MUMBAI RACES
1.THUNDERING HOOVES won a sprint race in time of 59 plus something last year with this rider, it has the privilege of being a favorite against SET ALIGHT. KISS AWAY is a sparingly raced horse who is likely to win sprints this season. BLUE DAFFODILS is showing good speed in works. PALME D’OR is another sprinter from the same trainer who has a stable jockey.

2. SECRET TALK was 2nd to ACCUMULATE who performed well thereafter, the jockey has a chance against more fashionably bred CALYPSO DANCER who perhaps needs a bit more distance. YAMUNA from the QUEEN ANN line is showing out in works and likely to give the favorite a fight. MARINE ZONE impressed in gates, the half brother to STAR O WAR has an outside chance.

3. MAGIC MANTRA has handicap chance though it needs distance. DOUBLE DELITE who is tracking well has a poor jockey. CAPTAIN’S ZONE ran a forward race at the fag end of Pune season. FOREST MUSIC has placed in sprint race and has weight in favor.

4. CYCLADES is tracking well but this speedy type is conceding 8 Kgs to RED CHILI who was a runaway winner in a sprint, looks very difficult. STAR ADVENTURE needs more distance. CASUAL LOOK is tracking well. VIJAYI BHAVA is fluent in tracks.

5. NATIVE STRATEGY can upset as it has placed in higher class. AURORA AUREALIS is a good type who has run with classic hopefuls. FAIR TACTICS is a speedy type. HERE COMES THE DON is an early bird type, looks likely to make a fight today. WAFADAR has done nothing for a long time, has come down in scales.

6. LOVELY FEELINGS is good on handicap but the jockey is non try type. LEGAL EYE has not raced for long, may have got over the niggles. SUDDEN IMPACT is working well in trials with speedy horses. QUEEN’S COURT was the one who caught the eye in last run at Pune.
LEGAL EYE-QUEEN’S COURT-SUDDEN IMPACT
7. ROYAL CROWN was a good gamble of the owner whose horses are heavily backed or eaten by the bookies. The rider has to defy the handicap to force another win. EXPENSIVE AFFAIR is a front runner type who doesn’t win. GAME OF TALENT was on watch list in Pune, may upset. POLARISER has been a heartbreaker as he keeps getting beaten near the finish post, needs to be considered once again as the break appears to have done him good.

8. ANGEL’S GLORY has won all four times, last time coming from behind and has the scope to win even at this distance. The only serious contender appears to be FLAMES OF FIRE who has won his three races in style. GENERALLISIMO is a game customer despite his age. FLAMES OF FIRE is at a good handicap for an upset.
ANGEL’S GLORY-FEET OF FLAMES-FLAMES OF FIRE
9. BLACK PARTRIDGE, with the good rider may be able to go all the way, no tracks?. MYSTERIO has tremendous speed in the first 600 m may have improved. CHEROKEE has taken time to get racing fit, may run on board. ESHKABINYA is the best bred, the tracks are impressive. ENZO is working well.

10.. YOU ARE MY MIRACLE is by the top sire, the preparation is indicative ,cam the controversial rider deliver on his first mount after lots of questionable rides of last year. NYALA is by the speedy sire, the tracks are fine. FOREST NATIVE is working well. HI DOLLY 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.
