MUMBAI RACES
IN VIEW OF SUSPENSION OF K GANAPATHY ALL HIS HORSE ARE LIKEY TO BE FIRING WELL TODAY
1. APPALINA is showing out in tracks, has a try allowance jockey which suggests that the trainer may be trying the horse in this race. MARIPOSA had won under this rider at Pune and has the benefit of an easy run here. MCQUEEN is being urged in tracks. RIVER GEM had flopped as a favorite at Pune, the last track was good.

2. ARABIAN POWER has placed against better horses on both outings. COURAGE UNDER FIRE is tracking well and is likely to fight out for the connections. GYPSY QUEEN has come down in scales, the rider may get her to go all the way. GREY ISLAND has the benefit of a mock race.

3. OYSTER PRINCESS was a good 2nd in last run, the distance is sharp now. ROYAL CROWN is in with a chance with this rider, has sprinting abilities. CHANCELLOR was surprised at top weights, looks a cinch now.
CHANCELLOR-OYSTER PRINCESS
4. FIRE VAULT has a load to carry, can not be fancied despite the good win in last run. CRITICAL ACCLAIM is a fine stayer who is working well. KRUG has been tracking nearly everyday, last run was poor. ENDEARMENT has a task staying the distance. ASHRIDGE is a well bred who is catching the eyes in trials. EQUALITY has come down in scales.

5. PALLAZO GRAZIOLI is the best bred , the dam had won the Poonawalla Multi Million, looks backward from works. SUPERIOR QUEST may run a forward race. OCEAN STAR is a got abroad who has been meticulously prepared and should romp home in this half prepared field. VIA CHASELLAS is bred to stay, has tracked fairly well.
OCEAN STAR-SUPERIOR QUEST
6. BLAZING SPECTACLE has run forward races against good horses, can do well here. SEPIA TONE is down in scales. has a rider switch. IL TABARRO won on last stride, the allowance jockey has his task cut out to repeat. SEA SHOWER has a chance to build on the last effort. DOUBLE DELITE can try to hit the front and get on board.

7. EMERALD STAR has been given decent runs by the aging jockey Pereira, a number of tracks by McCullagh indicate he is ready to strike, take your chance on this one in a very tight field. ARIANE has been well prepared, the mock race and tracks are suggestive. NOTABILITY ran well enough under a rookie to be in contention now. STEP BY STEP can race well if he jumps out well. GERRARD has raced against decent type youngsters. SACRED RELIC has been prepared and given an easy run.

- 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.
