MYSORE RACES
1. PRINCE OF BANGALORE has a reasonable jockey and can definitely do well here.

CHESTERFORD TOUCH belongs to one of the weakest trainers. HERO’S DDMINANCE is tracking well. BOCCONCINO and LAMPON are down at rock bottom of scales and both look improved in tracks, can be fighting to upset.

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.

HEIRESS FOR PANCHASHIL MILLION
Sunday, September 26, 2010PUNE RACES
In and out running of horses has become the trend at Pune and like Mysore it is very necessary to wait till the last few minutes to lay any bets. The authorities appear to be turning a blind eye to appaling results due to malpractice by the so called professional of this trade.
1. MARINE ZONE has won in higher class before, he is being scrubbed in tracks. The only worry is the intention of the ordinary trainer.RED CLOUD can not be considered after the last few bad runs. MEDTIA'S PRIDE belonging to a very poor traner should place easily after a very backward run by the weakest rider at this centre. CHIEF WARRIOR continues to remain a maiden, has a try jcokey. HOUDINI was very near to winninmg once this season, the rider is the leading jockey now.
MARINE ZONE-MEDTIA'S PRIDE
2. OCEAN WARRIOR comes into contention based on run in race 85. SABANERO is sister to SWAHILLI and may have come to hand. SPARKLER is a maiden who is being urged for response in tracks.
SPARKLER-SABANERO
3. Last run of MIGHTY CRUSADER was to fool everyone, the horse had trounced the field before that to win at good odds, may be ON again. STAR FUTURE is a winner of a sprint, now thwe ambitious trainer is trying him over longer distance, may not stay. OH CALCUTTA could not stay the extra yards last time, goes with an out of form jockey but has handicap in favor.
OH CALCUTTA-STAR FUTURE
4. BEETHOVAN has been prepared for the maiden attempt, may run well. STAR BUILDER is being readied, will run well only on backing in the ring. TUSCAN SUN has tracked well. STERLING SILVER is a nervous filly who played up a lot in gates, has to be watched.

6. RIVER BLITZ goes over the ideal trip, has been prepared well. AMORE MIO has gone backwards and can not be considered for win. FORWARD CHARGE is going over a little longer than desired distance. SUPER KING was a good 3rd in last run.
RIVER BLITZ-FORWARD CHARGE-SUPER KING
7. OCEAN ADMIARAL is tracking very impressively. LUNAR QUEST had won all the way, the company is tough today. CARRIBEAN QUEEN was a noticable finisher in last run, should improve on that score to be in reckoning. CRYSTAL has not been able to deliver on good bloodlines and the track work. HEIRESS is a wwell bred who has come on a lot.
HEIRESS-OCEAN ADMIRAL
8. CROWN PRINCESS ran well to get on board, has a chance. OCEAN STAR was being considered negatively by the people who seek stable and othertype info, the horse kicked them well by a going away win last time, has the looks to repeat.PROUD STAR has a try jockey. SHODAAN has been given mocks and is tracking well.
OCEAN STAR-SHODAAN-PROUD STAR
9. EMERALD VALLEY has run some good forward races and will compete again with the good jockey. OCEAN SENSATION is tracking well. CEST LA VIE has been held back for a strike, today should be the day. NAUGHTY LASS is poorly bred, may run well.
CEST LA VIE-EMERALD VALLEY-OCEAN SENSATION
10. BORN DESTINY has a handicap chance. RED TABASCO has been prepared and given a run, should be going all out now. STAR CRAFT is a speedy one who can win if the jockey rides well. SEA WONDER is being waited with.

TORCELLO-CHINGARI-WALK OF LIFE
2. ENCHANTED goes over the correct distance, was given a bad ride when tried at this trip under M Narredu. SUZY WONG ran below par in last run, the trainer is known for such in out running’s, has a decent chance with this rider.

LIGHT MY WAY has eaten a lot of money in his career, a bad looser who appears one paced. DRAMA QUEEN won well despite a slow start.

LIGHTNING CAVALARY-RIGEL-LIGHT MY WAY

GLOWING STAR-STORMETTE-MARIGOLD

OCEAN EMPEROR FOR SPRINT MILLION
Sunday, September 19, 2010PUNE RACES
1. ANEMOS has won at these weights with Jodha before over 2000m, the trainer is not doing well this season. TINTORETTO was given a curious ride by Prakash last time, could not sustain the long lead, looks difficult over this trip. STAR INVITATION has been a costly failure, can not be backed till he improves. REINSTATE has run some suggestive races, the breeding is ordinary.
ANEMOS-REINSTATE
2. SWAHILLI has been tracking regularly, the allowance jockey has a chance if ridden up front. SALTORO was ridden hard to get on post after a lethargic getaway, should be looking to repeat. WHITE KNIGHT has done enough running in the season to go up in scales.
SALTORO-SWAHILLI
3. LAGO MEDIO has a weak jockey. NEFYN is to be backed till beaten, he is in top form. SEMPER EADEM is a fine sprinter. RIVER STAR veered out under pressure in last run, has tracked well since.
NEFYN-RIVER STAR
4. RAIN FOREST has been working well. SUDDEN THUNDER has a good jockey to improve on last effort. ZILLIONAIRE has pleased in tracks, the last run was good, the trip suits. FROST FAIRY showed improvement in last run, the pedigree commands respect.
ZILLIONAIRE-FROST FAIRY-SUDDEN THUNDER
5. CONFISERIE is bred to stay, has run with better types in Mumbai, has worked well. GAMBA is maintaining form. STAR TREASURE is surely being sent over a stretching distance, the breeding suggests otherwise, can not be considered for win. AZUL was in betting order in last run, has a chance.
CONFISERIE-AZUL-STAR TREASURE
6. STAR OF KILLARNEY may find the added yards difficult to sprint. OCEAN EMPEROR is a well bred who is showing out in tracks and has the right combination. ANGEL’S PURSUIT has not run this season, has been given a couple of mocks, should run well. ILLUSTRIOUS has been very regular in works, should have come on after the last run. KHURSANIYAH had sprinted very well, now has a tough company to tackle. VIVA LA DIVA is speedy, may sustain in the straight.
OCEAN EMPEROR-ANGEL’S PURSUIT-ILLUSTRIOUS
7. POLARISER is due to upset anyday. CRÈME DE LA CRÈME and DICTATOR have penalty to beat, the later is scopy and has potential. BLUE MARINE has often been beaten close home, should be in thick of things under this rider. HIGHLAND VISION may place. ADAM’S LAW remains attractive at low weights, the trainer is not inspiring type, his wards are backwards.
BLUE MARINE-DICTATOR-ADAM'S LAW
8. NATIONAL IKON is tracking fast. MASTER CRAFT looks a very good place bet today. SOLID ROCK may run well, is due to earn his feed. ABERDOVEY showed glimpse of his capability by finishing on, should be trying to win now.

NATIVE KNIGHT FOR IDAR GOLD TROPHY
Saturday, September 18, 2010PUNE RACES
1. SEA BUCCANEER is a failed favorite, will try to make amends with the good jockey riding. ENTICEMENT is by the speedy mare and after the last run should now display good speed, she is due to win. PRINCE OF TROY remains in contention based on consistency. FANTASTIC was in betting order but could not deliver.
ENTICEMENT-SEA BUCCANEER-PRINCE OF TROY
2. ARISTROCRATICAL has been tracking, he bled in mocks, may be involved. HI DOLLY finished on in last run, will be tried , the trainer is known for quite gambles on longer odds, may ditch the punters as a favorite. FLUENT VICTORY was a faraway 3rd, can place. FREE SPIRIT is at ideal handicap and goes over the favored trip.
FREE SPIRIT-ARISTOCRATICAL- HI DOLLY
3. An easy looking race made difficult by the characters involved. On paper DOI MOI has a distinct edge in handicap and the distance is suitable, but the big question is whether the “ chela - Neeraj “of the main adversaries trainer for whom he had pulled VIOLETTA last week will return the favor. CAMBIASSO is the improving horse with the better rider.
DOI MOI-CAMBIASSO
4. BLUSH is maintaining form, has a decent jockey. MAJOR WAGER looks to upset, the rider is hopeless type. RISING GLORY had won easily at the start, can win again in this poor lot. NOU CAMP may find speed to get on board.
RISING GLORY-MAJOR WAGER-BLUSH
5. ANGELO has handicap in favor, but no tracks since last run and an aging jockey? ARISTOCRATIC was given an easy ride, the horse is bred to stay, had proved very speedy in early career but from then on has been poorly trained, remember he had thrashed ARTS in a sprint convincingly. TROMOS has a distant chance. DEEP PURPLE has a rider switch after last place. SUPREME EMPEROR is at bottom weights.
ARISTOCRATIC-DEEP PURPLE-SUPREME EMPEROR
6. FLASHING SWORD has been prepared and has come on after the last run. OCEAN YARRMAN is a well bred who appears to be better off after being gelded. SAMIEL is attractive in trials, the well bred full sister to WHITE KNIGHT should fight out. STAR OF VENUS is full sister to NORA , has worked impressively with this rider in tracks mostly.
FLASHING SWORD-OCEAN YARRMAN-STAR OF VENUS
7. MASEEHA has tracked well, has worry of top weight. HIGHLAND CROWN won well at low weights, looks tough for repeat at these scales. CABRIOLET ran an improved race, the rider is very poor. CLARIAN CALL was a comfortable winner and will be trying to out run all again. NATIVE KINGHT was being fancied by some at top weight, today he has a good chance to redeem, the handicap is in favor. SPARK OF GOLD has raced with better types at Bangalore and may upset.
NATIVE KNIGHT-CLARION CALL-HIGHLAND CROWN
8. OCEAN POWER has impressed in works, has beaten TITLIEST easily in maiden’s race. TITLIEST won in smart time, looks improved and will go for it once again. PETRA is by the speediest racer in India during the last millennium, the sire has not clicked in this case. SEEN IT ALL has a rider switch, is at a decent handicap.
TITLIEST-SEEN IT ALL-OCEAN POWER
