The marvellous First Season Stallion, Multidimensional sired his first winner in India with STRIKING. The two-year-old filly won the 1200M November Plate at Bangalore on November 23, 2012. Multidimensional soon transformed into a wonder-working Sire whose stupendous progeny, arrived habitually, especially in the Graded and Classic races all over India. Then, on February17, 2013 Multidimensional was the first freshman Sire, to have a Gr. race winner in India. Striking (Multidimensional-Dazzling Skill) won the Gr.3 Vif Stud Godolphin Barb Million at Hyderabad on the date as above. Since then, The Great Sire’s progeny have arrived from strength to strength. Striking then went on to win The Calcutta 1000 Guineas (Gr.3)on 23rd Nov.2013 in a time of 1-37.20s. Striking earned stakes of Rs.3,585,900 and although her ‘Dam’ Dazzling Skill won only one race her ‘Grand Dam’Anagram was a Class I filly in Western India who won 3races. Plus, her ‘Dam’s tail-line’ is a strong one, as it goes down to the likes of Aladancer (USA) who won 9 races with a Career Earnings of $191,135 incl. 2 races over 8.5f in USA –Linda Vista Handicap (Gr.3) and California Breeders’ Cup Oaks.

Then there was the masterly filly STARRY EYES (Multidimensional-Pricewise) who  started her career by finishing a neck 2nd to Mariinsky on 20/1/2013 in The 1200M Gool S.Poonawalla Million (Gr.3) on 20/1/2013, but on 10/2/2013 won The 1400 Arpan& Arti Million by 8L But, then she unluckily lost The 1400M Poonawalla Breeders Multi-Milion (Gr.1) by a mere neck to Murioi on 24/2/2013. However, Starry Eyes then went on to win The Forbes Breeders Juvenile Fillies Championship (Gr.3) on 17th March, 2013 by 7-1/2L in a very good time of 1-36.30s. Subsequently, on 17/11/2013, Starry Eyes won The !400M Maharaja of Morvi Trophy. However, in the classic season, Starry Eyes finished 3rd to Mariinsky in The Indian 1000 Guineas (Gr.1) on 15/12/2013 but came an excellent 2nd to Alaindair in The McDowell Indian Derby (Gr.1) but thereafter ran a dismal 4th in The Indian Turf Invitation cup (Gr.1) at Hyderabad. Pedigreewise, the ‘Dam’ of Starry Eyes,  Pricewise (Razeen- Gourgandine) won a couple of races but her ‘dam’s tail-line’ is a fairly strong one, as it goes down to the likes of Brilliant Green (FR) who won 2 good races viz.12f Gordon Stakes(Gr.3), Goodwood, GB and 14f JockeyClub Stakes, Newmarket (Gr.2),GB. So, Starry Eyes who will win more graded races, is very well- bred to stay distance trips.

The highly majestic Colt-ALAINDAIR (Multidimensional – God’s Grace) on 23rd January 2013 superbly won The Colts Championship Stakes (Gr.1) at Bangalore. Subsequently, on 14th July, 2013 Alaindair won The Kingfisher Derby Bangalore Gr.1. Then, he ran 2nd to Murioi in The Indian 2000 Guineas (Gr.1) on 22nd December, 2013 but came back with tremendous vigor to very stylishly win The McDowell Indian Derby Gr.1 on 2nd February, 2014 in the manner of a champion, in a record time of 2-28.05s. Thereafter, the majestic Colt-Alaindair on 8th March,2014 decisively won The Indian Turf Invitation CupGr.1 at Hyderabad which showed that he is a Champion  Colt and presently the best of Multidimensional’s progeny. Alaindair is the winner of Six races and will win more races as he matures, especially over long distances. And, he will be the one to beat n The Indian St.Leger (Gr.1) which will be run in Pune 2014.

Alaindair’s dam God’s Grace (Razeen-Regal Star) did nothing much but his ‘Grand Dam’ –Regal Star(Common Land-Miss Goolagong (IRE) won 9 races Rs.4,38,602 incl. Calcutta Oaks (Gr.2) and Calcutta 1000 Guineas (Gr.3); dam of: Royal Verse  9 wins Rs.9,24,282 incl. Nilgiris Derby (Gr.1), Nilgiris Colts Trial Stakes (Gr.2), Christmas Cup (Gr.3) & 4th in Mysore Derby (Gr.1), etc. Hence, Alaindair is impeccably bred to stay, which he has majestically shown in his superb victories and he is sure to win more Graded races, in the near future from trips of 1800-3000M.                                

Another brilliant offspring of Multidimensional was the highly classy filly AMELIA who  was victorious in her maiden endeavour on 10/3/2013- the 1000M Ranjit V. Bhat Memorial Gold Cup, in Mumbai. In the race, she lay 4th till the bend and accelerated to take over the running from the 200M and went away to win easily by a widening 5-1/2 lengths in a fast time of  58.44 seconds, indicating that she will soon mature into a very good sprinter who will get longer trips as she matures. Thereafter, on 24/3/2013 she finished a good close 2nd to Dancing Prances in the 1200M Forbes India Million. Subsequently Amelia’s 2nd win was in Bangalore on 16/6/2013 where she won The 1600M Fillies Championship Stakes (Gr.1) in a good time of 1-37.50s. And her 3rd win was in Hyderabad on 25/8/2013 , where she clinched The 1600M Fillies Championship Stakes (Gr.3). Getting better with each victory, her 4th win was in Mumbai on 1/2/2014 where she  won The 1200M Black Dog Trophy in a superb time of 1-10.14s. Amelia’s 5th win was on 9/2/2014 (Mumba) where she stylishly won The esteemed 1200M Dr.S.C. Jain Sprinters’ Championship (Gr.2) beating the best sprinters in Western India. Then,on 8/3/2014 Amelia was decisively  victorious in The Major P.K.Mehra Memorial Super Mile at Hyderabad which was her 6th win which she won in a record time of 1-37.10s. So, the highly classy Amelia showed that she is an extremely versatile filly.

Browsing over her pedigree, although her dam-Adamile (Razeen-Climbing High) won only 1 race, her ‘Gran Dam’, Snowtop won 3 good races incl. Joe McGrath H-IRE and her Great Grand dam-Icing had 4 wins incl. Fillies Mile, Gr.1,Ascot & Leopardstown Stakes,7f,Gr.3,IRE. So, the 4yo brilliant and versatile filly Amelia who is expeditiously on the upgrade, is sure to win  many more Graded races from trips of 1200-1600M.

WINGED FOOT another good issue by Multidimensional out of Real Excellence won The Bangalore Oaks (Gr.2) on 4/1/2014.but flopped in her next outing on1/3/2014 in The 3000M Stayers Cup at Hyderabad because she found the trip too strenuous. Concisely browsing over her pedigree, although her dam Real Excellence did nothing much, Her ‘Grand dam’ Allaire (Razeen- Fly For Baby) won The 2000 Kingfsher Bangalore Derby (Gr.1) and also won The 2001 Indian Oaks(Gr.1). Hence, Winged Foot is a highly well-bred filly who should win a couple of more races of distances from 1800 -2400M.

SNOWDRIFT (Multidimensional-Snow Tiger) is another very good 4yo gelding who is the winner of 3 races including The 1600M Nanoli Stud Calcutta Gold Cup (Gr.2) on14/12/2013 and The Calcutta Derby Stakes on 12/1/2014(Gr.1). Snowdrift has a classy pedigree as his “Grand dam’ Snow won The 1983 Indian 1000 Guineas(Gr.1). Thus, the well-bred gelding- Snowdrift  should win some Graded races, especially of trips between 1600-2400M.       

Then, ROSES IN THE BLOOM is an extremely bright 4yo filly from her Sire Multidimensional out of Roses in The Snow. She is the winner of 5 good races including The 2400M Deccan Bookmakers Golconda Derby (Gr.1), Hyderabad on 19/1/2014. Her dam, Roses in The Snow who won 2 races is by the great Razeen out of Cedar Honey, who won 4 races. So, The exquisitely bred and very well-performed Roses in The Bloom who possesses good stamina, should shortly win a couple of more top class races over trips of 1800-2400M.   

The 4-y-old Multidimensional filly KEUKENHOF on 9/3/2014 authoritatively won the prestigious 2400M C.N.Wadia Gold Cup (Gr.2) in Mumbai. Keukenhof is the winner of 4 good races and has come an excellent 3rd in The Indian Oaks (Gr.1) which amply revealed that she should achieve an encore over a distance trip. Her‘Dam’ Secret Garden (Razeen- Hablitzia) won 2 races and placed; dam of Secret Visit (b f by China Visit), 2 wins and placed incl. 3rd in Calcutta Monsoon Derby (Gr.3). Her very classy ‘Gran dam’ Hablitzia did not race but was the dam of 10 good winners, some of them being -King’s Academy 27wins incl. Calcutta Triple Crown, Star Hopeful, l9 wins incl. Golconda Derby, Gr.1 and Amber Regent 7 wins incl. Bangalore Derby,Gr.1. Therefore, Keukenhof a well-bred filly who has struck superb form, should be a winner, especially when she competes in races over 2000 to 2400M.   

Hence, the extremely brilliant and highly classy progeny of the magnificent stallion- Multidimensional who presently continue to dominate Graded races in India, will continue to do so, at least, for the next couple of years.
