PLACE
7. CARBONARA is working well, concedes crucial weight.MIKAYA won impressively and looks improved. SUPREME GENERAL has been nicely prepared, impressed in mock, breeding is nothing much, performance wise as both the dam and grand dam were non raced, bloodlines have promise hence the dam is costly. FURY flopped as a favorite. NEVER SAY NEVER has low weights , was an impressive runner in last two outings, may score at decent odds.
NEVER SAY NEVER(8)-WIN
MIKAYA(3)/SUPREME GENERAL(6)-PLACE.
8. CAIELIN is an ordinary bred who ran in distress as a favorite, has been trained.KING OF KILLEN ran a good forward race as a non tryer, intent is doubtful with these rider turned trainers.COUTSHIP has been prepared for long, has been shown an easy mock, the half sister to good type MAISHA has credentials.LADY COACHMAN is a nice bred who is showing out with smart tracks.
COURTSHIP(8)-WIN
LADY COACHMAN(10)/KING OF KILLEN(4)-PLACE.
9. VICTORIO won authoritatively and has a rider who is scoring here, may repeat .ALIBOXER is a weak bred with a bad draw.BULL DOZER may run better , was given a botched up ride as a favorite.BARYSHNIKHOV showed his true form with a runaway win, can repeat on a similar hard ride.
BARYSHNIKHOV(9)-WIN
VICTORIO(2)/BULL DOZER(6)-PLACE
DAYS BEST=== DIABLO

- 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.
