MUMBAI RACES FOR DERBY DAY
The card is unfriendly for the punters with too many runners in most races and with little time to study form etc it is likely to be a tricky day. Another factor is the running of some show case horses which the owners train only for such big days at the tracks.
1. RED TABBASCO should run well with the good rider as the handicap is suitable, the distance may be a bit sharp though. MESMERIZER has come to hand, tracking well. FOXTROT is the first showcase horse who has been trained for the day.NOU CAMP is a speedy one with a very bad draw.
FOXTROT-WIN. MESMERIZER.PLACE.
2. HOME ALONE is a well bred who should run well in first outing. JAVO is working very well, the son of a yet to make his mark sire ran well enough in a sprint, added distance should suit. MAJESTIC FORCE has a rider switch. WORD OF HONOUR was a decent runner in good company and has a chance to win now.
WORD OF HOMOUR-WIN. MAJESTIC FORCE –PLACE.
3. ESCALATING has tracked well for this small time trainer, the rider should get him on board. GREY PHANTOM needs more distance. WILD IMMAGINATION is speedy, has a try jockey. MONEY FLASH belongs to a scheming trainer whose horses don’t perform when in betting order. EVANGELIST has tracked well. ROB N ROB was a hopeless favorite who may be fancied to do better now.
ESCALATING-BOTHWAYS.
4. I have tipped LASSERE to win in last two outings, the horse looks good based on last few runs. The danger may emanate from APACHE INDIAN who is down in class, remember he won two gallops all the way last year. AZUL was a surprise winner who may do well again. TARA belongs to a low performing stable who have a good jockey for a change. SACRED RELIC at low weights is unreliable, has tracked well.
LASSERE-WIN. APACHE INDIAN-UPSET.
5. CEIL INDIENNE is at a tough handicap for repeat. STAR TRAINER has lots to do . can not be considered based on last run. SAINTS N SINNER is a good type showcase horse who has been prepared for the day by the rider. ILLUSTRIOUS was a poor runner, needs to be watched. TEQUILLA is the surprise packet here. STAR OF VENUS is improving, may get on board.
SAINTS N SINNERS-WIN. STAR OF VENUS-PLACE.
6. STARRER was a good 2nd, should do well. CARRIBEAN QUEEN is spedy one top form. DANCING GLANCES is another showcase horse who won very easily on 1000 Guineas Day, has been braught out for a possible repeat. ANCIENT WONDER has worked well, has handicap badly against though. ZARACHA was badly interfered, may run well. ASTON MARTIN is the form horse who may surprise.
DANCING GLANCES-WIN. ASTON MARTIN-PLACE.
7. BECKET remains the best horse in the country, lost due to a poor tactics by the ruider last time. SPRINT STAR goes over the pet trip and should be finishing on. DIEGO RIVIERA is the best aged horse for this trip, has the rider to judge the pace. ARISTOS has worked pleasingly. STAR FUTURE may be considered based on last fighting loss under the stick to the Derby favorite.
BECKET-WIN. DIEGO RIVERA-PLACE.
8. PRONTO PRONTO finished on menacingly in first run, should do well. MAGICAL FAIRY flopped as a favorite. SALT is the one who is burning the tracks with blinding sped. ST CATZ is tracking well.
SALT-WIN. PRONTO PRONTO-PLACE.
9. OCEAN AND BEYOND is the horse of the day, has been prepared and will stay the trip. MOONLIGHT ROMANCE is for getting good odds, has the good win of Guineas to go by. XISCA from the top trainer has been in awesome form in lower level tracks of Kolkata, may surprise. MACCHIPICCHU has the trip against the breeding. SCIONIC looks much improved.
OCEAN AND BEYOND-WIN. XISCA-PLACE.
10. KHURSANIYA is a speedy one, the jockey has to do well. BESPOKE was a ridiculously easy winner who should repeat. NATIVE LADY should sprint well. MOONLIGHT BEAUTY has the rider who may do well on winning the big one. HOTTIE has been well rested.
BESPOKE-WIN. KHURSANIYAH-PLACE.
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.
