DELHI RACES
1. JUST LIKE A WOMAN had won in class II last year, has been bought down with negative rides, looks a good bet to me under the top rider here, the mare is likely to proceed for stud duties thereafter. CLOUSEAU is still looking for a maiden win, the trip may suit. BAY OF THUNDER won with a better rider in poor company, has been tracking well. ZUETINA has run well off and on and the rider is decent.

2. ENYA is a good type who was a no hopeful in Derby, takes on a bunch of oldies now. SHY BEAUTY is a good handicapper, may run on board. SUBROOS is in the best form for his connections to consider more punts. VAGABOND has a top jockey at low weights.

3. KAJURAHO has the benefit of an easy run, the trainer is yet to score, the rider has a chance. TAANUSH has run with higher class horses in Mumbai/Pune. RABI KOUNGA goes over a bit more distance wise and that may be the undoing of this very fine sprinter, but still has an edge. QUALITY ASSURANCE has been the best in tracks but belongs to sly connections. TAKE A CHANCE is a good type who is working well.

4. ASHWA PUSHKAR is the best bred grand son of the very classy mare HALL OF HONOUR, the last win in clots trial stakes was very impressive. ASHWA PAARTH impressed in maiden win before loosing to the too good ROCK IT. HANSRAJ is catching the eye in tracks, has a speedy sire. SHOCKING STAR was run over a wrong distance when flopping as a favorite, the speedy type has a good jockey at light weight to trouble the favorite here.

5. TURKISH DOLL has yet to come to hand, the trainer is taking it easy so far. RAWSOM was an impressive winner who is very well bred and should repeat. MURBAN has come down a lot, has to get into form. CHARG AWAY may surprise as he is speedy.
RAWSOM-MURBAN-CHARG AWAY
6. HELLO DOLLY is a fringe horse at handicap. PROVENCE is returning after a set back, has run with better types, may need this run. BIG RED lost to ASMA who won again. SHAITAN is at a weight where he is real mischief for the favorite.

- 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.
