- 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.

SEA STAR FOR GEN RAJINDERSINHJI MILLION
Sunday, August 30, 2009PUNE RACES
1. Irrespective of the tough handicap, DANGEROUS BELLE can warm up to threaten the field which is very weak. DANCING MONEY is running for the first time in open class, the dam was a speedy type. BLACK PARTRIDGE has a task on hand, should be good for place. ABOVE ALL has come down in scales and can win on backing by the gambling stables.
ABOVE ALL-BLACK PARTREIDGE-DANGEROUS BELLE
2. MYSTERIOUS HEIGHTS could not match up to the too good PHOSPHOR, the latest track was fluent. MYTHICAL has been prepared to race after long time. FIAMMA is the other one who may benefit from the three mock races and the handicap jockey. PACIFIC ZONE may go all the way as he is a winner of three races.
PACIFIC ZONE-MYSTERIOUS HEIGHTS-MYTHICAL
3. ADAM’S LAW has been waited with for a coup. SOPHIE is looking good for a fighting finish. ALHOMORA can repeat, the speedy type looks improved. RACING DREAM is a big let down.
ADAM’S LAW-SOPHIE-ALHOMORA
4. BEAU MONDE was a winner of three races at Pune last year, he is looking fit in trials. WAHY is a good type who has been given a run. SILENCE PRESENCE is tracking well. CLASSIC STAR may shine again in this class as he defied the handicap in last win.

6. BELLA is working well, the blue bred has a handicap jockey for a front run. ALGORITHMS is a nice type with a decent jockey. DUKE OF WINDSOR is bound to be in the fray based on the tracks. FEONNA was a fluent winner from a speedy mare and should encore at these low weights. RIVER STAR was an easy winner, the mock race was notable.
FEONNA-DUKE OF WINDSOR-RIVER STAR
7. FIRST EMPIRE won pleasingly and is likely to run well at this distance also. RED DRAGON has beaten FIRST EMOIRE before. RED CHIEFTAIN is very well bred who looks best on ratings, the lack of a race run is against this good type. SEA STAR won the August handicap in a taking style and may win this scurry as the others all need a bit of distance.
SEA STAR-RED CHIEFTAIN-FIRST EMPIRE
8. AESTHETICS is from a very speedy mare, the latest track was fast. CLAIM TO STARDOM is bred for speed, the gates may have brought her on. TRIGANCE is half sister to AURORA AUREALIS and should be in thick of things. WHISPERING WILLOWS ran 2nd to ARTS and should be fancied to win now, the trainer is known to win only at good odds.
TRIGANCE -WHISPERING WILLOWS- AESTHETICS
9. GERRARD has yet to show out, the rider does well at longer trips. KNIGHT OF WINDSOR has been under the stick in all his runs. FOREST NATIVE won on last stride, has the handicap to beat. RATTLE is the one who can shake them all as he is being waited with. SIR TAJ is impressive in tracks.

TRIUNFO can place again if ridden up front. FOREVER YOUNG comes strongly into the picture due to a very forward last run.
FOEREVER YOUNG-SACRED RELIC-BASKERVILLE
8. KALINGA STAR may place as he ran well enough in last run. PRIME TIME is a failed favorite, can win if he does not veer out on turning for home. RAFAEL is brother to TSESEBE and should run well after an easy outing. SAN RAFAEL is very well bred full brother to ARKHOS and half brother to ESCRAVOS, comes into reckoning based on million’s run.
