PUNE RACES
1. BU ATTIFEL is an unreliable type, it has placed both times & will be involved under the foreign jockey. MUSTANG SALLY is being regularly worked but the distance is a bit sharp. ARBIAN HERO has not placed for long, this speedy type should go all the way. LATEST NEWS is a versatile old horse who regularly makes money.
ARABIAN HERO(6)-BU ATTIFEL(1)-MUSTANG SALLY(4)
2. FLASHING FLAME will be targeted for a hat trick, he is in top form. MILES AND MORE only runs well when backed. KINGDOM OF LOVE is running forward races. FIERY FORTUNE is at a low weight, the distance suits.
FIERY FORTUNE(6)-KINGDOM OF LOVE(3)
3. WILD TEMPER may not get this distance. ROCCOCO gives hope after placing last time, it has been prepared. SECRET PILGRIM is well bred & in good form. RAGHUVANSH was pulled last time as far as I am concerned though some may think otherwise, it has the blood lines to go over this trip, the handicap is good.
RAGHUVANSH(7)-SECRET PILGRIM(5)
4. HEIFITZ does not appeal for a win. CYCLADES won well, has a rookie jockey for an outside chance. FESTIVE LIGHT is a speedy type, the rider is average. MONOPOLY could not match up to the too good ANGELS GLORY, looks good here. ZARZANTAINE may improve.

5. MYSTERIOUS HEIGHTS was ridden out to finish on board, he is tracking well. AEGINA named after the beautiful Greek Island has not been given an all out run, should be in the thick of things today. FULL FAITH is a speedy type, ran in front last time. SNOW BLIND was pulled in both runs at Mumbai, may be on the go now.

6. On paper AUTONOMY, the winner of PBM Million looks taller than the field. The worrying thing is the Pune track which tends to be soft & may be a genuine race run. JUVENTUS is the one who has run close to AUTONOMY in Mumbai, his last win was highly impressive. DIVINE is improved a lot, this son of the top sprinter TIDE OF FORTUNE finished on very well in last run. SALTORO & NORA are both well bred & won their last starts in style.
AUTONOMY(1)-JUVENTUS(2)-DIVINE(4)
7. OYSTER PEARL finished on 2nd despite a slow getaway, the tracks are good. ENCELADUS is tracking well. ENGKEHART is showing fluency in trials, has a good jockey. RED INDIAN was eased up when it could not match up to the speedy CAIRNDHU, it may surprise at low weights. STAR ALWAYS won in record time, may repeat.
STAR ALWAYS(8)-OYSTER PEARL(1)-ENGLEHART(6)
8. VEERA WANG, a sister to black type CELTIC PRINCESS has been steadily prepared. LIVER POOL won comfortably & will be in contention again. Aptly named VIJAYI BHAVA has been running forward races. CENTRE OF ATTENTION placed both times, the tracks are suggestive.
VEERA WANG(3)-CENTRE OF ATTENTION(9)-LIVERPOOL(4)
9. MR GREEDY finally showed off his pedigree by thrashing the field in last run, will be involved from the word go. BLADE RUNNER has been a failure so far. SECRET TALK is working well after a decent 2nd.TOUCH OF LAND flopped in last run, it may also head for the hills of Ooty for private preparation & then recovering for all the efforts at Mysore next year.

- 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.
