PUNE RACES
1. SUDDEN IMPACT has come to hand, he is bound to improve after placing first time in his career. ACCEPTANCE has been backward for too long, should start to earn soon. LADY TROOPER should be fancied based on her 2nd to DRESENDO. KHUBSOORAT has been given a couple of gates.
LADY TROOPER-SUDDEN IMPACT-ACCEPTANCE
2. MOUNTAIN KING has a jockey who has been flown in from Mysore for this run. GOLDEN ORRA is a failed favorite who is now being produced for a more suitable distance. NARA may be in contention if she gets away well. OPERA ROYALE may run a forward race.
GOLDEN ORRA-MOUNTAIN KING-NARA
3. EL BUNDUQ is a speedy type. FIGHTINF FANTASY is blazing the tracks, he has been very well prepared. YANKEE LANE was a notable front runner in last run, will be there for sure. RULE OF LAW has a speedy pedigree. SNOW BLIND is working well.
YANKEE LANE-FIGHTING FANTASY-SNOW BLIND
4. DANCING DYNAMITE is in top form, all would be looking to down him because of the heavy weight on his back. ANTONIOS ran a reasonably OK race, should improve on that run. GENTLE KNIGHT was a big let down in last run, it was backed down heavily but did not get into action when the race came to a boil, may be it was a ruse of the cany owner. GO GUZZI GO was a good winner, can fight out here also. TSESEBE is by the black type ESTONIA, the weights & the good rider give her a decent chance.

5. CAIRNDHU is in irresistible form, winning the last start in record time, the choice of the rider is questionable. LAGO MEDIO is a good type sprinter who is favored on terms vis a vis the last time. OYSTER COVE is a good horse, the last run was disappointing. ESCARVOS is a speedy type, the tracks are good.
LAGO MEDIO-CAIRNDHU-ESCARVOS
6. STAR IMPACT has a precocious breeding, the preparation has been noteworthy, may need this run. In Mumbai he had finished on late in SENTINEL’S win. MISTER FIXIT is in forward condition. FIDEL DEFENSOR caught the eye in last run, the jockey switch is evident. BORN SPECIAL has been pleasing in works, the mock race should have helped.
BORN SPECIAL-FIDEL DEFENSOR-STAR IMPACT
7. EVERY BODY COUNTS has been sharpened up well, the last run in Mumbai was very poor. ADAM’S PLEASURE should have benefited from the couple of runs. POMME DE TERRE , the daughter of fatso type mare is quite speedy. SWEPT AWAY comes into contention based on her run in good company last time.

- 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.
