BANGALURU RACES
1. LATVIA is full sister to GOBELIN, she looks good in this poor field. HENRY'S SECRET & REDSHIFT who ran close in last race should fill the frame.
LATVIA-REDSHIFT-HENRY'S SECRET
2. RAIN MAN led well into the closing yards last tme, MAAHI VE has been on tracks all through Mysore season. MISS PUKKA was a disappointing runner who may improve. SPLENDID GLORY may place.
MAAHI VE-RAIN MAN-MISS PUKKA
3. ORIENTATION is tracking well, may upset. NEARCO MASTER has a try combination. DESERT RULE is a big flop, should be left alone. SILKEN THOMAS is well bred who is sparingly raced & may win as a good thing as the preparaation is tops.
SILKEN THOMAS-ORENTATION-NEARCO MASTER
4. FLEETING ARROW is a classic hopeful who appears to have recovered. SOBERANO looks good on handicap. JETFIRE has won under this jockey before, may run well. JERSEY PRIDE is in forward condition.
FLEETING ARROW-SOBERANO-JETFIRE
5. BOURBON BAY is by a flop mare, does not appeal. VIVACITY is bred in blue and working very well. ALLURING is showing out, may surprise. YOU'RE CHULBILI can place.
VIVACITY-ALLURING-BOURBON BAY
6. REGAL RANSOM has been prepared but the handicap is a dampener. ROYAL AMBER is a good type, was a good 2nd in last run. YOU'RE WONDERFUL won 1600 m with rider loking back. ENDURING STAR has run with better types.SUPERLATIVO may run a better race.
ROYAL AMBER-YOU'RE WONDERFUL-ENDURING STAR

- 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.

FANTASTIC QUEST LOOKS GOOD IN MADRAS RACE CLUB TROPHY
Saturday, November 15, 2008BANGALURU RACES
1. JAMAICAN BOLT is half brother to speedy KODAVA FIRE, he impressed in gates. ANGEL FIRE is bred in blue, she is showing plenty of speed in trials. HIGH GLEAM is full sister to fast type STAR STRIKE, the tracks are impressive. TARGET ACHIEVER , the other one from the same stable is working well.
ANGEL FIRE-HIGH GLEAM-JAMAICAN BOLT
2.FOUR SEASONS has been well prepared, the distance suits. SUPER SPEAR won start to finish in last run, will try the same tactics. LIVE IT UP could not catch up with SUPER SPEAR, has weights in favor today. ROYAL FILLY may try to place again.
FOUR SEASONS-LIVE IT UP-SUPER SPEAR
3.GLORY BOUND has placed in poor company. HILL OF GRACE has been tracking well even during Mysore season, may improve . RISING HERO may place again. HALLMARK has not been allowed to win, some questionable rides are the reason, may go all the way in this poor field.

MEDIA MAN-CASINO ROYALE-STAR BLUE
6.OWN CHOICE is a good sprinter, has never won over this distance, but is likely to contest the issue. SUCCEEDING STAR is the success story of the stable this year, the tracks are fluent. BLINK is tracking well. REFLECTION OF GOLD runs well up front, may run a good race. ARISTOS won at cramped odds as a good thing, is maintaining form .
SUCCEDIND STAR-OWN VOICE-ARISTOS

ORIGINALITY FOR KRISHANARAJA TROPHY
Saturday, November 8, 2008BANGALORU RACES
1.CHELSY DANCER is full brother to black type FAME STAR . It had run a close 2nd to good type SUCCEDING STAR in its first run, should run a good race. SUN DEVICE has been working well. SCRAMJET had veered off the straight course when running as a favorite, the Brazilian jockey can open his account straightway here as the horse is nicely prepared. NICE GUY is a failed favorite.
SCRAMJET-CHELSY DANCER-SUN DEVICE
2.LATVIA the full sister to GOBELIN is tracking well, should win in the lowest class. TERN ME ON has lots of initial speed, the elder brother ATTENTION SEEKER was a decent horse. REDSHIFT is showing keenness in tracks. ROYAL CONFIDENCE is well bred, lacks preparation.
LATVIA-TERN ME ON-REDSHIFT
3.ONE had won in summers with rider looking back, the tracks are fine. PELIKANO is well bred with a 2nd grade jockey. DESERT REALM has not been tracked. SPLENDID POWER was a good gamble under Zia, should be able to win again with the stronger jockey.
ONE-SPLENDID POWER-PELIKANO
4.JERSEY PRIDE has worked well, it has won at these weights before. IN THE ZINE always tracks well, may be involved. ORIGINALITY is a good type who is showing out in trails. PERFECT RHYTHM may place.
ORIGINALITY-IN THE ZONE-JERSEY PRIDE
5.KYLES OF BUTE has been kept in trim all through the mysore season. EQUIDAE has lots of class, it should be the trainer’s good thing today. ALCMENE has not raced for long. APPLIQUE won as a good thing in a poor field. GLORIOUS PRINCESS must be revered by the owners, it has always been in money, appeals even in this strong field.
EQUIDAE-GLORIOUS PRINCESS-KYLES OF BUTE
6.MOTHER’S PRIDE is a failed favorite who is tracking well. TOMSK was amazing in his hat trick in summers, can warm up to gulch them all. STAR OF WASHINGTON is a well bred who is well rested. ICEBREAKER has run good races in Mysore, takes on a moderate set now.
TOMSK-ICEBREAKER-STAR OF WASHINGTON
7.STAR SPEED has not been tracked, it may surprise yet. ACQUITAINE had won as a good type, the jockey is a real bad one today. SECRET MELODY is very well bred who appears to have recovered from the bleeding problem. LUMINOUS GOLD has been working well.

RIO BRAVO FOR RAJVOTSYA TROPHY
Friday, November 7, 2008BANGALORU RACES
1. MAM Ramaswamy has a habit of winning the inaugural race for juveniles at this centre. Many years back even Samar Singh had done the same for three continuous years with horses belonging to my family. Today also it looks to be a race between the two with MISTY MOONLIGHT shining above the others based on the superb pedigree & the excellent gate practice. IDAR PRINCESS is showing lots of initial speed as she is by a mare who won three sprints in Mumbai. RASHIDA is the other filly in field who is promising in tracks, the full sister to the useful SOLID SUCCESS has a mediocre jockey though.
MISTY MOONLIGHT-IDAR PRINCESS
2. ACTION HERO has run in higher class, he has a forceful jockey to also. AMAZING FLORA was kept far back when racing last time as a favorite, the top stable jockey may run her differently . ASPIRING SEVEN is badly off on handicap, he likes to hit the front. EVERYTHING NICE is good in tracks, should run an improved race.
ACTION HERO-EVERYTHING NICE-AMAZING FLORA
3. EDMONDO is showing out in tracks, it is due for a win as it has been sparingly raced. LET THE RIVER RUN is moving well in tracks. EXCELLENT ABILITY is well bred who appears improved a lot. VOICE OF INDIA placed for first time in last run, may do so again.
EXCELLENT ABILITY-EDMONDO-VOICE OF INDIA
4. ALGIERS is notable in works, the distance suits. AN EQUAL MUSIC is good on handicap but it may be going out for a rehearsal only as he is not cut out for this distance. EL GORDO wins when not expected, has been tracked constantly. MY FRIEND PAUL has been handled very poorly in the last couple of seasons as the trainers had their own problems. FREE MASON has the handicap in favor, may need a run.
ALGIERS-MY FRIEND PAUL-FREE MASON
5. BOURBON KING, the champion horse of last year appears fit, it is carrying a load & can not be supported based on the poor runs in summers. HOLDING COURT needs to settle down to racing before its potential as of now is known. LION HEART is this years top older horse over this distance. VANQUISH is impressive in tracks. RIO BRAVO ran a commendable 2nd in last run, it may warm up to win.
RIO BRAVO-BOURBON KING-LION HEART
6. SUGAR BLAZE has been constantly in tracks, may run a good race. MASQUENADA is working well. ANDRONICUS is pleasing in trials, has won the first race last winters also. RIVER ISLAND has no tracks, it is the way Padmanabhan trains, the positive is that it has raced with better types.
ANDRONICUS-RIVER ISLAND-SUGAR BLAZE
7. ALLEGRO is in fine form, the rider is suspect. SHISHAM warmed up well in last run but the rider was not very keen to win, may be able to deliver today. MEDIA MAN won in a fight, looks tough now for this well bred. MISS PUKKA ran well enough to finish on board, can fight out now.
SHISHAM-MISS PUKKA-ALLEGRO
DAYS BEST=====MISTY MOONLIGHT
DOUBLE=======ALGIERS & ANDRONICUS
PLACE========ACTION HERO, , RIVER ISLAND & MISS PUKKA
