PUNE RACES
1. MODESTY ran 4th as a favorite, she has a better jockey now. KING OF THE RING comes out better when one sees the results of Race number 4. CHARGING RHINO ran a forward race in last run, will try to do well again. GANADOR is at low weight.
KING OF THE RING(3)-MODESTY(1)-CHARGING RHINO(6)
2. SCHNELL is attractive in morning work outs. FIREFOOT has not shown the turn of foot of Mumbai season. MONOPOLY was a runaway winner who maintains form.
MONOPOLY(5)-FIREFOOT(2)
3. HAPY RETURNS was impressive in finishing on in last run. HIGHLAND CROWN is bred well, he is half brother to DIEGO RIVIERA & FRIDA KAHALO. The horse has been painstakingly prepared for this rich Salver Race. TELSTAR was a good 2nd over 1600m last time, will try to force the issue. BOURBON QUEEN is a well bred hopeful.
HIGHLAND CROWN(3)-TELSTAR(5)
4. GOLDEN KINGDOM ran way behind in SAP Million but comes into contention in this mediocre group. He is showing lots of early speed in works. SARJERAO has improved, the last run was quite forward. EXCELLENT GIFT is a failed favorite, may place. YAMUNA is tracking well, may run well in first run.
GOLDEN KINGDOM(3)-SARJERAO(4)-EXCELLENT GIFT(7)
5. GRUEZI is returning this side after summering in Bangalore, it was beaten by PERSONIFIED last season narrowly when conceding weight. PERSONIFIED could not catch up with YANA when carrying 6.5 Kgs more. YANA has age & form on her side. NANJING , a Razeen mare is bound to improve as the track firms up.
YANA(2)-GRUEZI(1)
6. LIL MISS SUNSHINE is showing out in tracks, does not appeal on pedigree as Ontario has produced sprinters only so far. RAGS TO RICHES was an easy 4th, the rider switch by ‘ once in a blue moon’ type stable is noticeable. VARUN & JOHNNY BRAVO have both won under these very riders respectively at these very weights over this very distance before.
RAGS TO RICHES(7)-JOHNNY BRAVO(10)-VARUN(9)
7. SEA GULL was a runaway winner who is maintaining form. RED CLOUD may profit from the mocks & the tracks. SARAAH is being brought to shape. CARAMEL has not earned anything for years, has to get into the act some day. LOVELY FEELINGS is in fine form.
CARAMEL(7)-SEA GULL(2)-RED CLOUD(3)

- 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.
