BANGALORE RACES
1. BORN TO PERFORM has been quite consistent on being in the frame and can now win. BURNING AMBITIONS will try to place again. INDRAVATI has been in betting oreder before, the distance suits. ANGEL QUEEN may run well at low weights.
BORN TO PERFORM-WIN
2. ITS MY PARTY has poor form. GAZAKI was perhaps pulled by C Alford in summers, has been prepared to win in this weak field. INSPIRATOR has trainer problems, has often been given runs. COWBOY CAL is a well bred with sly connections, it can win on backing.

PURPLE GLOW was given an easy run, the team is not what it was for years. SILKEN TOUCH is by the speedy sire and can fight out.
BEN
TEN-WIN.
4. LADS GLADIATOR has a chance to place. SUNSPIRIT is a decent sprinter who was un necessarily sent over a long trip, can rebound under the top rider despite the handicap looking very stiff. ABNOBA is a fine sprinter who has handicap in favor. SWEET CAROLINE has an enterprising jockey at low weights.
SUNSPIRIT-WIN.
5. YOU'RE STUNNING belongs to scheming people, should get beaten if fancied. ENDURING SPEED and MAN DOWN UNDER have penalty to defy. SABARI is my chice for an upset victory based on last run.
SABARI-UPSET. EAT-YOURE STUNNING (If Favorite)
6. DUCHESS OF YORK is badly placed in handicap. GUNPOWDER and YAMAS have a fringe chance. SUNSPIRIT has been prepared, ignore last run under a rookie. SUN DAWN is the outsider here.

DAYS BEST---GAZAKI
Blogs of Note
- 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.
