MUMBAI RACES
1. RUBY ROCKET was a good gamble in the last run where she trashed the opposition. Though the handicap is not in favor an encore can not be ruled out. CALL TO ARMS who was hampered for room in last run was finishing on, can win today. TIGRESSE NOIRE won an uncontested race as the favorite was not on the job.
CALL TO ARMS-RUBY ROCKET
2. ALGO MAS was a close looser last time who will try to win. BEAU MONDE impressed in a mock race, may be tried as there are three horses from the same stable. HIDDEN DRAGON has good initial speed. JEWEL STAR has been given runs over unsuitable distances, should like this sharp trip as he is bred for a scurry.
JEWEL STAR-ALGO MAS-BEAU MONDE
3. EL BUNDUQ is speedy brother to CALL TO ARMS, hw ran a good forward run in race No 200. SENTINEL a half brother to MANI AT EIGHTY has been well prepared by continuous gates. SIR TAJ may need more distance. STAR IMPACT is working fast. SNOW BLIND was given a very loose ride by Grant when it ran green, may go all the way.
SNOW BLIND-EL BUNDUQ-SENTINEL
4. BORN TO LEAD was suggestive in the last run. PREMIER PERCEPTION may run true to tracks it is showing, the pedigree is for speed. TEARAWAY was a surprise winner who has a strong jockey. ARABIAN PRIDE appeals on weights.
ARABIAN PRIDE-BORN TO LEAD-PREMIER PERCEPTION
5. RAVE ON is in fine form. CABINDA won with a top load, can defy the penalty. TRUE ELEGANCE had won a sprint easily before being raced over longer distances, can surprise. NEED FOR SPEED is working well. XIAMEN is speedy.
CABINDA-XIAMEN-TRUE ELEGANCE
6. ANTONIOS is well bred& showing out in works. FORCE OF LAW ran a good 3rd to CYCLADES. YANKEE LANE may place. EKHABINSKYA is half sister to good type DANCING IMAGE, the eye catching tracks are indicative.
EKHABINSKYA-FORCE OF LAW-ANTONIOS
7. SIMPLY PERFECT will try to go all the way. BINEE comes out best based on comparative runs. MERCEDES may place. HOUSE PREFECT has been on verge of showing out, may surprise.

- 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.
