1. The general trend of racing so far has been punter friendly with 50 % favorites obliging, though a fair number have been at miserly odds. On the other side ,32 % “jodis” have been knocked out by outsiders winning. So don’t bank on second favorites to win, either go for the favorite or eat/lay on a “jodi” to be a winner.
2. As expected the offspring’s of BURDEN OF PRROF have done well like the last few years and so far 7 have won, more will be winning in the coming days. When in doubt go for his progeny. GASWAR has been the next best with 6 wins which shows how well he has done after being relocated at Galloping Acres/ Doaba farms whose mares stock has been nicking very well.
3. Jockey J G Sampson seems to be a real good pro in the services of Mr V Mallya’s trainers. His riding, temperament and judgment of the local conditions and opposition has been a treat . Apart from local champion Suraj , no one is in the same league. Follow the two to profit. In fact the blind followers of Suraj and Simpson must have made a bonanza on some of their wins were at good odds. I would also like to mention the tremendous improvement shown by apprentice S Zervan who is a changed rider from what he was in Western India. There is an acute shortage of good jockeys and one wishes for more of the sincere and positive kind who do justice to their mounts. Old timer jockeys have gone on the decline for various reasons, B Prakash, Y Srinath, Appu etc should be avoided when they are on favorite mounts, their present performance is disheartening, there are serious doubts about the intent as well.
4. No trainer has been consistent to be worth a mention except for the duo of Attaolhi and Dhariwal, a lot in their performance can be attributed to the BURDEN OF PROOF and SIMPSON factor. S Padmanabhan is back in business and he is the one who has always done well in summer seasons for last ten years or more. Like last year there should be some good competition from Arjun, Irfan and Neil who have some good ones in their yards.
5. The impressive winners to me have been SWEET CAROLINE, LOVE CONQUERS ALL, ELOISE, AZTEC GOLD, STRING ALONG,SUN KINGDOM, IMMENSE, CARLA in the youngsters group and SPRINT STAR, DUKE OF EDINBURGH, SHOTGUNN and SPEARHEAD in the mature group. These horse should do well in further racing .Of the beaten batch CON ARTISTE, SUNSET BOULEVARD, SIACHEN, ATHABASCA STAR, ART CONNOISSEUR, STAR ASSEMBLY, ONASSIS, TANZANITE, ALLEZ VITTE and MAKE MY DAY may redeem soon.

- 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.
