1. Indian Swift ran 4th & has been prepared for the race. Allegro is trackimg the best but has a poor jockey. Arabian Memories has run forward races. The pedigree of Antonique is not encouraging, the mare has produced rubbish so far despite running in terms races herself.
INDIAN SWIFT-ARABIAN MEMORIES-ANTONIQUE
2. New Pastures, a maiden 5 yr old can never get such a chance to win again considering the poor field. The only threat is from Samrat Ashok who unlike all Puttanna runners has been prepared on the morning track.
NEW PASTURES-SAMRAT ASHOK
3. Sar Team is a classic hopeful who is in good condition. Red Mustang is a good middle distance handicapper. Charlie Brown has been showing out with pacy tracks & may try start to finish tactics.Pride was a start to finish winner last time & is very well bred.
STAR TEAM-CHARLIE BROWN-RED MUSTANG
4. Free Mason has run with better horses than the field .Allonia is well prepared though her last run was very disappointing. Saptashwa has been readied after change of stables.
FREE MASON-ALLONIA-SAPTASHWA
5. Living Luxury was late & wide in last race, she has the credentials to win. Axiology won handsomely on debut but was slow off in the Juvenile Million to realy provide proof of his capability, he deserves another chance. Script ure Destiny appears to have some problem , why didn't he run before in the season, knowing his trainers keenness to show out his flock in the summers. Sunny's Symphony's win was a laboured one.
AXIOLOGY-LIVING LUXURY-SCRIPT URE DESTINY
6. Haunting Memories is so high in handicap that she can only loose due to its rider's antics. Green Bax is slowly begining to show zest on the track.Upper Crust was a speedy winner in classII.
HAUNTING MEMORIES-GREEN BAX
7. Give Me The Money is a forward runner.Alyciaa is only a candidate for a place like all form horses of place specialist S Inayatulla.Lucky Line can only be considered if backed by the owner.Welcome Back has been given fast tracks but may run only at the tail end.
GIVE ME THE MONEY-ALYCIAA-LUCKY LINE
8. Needofthehour won well with an old jockey & has maintained form. Renascent was a poor performing favourite last time.Tatler can only be involved if General Ridge is not in contention, because of the trainer's dillema of a powerful owner in his stable.Excellent Speed was given an easy run last time.Reigning Sky is pedigreed & may repeat despite his surprise win last time in a poor set up. General Ridge has the handicate advantage.
TATLER-EXCELLENT SPEED-REIGNING SKY
9. Bee For You has been tracking well. Brother in Arms finished on as 2nd in his last run. Surreale was an Impressive 2nd during the season. Sun Zone placed first time in his career without being tried.

Blogs of Note
- 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.

OYSTER COVE FOR AKKASAHEB TROPHY
Thursday, July 26, 2007The last three racing foals of the mare Gumbaru Utsu run in three different taces today. A rare occurence, it is visualised that two of them have a decent chance & at least one should win.
1.Victoricia is very well bred & has run decent races at Mumbai. There should not be any problem in the step up in distance today & she should account for Hector who is a winner of two races over staying distances.Pursuit Of Power a 5 yr old has not won any time though he finishes on well.
2. Red Indian ran 2nd to Avec Plasier in a million race & he has been prepared. Oasis Star has the bloodlines & connections alongwith solid track preparations to make him the favourite. Hephaestus is well bred but has a work jockey on top .
RED INDIAN-OASIS STAR-HEPHAESTUS

HOOFBEATS-SHARP MEMORIES-SALAZAAR
4.Salandra looks tall in this weak set up, she finished a good 3rd to late Labuan in her 1st run & should run away today. Socoraro has been prepared to give a fight. No other horse has been given tracks though Buinos Aires has run with better animals.
SALANDRA-BEAUNOS AIRES-SOCORARO
5.Annot was a runaway winner of two races at Pune before some indifferent form or niggle put him backwards. Now he may resume his winning ways on the grassy Pune track. Dancing Diva has speed & Lago Medio is a good handicapper though at a disadvantage today.The Rising has literally no weight on her back in a way & could run away from the field.
ANNOT-THE RISING-DANCING DIVA
