MUMBAI RACES
1. SOCORORO has come down by heaps and is now at a suitable handicap to win over the favorite distance. PRIME TIME is a failed favorite from a betting stable, the tracks are good. GREY ISLAND was finishing on well in last run. BLUSH is a very well bred being trained by a controversial trainer. MOHABBI looked good in last work, the small time trainer has got his gambles working recently.
SOCORORO-GREY ISLAND-PRIME TIME
2. ANGELO has been tracking consistently well thru the season. OH CALCUTTA is going over the right trip, the tracks are good. SEA SPARROW is a gamble horse, got left in gates last time, all have to catch him now as he has been well tuned for the day. DEEP PURPLE is at low weights with a try jockey.
SEA SPARROW-OH CALCUTTA-DEEP PURPLE
3. ECSTATICA is in top form and can make a race of it even against 4 year olds. SEA STAR won in a close finish, has a difficult handicap now. HARMONICA should have benefited from the last run, has raced well against better types. ATTILA is at suitable weights.
HARMONICA-ATTILA-SEA STAR
4. DIAMOND HUNTER is a giant killer, has beaten hopefuls before. PALAZZIO”S SON ran 2nd to too good OASIS STAR in last sprinters cup, the trainer has erred in not preparing him for the important event. FOREST FLAIR has beaten all before and is best on paper. SEA RULER has a chance to upset as he has now the experience of a sprint. SPRINT STAR is the best performed over a mile in this company, the longish straight may be to his liking even in sprint and he may live up to his name.
FOREST FLAIR-SEA RULER-SPRINT STAR
5. BLUE MELLON is attractive in tracks. LIGHT MY WAY ran green as a favorite in last run, has improved and the trip should suit. LIONWOODS is bred to stay, was late to finish in last run. OCEAN YARRMAN is well bred and should improve over this trip. XISCA has run well in first run, was sacrificed in the next, has an outside chance for the leading trainer to score.
LIGHT MY WAY- XISCA-LIONWOODS
6. MASEEHA is the local hope, has won last time by sheer luck, has a poor lot to handle. OROCHI is a fine stayer who was 4th in last stayers cup. CONCEPTUAL has been very impressive winner at S India and is looking good in trials. CLASSERVILLE has age on side to stay.
CONCEPTUAL-MASEEHA-OROCHI
7. LAKHADEMA has his task cut out, the handicap is tight and the field is large to force through. ALASKA ran suggestively last time. SILVER SOUL is working attractively after last place, will be in the fray. INSITE SOUL can upset, has come down a lot. YOUNG OFFENDER has not been ridden by a competent rider for a long time. MARINE ZONE caught the attention with a good run last time
MARINE ZONE-SILVERSOUL-LAKHADEMA
8. OCEAN ODDYSEY is full brother to good type FOREVER YOUNG, is notable in tracks. STAR CRAFT showed lots of early speed in last run. TITLIEST has been just about there, may place. SERENITY has worked well, hasn’t run for a longish duration.

- 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.
