1. Jedi Knight & Briansta have raced & placed in the higher class. The only time when JK won it had beaten Briansta (favourite) by 4.5 Kgs while conceding 7 Kgs weight. Today Briansta is favoured by the handicap to account for JK. Kanteerva a non winner in his life's 13 starts has a habit of finishing on board in the final stages of the race.
BRIANSTTA-KANTEERVA-JEDI KNIGHT
2. Advocate General a 5 year old has got a top jockey & mediocre field to tackle. He may just prevail over Star Matador who has been entrusted to the stable's top jockey for the first time in his career. Last outing failed favourite Alonso has also got an equal chance.
ADVOCATE GENERAL-STAR MATADOR-ALONSO
3. Almandine was eating up the ground in his last run & lost only because he was short of a run. He has everything in his favour today to emerge a winner. Alandra & My Turn were both good winners & appear to maintain form to try & outrun the others.
ALMANDINE-ALANDRA-MY TURN
4. Perpetuity won from the highly thought of Retribution in her maiden run over 1400 metres which is an indicator of the good quality of the horse. She is bound to be the market fancy. Woman On Top, Sweet Surprise & Passion To Perform also merit consideration based on their previous performance. It is felt that all three do not have the staying bloodlines to go the mile. Golden Edition who is bred in purple & who won handsomely in the winters should sweep them all. His last run under M R Singh in the Derby has to be ignored aas he was out for an easy ride where he was given a most relaxed run behind the hopefuls. MAM Ramaswamy is known for his hunger for big events like the present million & the offered odds on his horse would be too tempting for him today.
GOLDEN EDITION-PERPETUITY-PASSION TO PERFORM
5. Oxford Street was a runaway winner in a maiden race & ran in the front bunch in JS Million. Milford retains his form after his handsome win. Open Opinion has the class to make a race of it ,though the distance is not in his favor. The Contender is speedy to try & run away from the others.
OXFORD STREET-THE CONTENDER-MILFORD
6. Oprah has spent the season being prepared here & may take up the challenge .Fire Stone has been very forward in all his runs. Bountiful Heights & Fearless Spirit have been prepared well. Whisper City has won at this handicap last summer & may upset.
OPRAH-FIRESTONE-WHISPER CITY
7. Aeropostale is tracking extremely well. Ballerina Girl ran a good 3rd to South Star & has been prepared for the day.Global Genius has been given try jockey for a coup.

- 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.
