- 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.

Wednesday, May 25, 2011MYSORE RACES
1. DREAM OF GOLD is a well bred who is showing out in works and should be strongly fancied to win this maiden’s race. Rakesh and his brother have pitched in 5 horses to muddle the issue. I feel that GOLDEN GOAL who is the best performed will be given an easy run and the scheme would be to try ATOM BOMB which has the young Shinde on top, the elder sister to this one BORN BEAUTY had won for their father last week at Bangalore .

BALMORAL CASTLE FOR KARNATAKA POLICE CUP
Saturday, May 21, 2011BANGALORE RACES
A very tough card is framed for the day , handicapping is fine , but other important indicators like track work are minimal and the type of trainers who are participating makes it difficult to judge the true merits of competitors.
1. SICILY is by a speedy mare and has been given a couple of gates. YAWAR is the full brother to Graded race winner TOMSK, but looks underprepared and has a bad rider. The two old adversaries in HNM & MAM should contest this one, both are sly in placing their bets. SOUTHERN BAY is a well bred as the grand dam has given classic type sprinters and PROVOCATEUR is a got abroad from a good sire, has been kept on leash in gate practices.
SOUTHERN BAY-PROVOCATEUR-SICILY.
2. WAIKATO is by a disappointing sire , had tracked well in winters and looks in forward shape from trials, can win under the top jockey. AKILIK is a 4 year old who flopped as a favorite, the field today is inviting. REAL MAGIC has run far behind in winters, may get on board. SHADES OF SCARLET has tracked well.
WAIKATO-REAL MAGIC-AKALIKI.
3. GRAND SUCCESS is a got abroad who is pleasing in works. SUN RICH is from a weak stable who may be out for an airing only. LIGHTNING EXPRESS is showing speed in trials. STARISTA has the best jockey, has not run for a long time but has credentials of breeding . CARAWAY is tracking fast, has run well in winters.
STARISTA-CARAWAY-GRAND SUCCESS.
4. ARROW IN AUTO MODE & SILVER SPRINGS have won a race each at Hyderabad and have worked well, one of them may place by default in the age favorable field. MOUNTAIN RANGE & NEARNESS OF YOU should fight out, the latter has a definite edge of winning at Mumbai, a better trainer and jockey.
NEARNESS OF YOU-MOUNTAIN RANGE-ARROW IN AUTO MODE.
5. ATLANTUS should be fancied as he has run with much better types, no tracks though? BIANCONI has worked well, is a good stayer. OBAN is pleasing in works. BALMORAL CASTLE is at low weights and tracking very well.
BALMORAL CASTLE-BIANCONI-OBAN.
6. WIN AGAIN & COLOUR OF MONEY are working well but are at stiff handicap. FREE LAW was very impressive in his win, the 2nd to LOVELY KISS is a strong indicator. CURRENT RAY is by the top sire for the centre and has the jockey to fight out. FOREST REGENT has tracked well, goes at low weights.
FREE LAW-CURRENT RAY-FOREST REGENT.
7. KARISINI has top weight and a stick less jockey to go over the trip, has tracked well. REZOOM should like the cut in grass and has always run well when fresh. YAMAS is a front runner who has a chance. ALLEZ VITTE has raced with the contenders before and the last run was much forward, should fight out. RICH RADIANT is by a top mare and he has won 3 races over staying trips, can be in thick of things.
ALLEZ VITTE-REZOOM-YAMAS.
8. PARLIAMENT SRUARE is the youngster who has credentials to run for win.
