MUMBAI RACES
1. HONEYDAY is a speedy type who has a mediocre jockey. MAVERICK has a decent handicap chance, the ideal distance would be a bit more. MAGICAL MANTRA is a failed favorite over a staying trip, may surprise. THE FIRST LADY is at tidy weight with a carry forward of Pune form.
THE FIRST LADY-HONEYDAY-MAVERICK
2. A race for owner Wadhawan to win as he has four runners. OCEAN CLIPPER who ran a game 2nd should be the obvious choice but the main fly in jockey is riding STARRY OCEAN who has worked well. STAR OF ROSES has also the benefit of a race run.
OCEAN CLIPPER-STAR OF ROSES
3. OH CALCUTTA has been tracking well and has a strong rider to build up on last encouraging run. GLORIOUS MISS has the new fly in rider for the controversial trainer and should be in the fray based on am improved run in last race. STEP BY STEP was often a failure at Pune, change of centre may help. NUNCIO has come down in handicap.
OH CALCUTTA- GLORIOUS MISS-NUNCIO
4. SEA RULER is the hype horse who is a derby hopeful, has impressed in tracks. GO GUZZI GO is a game horse for this distance. THANDA is at an attractive handicap.
SEA RULER-THANDA
5. ALWAYS had won well and has to beat the penalty, the rider gives him an outside chance. SHODAAN was an impressive 2nd but has a very ordinary jockey. ANYTIME MONEY may be in the hunt here as he can get this trip. RED CLOUD had impressed in a few of his runs and can win if ON.
RED CLOUD-ANYTIME MONEY-ALWAYS
6. AUTOCRAT who is working well is a well bred, last run was easy.SEA WARRIOR is a well bred who was a fighting 2nd. PEREGRINE FALCON was once a well backed favorite, may place. RIVER RULE was a good 2nd but belongs to the same owner as SEA WARRIOR so only one may be competing seriously. SI COMO NO has been just about there about in her runs. SINE QUA NON got beaten by a superior NEFYN and should be fighting out now.
SINE QUA NON-SI COMO NO- SEA WARRIOR
7. ALASKA was a front runner in last race, may be tried today also. TOP ACTION runs well when fresh, has a decent jockey. ARBUDH is game for this distance, has a poor jockey. MUSICAL RHYTHM has a try jockey. SOLID ROCK has form to go by.
TOP ACTION-ALASKA-MUSICAL RHYTHM
8. KAPATHOS has to beat the penalty but he looks like a good handicapper. RED DRAGON runs in this class after some good performances in age group races. RIVER BLITZ is tracking well, needs a run. FLAMING ARROW has been well prepared at Pune and after the last run looks to be in fighting form.
FLAMING ARROW-RED DRAGON-RIVER BLITZ
9. HICKORY has the rider to be in the race even at top weight. BEMISAAL was in betting order in last flop run, may run better now. PRIME TIME has the strong rider for the gambling stable, the horse has potential. THE RIGHT MAN may run well.
PRIME TIME-HICKORY-BEMISAAL
DAYS BEST===SEA RULER
DOUBLE=====THE FIRST LADY X FLAMING ARROW

- 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.
