MUMBAI RACES
1. TATTENHOE takes on youngsters at top weight, looks difficult. The race should be contested between KRUG and RIVER MEMORIES. KRUG has been given extensive tracks in company of good horses including JAQUELINE but the placement of jockey shows weakness in intent to win. RIVER MEMORIES has been tuned up well. BRIEF ENCOUNTER may run a forward race.
RIVER MEMORIES-KRUG-TATTENHOE
2. ANGELO looks good here. INDIAN SUMMER runs well in first run and the distance is ideal. ECSTATICA should be the main rival based on the jockey for the favorite.
ANGELO-ECSTATICA
3. TYUMEN is at a decent handicap. BRUCKNER has not lived upto the good breeding from the dam side, may run well. DEMONSTRATOR is looking in good trim, the jockey has yet to prove here. RIVER GEM is working well.
DEMONSTRATOR-BRUCKNER-TYUMEN
4. CIEL INDIENNE has the benefit of a run, the sire is precocious and therider is best here. The placing of jockeys suggests that OCEAN TOUCH will be out for an airing only as the other one form the owner who is bred in purple has the main rider sitting on MOONLIGHT ROMANCE. RHYTHM DIVINE has been tracked well.
CIEL INDIENNE-MOONLIGHT ROMANCE-RHYTHM DIVINE
5. SAFARI is looking good in tracks and should be fighting out. LAGO MEDIO has come down in scales. RED INDIAN always struggles to win in this class. ROMANTIC IMPACT has been running close races, has a good rider at low weights.
ROMANTIC IMPACT-SAFARI-LAGO MEDIO
6. BLUE DANUBE is a good sprinter, 1000 m would have been ideal. OUR FORTUNE impressed a lot in his last win. SEMPER EEDEM is tracking well. NEFYN is the talk horse this time around, the horses it beat have gone on to win handsomely.
NEFYN-OUR FORTUNE-BLUE DANUBE
7. RHAPSIDON SNOW may find the trip longish as he is 1400m horse basically, the tracks are good. MR GREEDY should be in with a chance over this distance. JUVENTUS is in good form, has age on his side. SECRET PILGIM is a game horse who has a turn of foot.
JUVENTUS-RHAPSIDON SNOW
8. SOOPHIE is a fine sprinter with a strong jockey. ESTEVEZ is a speedy youngster and all have to catch him. BLAZING SPECTACLE has worked well, the rider gives the horse a chance. TITAN is showing out in trials.
ESTEVEZ-TITAN-BLAZING SPECTACLE
9. AMAZING RAY has run against classic hopefuls. CABRIOLET lost the Derby in a close finish and should be an easy winner here. IRISH QUEEN was a notable finisher in her last run and needs to be considered as she is an imported filly. TALK OF THE TOWN won both races handsomely, running extra distance may be to test stiffer competition and the capability.
CABRIOLET-AMAZING RAY-TALK OF THE TOWN
10. VENCE was a notable runner in last run. BRAVADO has a handicap chance. LAKHADEMA has been well prepared. PRINCE OF TROY is looking good in tracks. MIA STELLA has a forceful jockey.
MIA STELA-LAKHADEMA-PRINCE OF TROY
DAYS BEST====CABRIOLET
DOUBLE=======ANGELO X NEFYN
Blogs of Note
- 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.

GYPSY MAGIC FOR BANGALORE 1000 GUINEAS
Saturday, November 28, 2009BANGALORE RACES
1. FLYING FLAME who finished on under an allowance jockey to get in place money has a rider switch. TARGT ACHIEVER has been given runs without much show, has the top stable jockey to force the issue in a mediocre field, may succeed. I FANCY YOU was a faraway 3rd, needs more distance. SMART COOKIE has been very regular in tracks and is bound to lead the way initially, may not last out.
TARGET ACHIEVER-FLYING FLAME-SMART COOKIE
2. GLORY TO DANCER was a very impressive winner in summers, looks to be at a good handicap. NATIVE TALENT was a good 3rd and is being scrubbed in tracks. STEP IN STYLE looks to be a sprinter only. INCREDIBLE has been working well. PATH TO FAME has put in some good performance in mornings, can place.
GLORY TO DANCER-NATIVE TALENT-PATH TO FAME
3. A race likely to be made up for the Byramji family as the two horses who look good are from the father and son combination who have often pulled wool over the punters eyes before. RAPTOR FORCE is down in class, has won at a higher rating over this distance and should win. The novice ridden CASPIAN SEA is the “doosra” who is showing out in tracks and has a decent chance. SPANDAU BALLET is at a stiff handicap but is working well. NOBLE KINGDOM has been a miserable flop so far.
RAPTOR FORCE-CASPIAN SEA-NOBLE KINGDOM
4. GAME DAMCER is impressive in trials after the last run, has an allowance jockey to last out. MIGHTY MONARCH is working well. TRILLION WIN may have benefited from the last run. SPARK OF ILDERISM may improve, the pedigree has not given much to the offsprings..
GAME DANCER-TRILLION WIN-MIGHTY MONARCH
5. ARISTOS has a load to carry, showing out in works. SPARK OF GOLD has been given a mock race. MY FRIEND PAUL is carrying very good form after the last impressive win. DESERT RULE is a good type who should be fighting out at this distance. TIMELESS TREASURE looks good at this handicap, the rider has to force the issue.
TIMELESS TREASURE-DESERT RULE-MY FRIEND PAUL
6. STILL WILL is looking good in tracks. SPARK OF JEWEL should build up on rider switch after the last run. PERSIAN ROCK had won easily with the rider looking back and should run well even on promotion. IDAR PRINCESS and APPOLONAIRE are place hopefuls.
STILL WILL- PERSIAN ROCK- SPARK OF JEWEL
7. STAR OF MARMALADE is a well bred who is looking in fighting fit condition. OBAN was not extended in last run. LOWNDES SQUARE is a keen type who is showing lots of speed in tracks. YOU’RE A LEGEND ran disappointedly in last run.
STAR OF MARMALADE-LOWNDES SQUARE-OBAN
8. CAPTIVATING is a winner of five races and has won at this distance before, tracks are good, . MYSTIC QUEST is in fine shape and is capable of making a race of it. DESDEMONA has improved after the change of stables, the distance may not suit. GYPSY MAGIC was a very impressive winner who now takes on the classic hopefuls. The filly is different from last summers and the confidence of the trainer in sticking with the mediocre jockey needs to be backed.
GYPSY MAGIC- CAPTIVATING-MYSTIC QUEST
9. MANTHARA is at a striking handicap with the allowance jockey. GLORY BOUND has often failed, the rider needs to win as he is not getting good mounts recently. MAN UNITED and ACT OF DUTY have a reasonable chance. STAR ADVENTURE ran a forward race and may last out today.
STAR ADVENTURE-GLORY BOUND-ACT OF DUTY
DAYS BEST====STAR OF MARMALADE

JACQUELINE FOR MAHARAJA OF MORVI TROPHY
Thursday, November 26, 2009MUMBAI RACES
1. DESTINED PRINCE has been urged in gates, has a foreign jockey. REFUSE TO BEND has been tracked after long. NYMPH is a failed favorite with the experienced fly in rider. URUJ has been wilderness for too long, must earn this season. DESERT FIRE has tracked well.
DESTINED PRINCE-NYMPH-REFUSE TO BEND
2. NO competition for JAQUELINE
3. PETRA is the daughter of the fastest filly of last century, the sire is yet to produce a good type. STAR INVITATION has the benefit of a race run, the breeding is good. WEST END is sister to the recent winner YOU’RE CHILLUBILI , can run a forward race.
STAR INVITATION-PETRA
4. ASTRAL FLASH is a Derby hopeful, the last win was very suggestive and has tracked well. EQUIDAE has a chance to make a race of it. CHIMERIQUE may fight for place.
ASTRAL FLASH-EQUIDAE
5. SUPREME EMPEROR was a fine winner who can defy the penalty for last win. ASHRIDGE is a well bred who is tracking well. ONASSIS was given a run in his only outing, this top bred has the capability to run a good race as he has looked much improved in tracks. FIRE VAULT has been given reducing runs under work jockeys.
ASHRIDGE-SUPREME EMPEROR-ONASSIS
6. CATALYST has Pune form to go by, he won at this very weight under this rider in last success. DEAR LIZA is a fine sprinter who may get the extra trip. PURE ELATION won a surprisingly good race, may be a good type as the dam was black type. DE NADA has not been upto his breeding in his runs, the weights are appealing.
PURE ELATION-DEAR LIZA-SEA QUEEN
7. FOREST FLAIR is a good sprinter, the choice of a mediocre jockey is not understood. PREMIER QUEEN was a very notable finisher in last attempt, has a good jockey. MOONFLOWER has the task cut out after the Pune hat trick, the change of venue may not suit. STAR ATTRACTION had run some fine races in last season, may win at these weights.
STAR ATTRACTION-FOREST FLAIR-PREMIER QUEEN
8. STUD OF GOLD has been kept on tracks, can upset now. ALHOMARA has not been worked, he is an unreliable type. BRIGHT FUTURE is looking good in trials. SAFFRON is a speedy type who has a decent chance over this trip. ASTON MARTIN is pleasing in works.
ASTON MARTIN-BRIGHT FUTURE-STUD OF GOLD
9. STAR ALLIANCE is shinning in tracks, has a good rider. FORWARD CHARGE is brother to good sprinter SPITZ and is shaping up well. VACHERON looks much improved in works. AESTHETICS failed pathetically as a short priced favorite, can not be supported now.
STAR ALLIANCE-VACHERON-FORWARD CHARGE
DAYS BEST===ASTRAL FLASH
