MUMBAI RACES 25 DEC 2007
1. VICTOR has been given a run, the rider is strong. SUDDEN IMPACT has improved a bit. KAI has a foreign jockey and has not been exposed on the track like other horses of this trainer, may run well as the breeding is OK.ARABIAN HERO is at an ideal handicap to upset. CASUAL LOOK has been an expensive failure so far, but the grapevine suggests it was not on job as a favorite at Pune.
CASUAL LOOK(Days Best)-VICTOR- ARABIAN HERO
2. TEASER is always finishing on the board. JOLTEON has been given a mock race, may run well. FLYMETOTHESTARS & GANADOR have a slight chance each. GREY STORM appears to be Antia’s horse for the day though the distance is a bit sharp for this winner of 4 races.

3. SPIRITUAL FLAME &STAR CRUSADER had run close over 1800m, the later is bred to stay. MILES AND MORE thrashed the relatively weaker field last time, all have to beat this Razeen gelding. CITY TAMER appeals on handicap & preparatory works, will go close.

4. R Shaikh failed to get home on RISING EMPEROR, today he gets a chance to redeem himself astride the elder brother RISING WARRIOR.PACE MAKER is in form. FANTASY LAKE may surprise. SEPIA TONE has been prepared.

5. WAFADAR has not earned anything for this betting owner over more than two years, the bills must be hurting. This horse had last won class two with 61 Kgs & Gallaghar on top at Bangalore. The irish jockey is an indication that it may be coup horse against some fancy favorites. GENERALLISIMO was a good 2nd last time, can win. SCHNELL won start to finish last time, it is beating EVATINA in tracks. FESTIVE LIGHT may exploit the weight advantage. The presence of four runners from N Lagad’s stable makes this a tough race.
GENERALLISSIMO-SCHNELL-WAFADAR
6. MATATA PRIDE is eye catching in works, this half brother to KANTHARA & GAEA will like the trip also. CROWN PRINCESS is a failed favorite , should improve. GOLDEN SKY has been shifted along with some other hopefuls from Bangalore to have a tilt at the richly endowed races at Mumbai, the tracks are suggestive for this half brother to the good type BOLD FAITH. NORA is partly owned by MAM , the mare FREE RADICAL was a good 2nd in Poonawalla Million. The filly is tracking very well.

7. SANGOMA is well bred & looks like it has come to hand. URBAN WARRIOR may not stay. HOUSE PERFECT will like this trip. TARA’S BULBA may get into a galloping mood.

- 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.
