BANGALORE RACES 05 JAN 2008
1. FLEETING ARROW is full brother to good type PEACE PRIZE, may run well on debut. SUPER SHA named after the owner is tracking well after placing on debut. SAFARI was overwhelmed by the much superior MARK OF GIBRALTOR , may win today. TOUCH OF MAGIC is full brother to useful EINSTEIN, the preparation has been exact, will fight out.
TOUCH OF MAGIC-SAFARI-SUPER SHA
2. HOLD THE FORT, still a maiden may grace the board. KANTHEERVA was unlucky not to win his maiden race at Mysore. GLOBAL GENIUS is well prepared & with a poor field to tackle has a very good chance to win.
GLOBAL GENIUS-KANTHEERVA
3. FANTASTIC QUEST is tracking well & going over the ideal distance for this breed. TALL GUY is speedy. EXCELLENT ABILITY is well bred but may not run well on debut as is the case with most horses of Byramji family’s who look good on tracks only. FLYING FLAME can go all the way.

4. STORMING BROWN by the classic mare has been a disappointment, she could not win in Mysore, the tracks are appealing. JERSEY POWER , a costly purchase with a poor trainer may show improvement. LIGHTNING BLUES may not stay the trip. POWER PUNCH a very well bred horse looks good on track & handicap.
POWER PUNCH-LIGHTNING BLUES-STORMING BROWN
5. MOTHER’S PRIDE warmed up in the straight to win easily, can stay. WELCOME BACK did not like the distance at Hyderabad, the produce of China Visit has yet to show out over distances. WONDER SMILE is by a grade 1 winning sire& should easily account for this very mediocre field.
WONDER SMILE-MOTHER’S PRIDE
6. ALINSKI has a very poor jockey. MY WINNING CHARM would have won with any other trainer as the present one is only interested in making money by negative betting on his favored horses, will only win if odds are lucrative. DAMGOOD has a try jockey. LOOK ALIKE is working well. DARK TAN is speedy.
MY WINNING CHARM-LOOK ALIKE-ALINSKI
7. ASIATICUS belongs to the worst connections at the centre. SECRET FURY has been off for long. CIAMPINO has a fight on hands, his last run was eye catching. ORO NIERO is a game horse. ROCOMARA is still a maiden though he could have won on a number of occasions.
ROCAMARA-CIAMPINO-SECRET FURY
8. PLUM PUDDING’s last run needs to be ignored. ANNA FLEETWOOD, REBORN & CLASSIC MOVEMENTS all placed for first time in their careers in their last runs respectively, hence may be involved again. ACTION HERO is working nicely. DON CHERRY will make a race of it if bet upon by the connections, it is at an ideal handicap.

- 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.
