MUMBAI RACES.
1. ETERNAL FLAME had beaten COSTA DEL SOL in BPS, the later went on to win the plum event of PBMM and the former did not compete, most probably had some ailment which I can not figure out as the owner always races his wards for richer stakes. The horse has been tracked well in last fortnight and looks fit. HIDDEN SOUL beat a decent type NIOBRARA at long odds, has improved in works. POLISHED CHROME may run better in a sprint, has shown fast tracks. ALISHAS PET was an always 2nd runner who is working nicely. Anvil star is a nice bred who is showing out in works but has a weak rider.
ETERNAL FLAME-WIN
HIDDEN SOUL/POLISHED CHROME-PLACE.
2. SHARP WITTED is yet to place, has been worked since transfer here. AD ASTRA was a faraway 2nd who has a huge rider switch, distance will suit. ADMINISTRATE has shown improved tracks, is from an international sire. NIGELLA is down in scales, was pulled last time and has a useful rider today.
NIGELLA -WIN
AD ASTRA / ADMINISTRATE-PLACE.
3. On performance SHIVALIK SHOWERS stands out in this class, is impressive in preparation also. SHIVALIK VIEW is a nice bred on the up and maintains form. HELPING HAND is a failed favorite over this distance in earlier race.SNOWING was a useful 2nd who has a chance to place again. LORD JIM won warding off under a normal rider and has improved a lot since then, goes at low weights.
SHIVALIK SHOWERS-WIN
HELPING HAND/ LORD JIM-PLACE.
4. BRYNHILL had caught up with DANCING PRANCES in last run, the later is a top sprinter at this centre and has to be beaten in current form. NEFYN is the grand oldie who may throw a scare as he has shown good improvement. SPEED SIX is the Bangalore champion sprinter , was a close 3rd in last years sprinters and has better scales vis a vis D PRANCES today. SOLOMON ran below expectations in last race, may have been a ruse, can spring back based on preparation.
SPEED SIX-WIN
DANCING PRANCES/ BRYNHILL-PLACE.
5. RULE DOWN UNDER was slow off yet did well, tracks are impressive. FIBONACCI SEQUENCE ran a poor race and looks jaded in tracks. SIMPLY SWEET did not like the step up in distance, has worked well. LA TRAVIATA was a going away winner who has stiff penalty.STARISTOCRAT is a good type who has looked in fine shape and has low weights
.
STARISTOCRAT-WIN
RULE DOWN UNDER/ SIMPLY SWEET-PLACE.
6. AN ACQURED TASTE has shown out in both the mocks and looks in fine fettle. ASTAPI is a good stayer who has pleased in gallops. TINTINNABULATION has an awesome record and is in top fettle, will fight out. WIND STREAM maintains form , last win was a positive improvement. TIGER TOPS has the distinction of being the bridesmaid in Indian derby, has oldies who will make it a really interesting contest.
TIGER TOPS –WIN
AN ACQURED TASTE/ TINTINNABULATION-PLACE.
7. PRETTY HOT has a handicap chance, last two runs were below par. BLUE BAY looks fit, ignore last run. STORMY DAY has been given easy runs, Antia has the top rider now. PADMAKOSA was an impressive winner who has to beat the penalty. GRAND MARCH is bound to run a forward race, has a short fuse . PLAN B was a good 2nd who may scrape through with a forward run under the rookie.
PLAN B –WIN
PADMAKOSA/ STORMY DAY-PLACE.

- 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.
