- 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.

ENYA FOR BANGALORE TURF CLUB CUP
Tuesday, March 9, 2010Posted by Sarat Sharma at 12:00 PM 0 comments
JACQUELINE FOR INVITATION CUP
Sunday, March 7, 2010MUMBAI RACES
On sheer class and form JACQUELINE has a decent chance to enter the record books. She had convincingly beaten the best in Indian Derby. BECKET was a very good 2nd as he was running first time on this track and was wearing supportive bandages. If the racing / betting mafia is to be believeed there is a strong support for the handsome colt to lift the auspicious trophy today . The colt is likely to be hammered down as favorite during betting time.
1. NUMISMATIST has run 2nd over this distance and that run should have bought him on. SACRED RELIC has been working well, the connections would be itching to do well on this festive day. KALIGA STAR is an outsider who may surprise. MONK’S FERRARI is bred to stay, has an outside chance. DREAM RIDE has an average jockey, may run well.
SACRED RELIC-NUMISMATIST-DREAM RIDE
2. HIGHLAND FLAME is speedy and has an allowance jockey to go for a hat trick. OUR FORTUNE ran below par in last run, has enough class to win. VIOLETTA is to be backed till beaten. FOREVER YOUNG could not match strides with EL TROPICO in last run, has low weights now. ESTEVEZ is a fine sprinter , the rider is weak.
VIOLETTA-OUR FORTUNE-FOREVER YOUNG
3. DAFFODILS is down in class and has an allowance jockey. PRINE OF TROY has an allowance jockey, the horse has been a failed favorite. POMME DE TERRE ran suggestively last time, may improve. IJLAL is a failed favorite, may be tried again as he is working well.
DAFFODILS-IJLAL-POMME DE TERRE
4. NOBEL GLORY showed good acceleration in the straight in last win. BEYOND STARS was a notable finisher in last win, BEAUTIFUL STRANGER was the beaten one who went on to win the P B M Million. OCEAN WISH has a top rider for the well bred. BULLET was a forward runner who is tracking well. DEAR HENRY is by the good sire cross with a black type and is showing out in trials.
BEYOND STARS-DEAR HENRY-NOBEL GLORY
5. DANCING DYNAMITE is in top form after the very convincing win. DIEGO RIVIERA ran a great race after a long break and will threaten all now. JUVENTUS was the favorite for this race last year when it was caught on the post, will try to take revenge now, he is looking very fit. SPRINT STAR ran a easy race yesterday and now goes for the ideal trip.
DANCING DYNAMITE-DIEGO RIVIERA- JUVENTUS
6. FOREST FLAIR ran a curiously poor race when hyped as a good thing in sprinters cup, the added distance is clearly a disadvantage. AGHA is the aged dark’un here. CIELO RAY is in top form. PEPE JUNIOR is a good handicapper. SLIK KIT has impressed in his wins this season.
CIELO REY-FOREST FLAIR-SLIK KIT
7. JACQUELINE had beaten BECKET from a very disadvantageous position and yet there is a lot of grapevine talk which is suggesting BECKET will win today. The only thing I can say is that the top Indian jockey Suraj has got a chance to step into fame if he delivers. Both horses are working well. NATIVE KNIGHT is the maiden who has a chance to follow the above once again . CHANGE OF LUCK may run an improved race, she has finished ahead of the favorite last year.
JACQUELINE-BECKET-CHANGE OF LUCK
8. DE NADA has a good rider to win now, last run was suggestive. VISIONAIRE won well and may repeat. ILLUMINATE is always in betting order and has to improve to win. ALIZE would be tried under this rider, may place.BREEZE AND I is a well bred who is bound to improve after the last win.
VISIONAIRE-DE NADA-ILLUMINATE
9. LYRICAL LASS has not been stretched in last run, may run well as the tracks are good. HUNTER BAY won both tomes as a good type, can repeat. SAINTS N SINNERS has been the good gamble of the lucky owner , what are the intentions today, the betting odds at race time will clearly indicate the intent, the horse is top class. IL TABBARO is at low weights.

FOREST FLAIR AND CONCEPTUAL FOR SPRINTER & STAYER CLASSICS
Saturday, March 6, 2010MUMBAI RACES
1. SOCORORO has come down by heaps and is now at a suitable handicap to win over the favorite distance. PRIME TIME is a failed favorite from a betting stable, the tracks are good. GREY ISLAND was finishing on well in last run. BLUSH is a very well bred being trained by a controversial trainer. MOHABBI looked good in last work, the small time trainer has got his gambles working recently.
SOCORORO-GREY ISLAND-PRIME TIME
2. ANGELO has been tracking consistently well thru the season. OH CALCUTTA is going over the right trip, the tracks are good. SEA SPARROW is a gamble horse, got left in gates last time, all have to catch him now as he has been well tuned for the day. DEEP PURPLE is at low weights with a try jockey.
SEA SPARROW-OH CALCUTTA-DEEP PURPLE
3. ECSTATICA is in top form and can make a race of it even against 4 year olds. SEA STAR won in a close finish, has a difficult handicap now. HARMONICA should have benefited from the last run, has raced well against better types. ATTILA is at suitable weights.
HARMONICA-ATTILA-SEA STAR
4. DIAMOND HUNTER is a giant killer, has beaten hopefuls before. PALAZZIO”S SON ran 2nd to too good OASIS STAR in last sprinters cup, the trainer has erred in not preparing him for the important event. FOREST FLAIR has beaten all before and is best on paper. SEA RULER has a chance to upset as he has now the experience of a sprint. SPRINT STAR is the best performed over a mile in this company, the longish straight may be to his liking even in sprint and he may live up to his name.
FOREST FLAIR-SEA RULER-SPRINT STAR
5. BLUE MELLON is attractive in tracks. LIGHT MY WAY ran green as a favorite in last run, has improved and the trip should suit. LIONWOODS is bred to stay, was late to finish in last run. OCEAN YARRMAN is well bred and should improve over this trip. XISCA has run well in first run, was sacrificed in the next, has an outside chance for the leading trainer to score.
LIGHT MY WAY- XISCA-LIONWOODS
6. MASEEHA is the local hope, has won last time by sheer luck, has a poor lot to handle. OROCHI is a fine stayer who was 4th in last stayers cup. CONCEPTUAL has been very impressive winner at S India and is looking good in trials. CLASSERVILLE has age on side to stay.
CONCEPTUAL-MASEEHA-OROCHI
7. LAKHADEMA has his task cut out, the handicap is tight and the field is large to force through. ALASKA ran suggestively last time. SILVER SOUL is working attractively after last place, will be in the fray. INSITE SOUL can upset, has come down a lot. YOUNG OFFENDER has not been ridden by a competent rider for a long time. MARINE ZONE caught the attention with a good run last time
MARINE ZONE-SILVERSOUL-LAKHADEMA
8. OCEAN ODDYSEY is full brother to good type FOREVER YOUNG, is notable in tracks. STAR CRAFT showed lots of early speed in last run. TITLIEST has been just about there, may place. SERENITY has worked well, hasn’t run for a longish duration.
OCEAN ODDYSEY-SERENITY-STAR CRAFT

ASHWA PRAYAG FOR THE CHIEF SECRETARY CUP
Tuesday, March 2, 2010DELHI RACES
1. ASHWA SHAURYA is tracking well, the distance is suitable. ODDS N EVENS is the youngster who won comfortably and should win in this class. PALADIN retains zest and may place. CHARG AWAY is pleasing in tracks and will be tried. SINGH IS KING was a surprise winner who may be out of depth here.
ODDS N EVENS-ASHWA SHAURYA-CHARG AWAY
2. DAZZLE has no work after last win, can not be backed. REAL STRONG has an average rider, the handicap suits. LUCKY HONEY is running after a long time, was a failed favorite at Pune, has tendency to bleed, the gates were good? GLORIA belongs to a lousy trainer. GANDIVA is due for a win, may upset.
GANDIVA-LUCKY HONEY-DAZZLE
3. ZINGARO should like the added distance. CAVALARY BRIGADE is being tracked after long, the trip suits. MATTALIKA has been scrubbed in works, has a strong rider and stays well. QUEEN OF SUN is moving well in mornings. DAGGER’S POINT has dropped back to winning handicap, the rider switch be considered.
METTALIKA-CAVALARY BRIGADE-ZINGARO
4. DANCING BEAUTY is the best horse but with a negative jockey, the distance is the worry for the owner who will be interested in his other ward here. BREAKING MAULD looks good here after the last run. GALLOP is from a good stable, may place. DANCING BABE will be in the fray, has tracked well and bloodlines are in favor of such a trip.
BREAKING MOULD-DANCING BABE-GALLOP
5. DAZZLING FLAME is in fine form, has a rookie for repeat effort at allowance weights. ASHWA PRAYAG is tracking well and the distance is ideal. ASSERTIVE has a decent chance to repeat, has won this trip easily. BEATRICE is tracking well.
ASHWA PRAYAG-ASSERTIVE-DAZZLING FLAME
6. RABI KOUNGA is a fine sprinter who has worries of top weight. AFEA is a surprise runner, has beaten some good horses in Bangalore. SHY BEAUTY is working very well. QUALITY ASSURANCE is a good type gone bad under this controversial trainer. SPLENDID MAN has been a money spinner, will be fighting for his head. KING’S CHALLENGE has weights in favor, is due for a win.
KING’S CHALLENGE-RABI KOUNGA-SPLENDID MAN
7. CLASS N MYSTIC is tracking well, has a chance here. FEARLESS NEGOTIATOR is in good form. RISING PRINCESS looked promising in earlier runs, may be under a set back. AMITY has impressed in tracks, can account for the field here which has run together a few times at close handicap. DOON BOY is tracking well.
