BANGALORE RACES
Race Musings-Time and again scheming people take the hapless public for a ride, the pity is that these persons do it with regularity and mostly manage to get away with it. In yesterday’s races YOU’RE STUNNING appearing after a change in name from STUNNING GREY with a very ordinary and dubious jockey was backed down form 5 to 2 on to even money. All through the pre race time it was being touted as a stable gamble. The bookies from the ring confirmed that the connections from the other contender ICE MINT had bet on this horse and Chauhan was a non jobber as he is a loyalist of Anniah camp. The odds on ICE MINT who is very well bred and was showing out in tracks went up from 2 to 1 to 5 to 1. A wise look at the credentials of the favorite showed that it had no form, was not tracked and is by a very average Delhi type sire. Yet bundles of money went into thee bookies sachets and how the owners made money via the bookies is for one and all to speculate.
1. SKY EMPRESS has been well prepared, belongs to a well performing owner. NEVER SAY GOODBYE is half brother to decent type DESERT RULE, may need more distance. PARTATONE has been tracking reasonably well. SPARK OF SAPPHIRE is full brother to PYTHAGORAS , the owners were unlucky not to win on their favorite yesterday, may be trying again.
SKY EMPRESS-NEVER SAY GOODBYE -PORTA TONE
2. WAY TO FANTASY may be active under this rider who has ridden well recently without winning . BLACK SPLENDOUR is a winner of 5 races, has been cleverly kept in lower classes all through, the rider has a chance. RAIN MAN may run well. GIVE ME THE MONEY has a terrible rider who is good in pulling favorites. FLIP YOUR DESTINY can run well on backing, the scheming trainer has bought down his runners.
FLIP YOUR DESTINY- BLACK SPLENDOUR- WAY TO FANTASY
3. GIFT OF LOVE had upset the hot favorite in a close finish, should have improved. DIMSUM had gone away for a very easy win, the rider is weak. Play IMMENSE today, going to be my bet of the day. ICE BOUND is half brother to black type SANSKARA, has impressed in preparation.
IMMENSE-ICE BOUND-DIM SUM
4. STAR LEAGUE is knocking for a win, the rider switch is positive. TRAFALGAR SQUARE has been very well prepared, the rider is average. CARRIBEAN PIRATE may place. ZIGGY STARDUST is being urged in tracks, goes under the rider who won on him 3 years back.
STAR LEAGUE-ZIGGY STARDUST-TRAFALGAR SQUARE
5. CAPTIVATING is showing out in tracks, has class but top weights should be a worry. BLINK was a easy winner going all the way, may run well again. SOBERANO is maintaining form. MIGHTY HEART is inconsistent, can not be backed. ADVANTAGE LOGAN has been badly handicapped, will find it difficult despite being very promising in last win. PHOENIX REACH is impressive in mornings. LOWNDES SQUARE is in top form, likes this distance and may upset.
CAPTIVATING- LOWNDES SQUARE- PHOENIX REACH
6. MOON MEMORIES is tracking well, has a chance here even at top weight. GLITERATTO has the best rider to fight out. LUSH LASHES comes out better on handicap, should win if jumps out well. SHER DIL is a good type from a very ordinary stable.
LUSH LASHES – GLIBERATTO-MOON MEMORIES
7. DARK HORSE is an unlucky horse with a sly owner, can not win as there are too many negatives in the horses environment. SEASON’S GREETINGS is tracking well. MANTHARA goes under a rider who won on her 3 years ago nearly at these weights. THUMPING VICTORY was given a soft ride, has capability to out run the weakfish lot. NEEL GAGAN was tipped as a place prospect by the trainer last time, may grace the board now.
THUMPING VICTORY-MANTHARA-DARK HORSE
8. MAN DOWN UNDER is being scrubbed in works. CASH IS KING has been painstakingly prepared, the owner has bought may hoses , should get a winner from the betting stables. ATTATURK has been given 8 easy runs, if it is backed down to win, make your choice. BONZIZN has been given a couple of gates.
CASH IS KING- MAN DOWN UNDER- BONZINI
9. SKY GLIDER is from a failed sire, could not fight out when backed last time. FLEETING SPIRIT is tracking very well, can out run the poor field. MATIAS ran poorly at Hyderabad, has a chance. JALDI has a chance to improve. AMAZING WORLD has initial speed.

- 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.
