PUNE RACES
1. ZEN was a faraway 4th in last run, the jockey switch brings him into fighting line. BLUE JAY is by the black type speedster SCENIC ROYALE who has produced nothing much so far, may show some improvement in this company. SECRET GLORY looks absolutely outstanding here based on her runs in classic company in Mumbai, the rider is to confuse one & all with ulterior motives on part of the connections. WINGS OF ANGELS is by the best performing sire at this race course.
SECRET GLORY-ZEN-BLUE JAY
2. HOGO BOSS is a game horse who has been prepared, has a habit of bleeding. NAN JING with a run & a good jockey atop is bound to have a go at this handicap. CZAR ALEXANDER could not overtake NITROUS in last run, may be the jockey is a bit feeble who gets another chance to redeem his lapse.
CZAR ALEXANDER-NAN JING
3. STAR CRUSADER is a stout stayer who has a decent chance here. STAR OF THE SEASON was a good 2nd, the top rider has a handicap chance on this bleeding suspect horse. FLASHING FLAME ran on in the final stages of last run, the added distance may help.
FLASHING FLAME-STAR OF THE SEASON
4. PERSONIFIED is a good type , his win in a start to finish over 2400m at Mumbai was noteworthy, however the trainer is a let down this season. NITROUS is a speedy horse who will hit the front to run away. AQUILO is at ideal handicap, the age & step up in distance may be a stopper. YANA a dope sufferer who was disqualified after she won the OAKS has to improve in scales after her last easy win in a poor class.
PERSONIFIED-AQUILO
5. The race is to be fought out by the two, ie; RAGHUVANSH & IKARIA. RAGHUVANSH is nicely bred being full brother to black type GRUEZI, the last win was authoritative . IKARIA is receiving 7 Kgs , he is half brother to speedy AVEC PLAISIER, the tracks are speedy. The handicap favors IKARIA slightly but from the prospect of sires, ROYAL KINGDOM has been producing some top horses like HOLDING COURT etc. whereas JUNIPER has yet to produce a noticeable runner. WAR OF ATTRITION is the other hopeful in the field who has worked well but has a rookie jockey ( this year the new comer jockeys look totally out of depth in their rides). ABSOLUTE REALITY may be yes may be no as is the name of his dam.
RAGHUVANSH-IKARIA-WAR OF ATTRITION
6. THE RISING is moving well in tracks, has a decent chance in a sprint. FIREFOOT is a good type sprinter who has not been in tracks. STAR ALWAYS lost a certain race last time due to a worthless rider’s antics, the trainer is in dumps nowadays. LEGENDARY is at low weights.
STAR ALWAYS-THE RISING-LEGENDARY
7. CYCLADES has run with better types, looks good here. GLOBAL SPIRIT won well in last outing. ADDICTION is half brother to NIMBLE FEET, the tracks are suggestive. PALME D’OR veered out in last run, may improve.
CYCLADES-ADDICTION-GLOBAL SPIRIT

- 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.
