HAPPY DEEWALI TO ALL RACING BUFFS
1.CHINAB should show a lot of early speed as he is by MALVADO mare ALEXANDRIE who was quick. NEEL GAGAN is tracking well, the dam APPLAUSE had won four races. THUMPING VICTORY is a poorly bred who may place as the tracks are suggestive. POETIC showed out in her 1400m track with MUSIC ON DEMAND, she is by the speedy dam CHING MAI who was a precocious type should open the winter account of the famous owner. DIFFERENT OPINION has been notable in gates & the later spurt with PIED HARRIER, should go close.
POETIC-DIFFERENT OPINION-CHINAB
2. FREE GLIDER is tracking very well after placing over a shorter than appropriate distance in her last run. ORO NIERO & STAR BLUE have come down a lot without having been on board for more than a year . One of these two may get forward to challenge the favored lot. BRIANNSTA is working well.
ORO NIERO-BRIANNSTA-FREE GLIDER
3. CASCABEL has raced with better horses and has a slight edge in handicap, the intentions of the manager/ trainer will indicate the real intent, the horse can definitely win here. MASTER YODA has not been allowed to run to his potential in Mysore, can be different here. PRET A PORTE was played around with till he won his last start at good odds, chance of an encore are slim. LIFE’S LAUGHTER has won over this distance with the same jockey, can surprise.
CASCABEL-MASTER YODA-PRET A PORTE
4. BOURBON KING is a Derby winner running in open class to get fighting fit for the sweeter plums during the winter classics, he has been sharpened up very well. Both GREEN BAX & HESPERUS had a useful Mysore season & maintain decent form. RUNNING BULL has been well rested, he likes to race upfront in early part of the winter season. He is likely to put up a good fight.
BOURBON KING-RUNNING BULL
5. FANTABULOUS PRINCE is not a winning type, he has reached this handicap by consistently placing. CHIEF’S DREAM showed return to form during his last run, he is bound to improve further. FEELFREE has been on the tracks regularly, the preparation gives an indication of the intent. ASIATICUS is another one belonging to V MALLYA who has not performed as per his handicap, the rider today gives him an edge as the tracks have been pleasing. INDIA SHINING is a game sprinter who is rarely tracked by Ponnappa for reasons he only knows, can surprise.
ASIATICUS-FEELFREE-CHIEF’S DREAM
6. ALCHESAYE should have won long time ago, the horse has been fooled around with. FEARLESS ANGEL has raced with top horses as a juvenile but is still a maiden. This full brother to RUNNING BULL cam open his account today, who knows , possibly both brothers may win. EL GORDO is speedy and well prepared. LUCKY GOLD STAR may get on the board based on his last run.

- 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.
