MYSORE RACES
A well filled out card of ten races with many horses balloted out at final entry stage in a regular Mysore season as against the poor six to seven races framed at the much hyped racing centre of Pune. The situation is clearly a pointer to the hold of the breeders lobby in constituting rules and regulations for racing in the country. Age does effect the racing animals but fitness is another thing, take the case of CORAL GABLES winning for the 27th time at the ripe age of nine years at the top category at Hyderabad this week. A fit horse can certainly compete, HIGH VOLTAGE raced till his 13th year and participated in more than 175 races, he did not break down any time. The rule regarding discarding horses from the good age of six years onwards is very harsh for the owners.
1. CADRE NOIR has disappointed as a favorite, he may do well in the lower class. HIGH FORTUNE impressed a lot in gates, the lack of a race run is against his chances. RANVEER is unreliable type, may run on board. ANALIKA has placed in last three runs and has a decent jockey. FIERY BUSINESS should be involved if the pace hots up.
CADRE NOIR-HIGH FORTUNE-RANVEER
2. CANNON TARGET may place at good odds, the horse has come down a lot and will earn soon. MR GAMA has a try jockey. PANCHO PETE has been tracking well. SIGN OF LUCK ran on board in last run to be in contention once again. MONEY MANTRA can only improve from this low handicap.
PANCO PETE-CANNON TARGET-MONEY MANTRA
3. DAKINI is impressive in tracks and has an allowance jockey. THEODORA failed as a favorite, ran discouragingly. FATHER’S GLORY is the other failed favorite who warmed up a trifle late. SON OF FORTUNE is a front running type with an allowance jockey.
FATHER’S GLORY-SON OF FORTUNE-DAKINI
4. KALYUG RAJA has been backwards for far too long, he has been scrubbed for response in the mornings. A repeat for MASTER PROSPECT is very difficult. GOLDEN KISS can sprint well. AZAZEL got caught at the post after a forward run. SOUTH LEO has been prepared very well., the mock race should help.
AZAZEL-MASTER PROSPECT-KALIYUG RAJA
5. FULL SPEED gets a last chance before retirement. SANDOKAN has been geared up for the race. THE GAIN won as a good thing, the handicap is stiff, has a fight on hand. ALWAYS FOR YOU is running at better terms and may go all the way. WINDSOR SQUARE appeals on handicap.
ALWAYS FOR YOU-THE GAIN- WINDSOR SQUARE
6. HO CHI MINH could not step up to win last time, may run well.. STAMPEDE is impressive in works. CIAMPINO was a notable finisher. TIME IS PRECIOUS has been well prepared and needs to be tried. SUAVE failed as a favorite in lower class.
CIAMPINO-SUAVE-HO CHI MINH
7. MR MAJESTIC is showing lots of speed in works. LYRA has the top jockey, she has won at these weights before. SENSITIVE PRINCE is tracking very well and has a try jockey. WAR HEAD is a failed favorite.
LYRA-SENSITIVE PRINCE-MR MAJESTIC
8. SULEIMAN PASHA has been very well prepared for the race. KARUMBA needs a bit more of distance . JANASHEEN is a speedy one who can go all the way. KAR O BAR is in forward form.
KAR O BAR-JANASHEEN-SULEIMAN PASHA
9. TIME IS LIFE ran easily in the last race which was made up for the winner to deliver. TANTRIK is going over a longer than comfortable distance. PENNY TWEEDY has a tough task in hand despite the jockey. TURBO BABE can trouble all if she jumps out well.
TIME IS LIFE-TANTRIK-PENNY TWEEDY
10. LOOKING TO LEAD was a notable forward runner who should be at it again. THE FORCE is maintaining form. CARTOUCHE has been tracking impressively. MISSIZZIPPY has a fight on hand as she was a hard ridden winner. BLOOD STREAM needs a run.
LOOKING TO LEAD-MISSIZIPPY-THE FORCE

- 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.
