PERFORMANCE OF SIRES AND PROSPECTS OF JUVENILES FOR YEAR 2011

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

A. The 2010-2011 season is at midway stage with the break in racing at all centres except the lovely hill station at Udhagamandalam. The period marks the halfway stage of the country’s racing calendar. It provides us opportunity to study the young stock which will be dominating the racing interest in the coming summer/ monsoon months. A good number of races for two year olds (who turned three year olds on Ist Jan) have gone by at all the racing centers. The interest of coming months racing will be on the prospects of the juvenile crop, winners of maiden races, million and multi-million races. The future potential & strength of this young crop will now be judged during the summer/monsoon season, mainly at Bangalore and Pune when the maturing juveniles are going to contest in age group and class races. A fair number of outside horses are going to participate mainly in three year old category in Bangalore, some seriously and some for summering purposes to tone up for kills once back at Hyderabad etc. Apart from a large percentage of the youngsters who have had track experience, some of the maidens are still to have a feel of real racing and some exciting prospects are likely to catch the attention as they mature and race.

B. The early value of a juvenile race horse is primarily judged from the Sire’s influence and established record with the previous crops or expectations as per pedigree and performance in case of freshman sires. The dams are equally important and enhance the prospect with established families, bloodlines and personal track performance. The most significant aspect in judging a Sire’s value is his potential to produce classic/graded race winners. Most of the exciting stock with good bloodlines in picked up by big buyers at the prominent centres in our country, still the prospect of getting a good colt or filly is every owners dream. An owner, will always want to have horses who win maiden races early and go on to be groomed for the harder competitions .Sires are known to provide early winners or precocious stock and are preferred for this important trait of theirs. The structure of racing in India provides for such early juvenile winners to pick up better stakes than when they race in handicap races. Hence a lot of attention is given to the Sires who perform well with offspring’s who come to hand quickly and promise more achievements in early stages of their career.

C. Let us now take a look at the winner producing sires for juveniles this year. A total of 1696 live foals ( 136 are got abroad ) were reported for the year 2008 by the stud Book Of India publication “Return Of The Mares ” and due to various causes a small percentage of these may not eventually make it to the race courses. Out of these about 104 horses from stud farms catering mainly for Chennai and Ooty racing centres from the 6 sires located in Tamil Nadu, (ALWAYS A RAINBOW, FOYER, LOCKED AWAY,MAGISTRETTI, PREDAPPIO and STAR SUPREME ) are not being considered as racing coverage at these centres is mostly irrelevant due to monopoly of locals & lack of true competitiveness. In the rest of the country about 182 three year olds (listed against their respective sires) have already gone on to win races, a small percentage indeed.

D. A total of 165 sires have sired the crop of 2008 out of which 86 sires stood outside the country and their foals were got abroad. 44 resident and 22 standing abroad sires have got winners so far. The details of the winners (mentioned along with the name) in the season 2009-10 are discussed hereafter. Sires with a crop of 20 or more are also written about subsequently. The winning crop of 2/3 year olds (@) is mentioned for reference Black type winners are shown in capitals. The details of Black Type winners/performers ($) during last racing year are also mentioned for interest and perusal.

He was champion freshman sire in 2001-02. He has been utilized by the top stables around Pune and has been very consistent in producing black types.

There have been reservations about their not doing well in monsoons due to the cut and grassy conditions, he has reveled in dry and sound turf. He was highly successful in the recently concluded Mumbai season getting 45 winners.

The grand son of Roberto has done very well last year with having second highest winners in the Mumbai season 2010-11. The produce has done well in sprints and the later crops are maturing to stay as well. Most of the crop races at the prime centres of racing .He is bound to profit from the cross of Razeen mares who nick well with him.

11. JUNIPER(50)- 13 year old is son of Danzig and stands at Capricorn Stud. He has 2 winners of 4 races in the 5th crop of 7 foals.

@-ice rain,ultimate fantasy,raana & shahraan.
$-con artiste.

The sire had done very little at stud in USA for 6 years, the first crop here had some reasonably good sprinters. The glaring thing about them is the dislike of wet conditions of the monsoons.

@-raffles,sokudo,aletris & petaloid.

@-good wood park,win again & master of illusion.

An ordinary sire with poor race performance, can mature with age, has ltd stud support and off springs are likely to race in North India only.


FRESHMAN SIRES FOR 2010


37.DANEHILL STAR by sire of sires Danehill aged 14 years had a ltd crop of 8 foals only at the Galloping Acres Pissawa from where he has since been relocated to Bangalore. He is yet to get a winner. The 3x3 grandson inbred to Natalma (dam of northern dancer) was a speedy racer, had 4 poor crops at Australia before relocation here, may turn out average and give some speedy types.

38. EUROPIAN by Great Commotion aged 11 years standing at Arabesque Stud, Muktsar has a small crop of 19 and has 2 winners.
@-rohini star & agastaya.
The grandson of Nureyev has not impressed with his runners so far. He is likely to get weak stock of mares and should turn out to be average.

39. IMTIYAZ by Woodman out of a very well performed mare is a 12 year old son of Woodman and stands at the Nanoli Studs ,Pune.He has a crop of 21 out of which 2 have won.
@-muqtadir & Pablo Neruda.
The performance has been much below par as the off springs have not matured early and the racers have not shown much speed or precociousness. It looks likely that his off springs will need distances to perform. It is surprising that one of the good stud keeps on getting disappointing sires.

40. MAMBO MINSTREL by Kingmambo is 9 years old and stands at Samra Studs,Faridkot. He has 17 foals in first crop and has only one winner.
@-dazzling cracker.
Looks a very ordinary sire with poor track performance & ordinary stud support.

41. OATH by Fairy King is 11 years who won Epsom derby and had ltd success in 6 crops at Japan with only a single graded winner. The sire may come good like most other sons of the incomparable NORTHERN DANCER & needs to be watched with interest as he has a large crop of 42. He is likely to get some well bred mares at the famous Pratap Stud Himmatnagar.He has 4 winners of six races.
@-aerator, scorch, miss burgeon & colour of money.

42. QUEST STAR by Broad Brush could not sustain the transfer to the hot and dry conditions and passed away after a short tenure at stud duties. The sire was a versatile racer and a stayer to the core. The breeding is quite ordinary as there is nothing much from the grand sire side. He has 24 foals with 2 winners of 3 races.
@-golden palace & gracia marquez.

43. REBUTTAL is by Mr Greeley, 2x3 in bred to Mr Prospector the 9 year old grand son of the famous GONE WEST has a fairly large number (43) of foals. The performance of the sire has been very encouraging with the crop winning at almost all centres and some promising youngsters making their mark early. He has 10 winners of 14 races.
@-DANDIFIED,TIBERIUS,zamorin,lovely kiss,king of lords,oru oru oru,precisely that,rajkumari, golden route & bourne supreme.

44. SUNDAY DOUBT by Sunday Silence moved into a stud farm of repute which has been dogged with untimely loss of sires at regular intervals, and as if preordained this one also passed away prematurely. The late sire has a healthy crop of 45 and has 10 winners.
@- manhattan rain, Sabbath, whistling strait, practically perfect, alabaster, silencio, rein in spain, alienation, bright spectrum &silk route.
The crop of late grand son of HALO should be of interest as he was from a very well established stout male line which has always been the main criteria of imports at this farm.

FOREST MUSIC has the ride repeating all through the season, appeals at low weights.

FOREST MUSIC-PERPETUAL GLORY-VALOUR.

JOVIAL FOR PILE UP PLATE

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

DELHI RACES


1. FATEH MAIDAN runs for the 6th time, may place. MASTER CROWN comes into reckoning based on last run. MASTER D’ARTAGNAN is form a mare who has produced rubbish so far, last run was poor. SHOW ON has nothing to beat based on last run , based on last run she should run at miserly odds.

SHOW ON-MASTER CROWN.

2. LILY is the youngster here who has 4 wins and goes over the right trip with a modest rookie. JOVIAL is a very versatile horse who has handicap in favor. ROAMING FAME is basically a sprinter.

JOVIAL-LILY.

3. STEEL FORCE won twice in lower class and last run needs to be ignored. JOHNNY BRAVO was an easy winner who may step up further. RESILIENCE has form to go by. ASHWA PALLAVI has done nothing in the long season, may surprise. KERRY BLUE is at a good handicap , may do well.

KERRY BLUE-RESILIENCE-STEEL FORCE.

4. LITTLE CUT is at very tough handicap. HAPPY GO LUCKY was favored by most last time, watch rates again. SPICY MOVE has been prepared and given a feel, will run differently now. MASSIMILANO is bound to be in the fray today.

SPICY MOVE-MASSIMILANO.

5. ASHWA PADDMA comes into reckoning based on last run. SHAITAN was tipped by me to win last time, ran disappointingly. CONFIDENTIAL LADY was tipped by many in last run and flopped. MAUTHARMA has come down to be called a donkey if he does not get on board now.

ASHWA PADDMA-SHAITAN-MAUTHARMA.

6. PACE MAKER has been running in and out, can surprise. INVISIBLE FORCE may run a forward race. FIRE CRACKER has a rider switch after a surprise win. NONIOUS may run well. GANGA JAL’s victory at good odds after flopping twice when favored is a true reflection of the scenario here.

PACE MAKER-INVISIBLE FORCE-FIRE CRACKER.

DAYS BEST=====SHOW ON

LAST DAY MUMBAI SEASON 2010-11


1. FANTASTIC has the rider to surprise, top weight is a stopper though. ALEUTIAN ZONE has come to hand with the last run and is likely to be gambled upon, has credentials to win. HANA MONTANA is still backward. RAVE ON is a failed favorite who has scales in favor.

ALEUTIAN ZONE-RAVE ON-HANA MONTANA.

2. ABSOLUTE REALITY goes over pet trip. ROYAL PRINCE was prepared but failed to deliver as a favorite, needs another chance. BLUE MELLON should have won last time, the stewards were non obliging on a strong objection for reasons of their own. GRAND PARK is being scrubbed in works.

BLUE MELLON-ROYAL PRINCE.

3. ASHAV GAURAV has tracked well. AFLAME is by a speedy dam line, the rider can surprise. LAKE MISBAH is tracking fine. SPLASH may show some interest based on the maturity of 4 outings.

LAKE MISBAH-AFLAME.

4. BEMISAAL has been in form this season. TEASE ME has been prepared and has the rider switch. AURARIA has been a disappointment, why this jockey? GOLD VAULT is likely to be tried with this rider.

TEASE ME-GOLD VAULT-BEMISAAL.

5. CLAIM TO FAME has been brought down in scales and has been prepared at the fag end of the season, may run well. SILVER SCREEN was a close 5th after front running in last attempt. DISTINGUISHED was a very easy winner who retains form. MARUDHAR RATAN has been on the up, has the rider to do well.

MARUDHAR RATAN-SILVER SCREEN-CLAIM TO FAME.

6. ROYAL HONOUR has the potential to do well. BAYBLUES is tracking well. BORN TO RACE would again fancy the chances against CELSIUS who appeared to have been blatantly pulled when backed down heavily last time. ETESIAN is showing out in tracks.

BORN TO RACE-CELSIUS-ROYAL HONOUR.

7. NATIONAL IKON went down fighting as a favorite, has chance to redeem. TOMORROW DREAMS is looking for a hat trick. REINSTATE was a surprise winner who may run forward again. UPROAR may run well at low weights.

NATIONAL IKON-REINSTATE-TOMORROW DREAMS.

8. RIVER TERN showed improvement in last run. ARABIAN ROCK has run with better types, has handicap in favor. BORN DESTINY is the aged one who can do well. FIERY FORTUNE is warming up late , has a chance in this group. INNER HARMONY has placed many times without ever winning, has a weak rider.

ARABIAN ROCK-RIVER TERN-FIERY FORTUNE.
