Rumoush - Guineas or Oaks?

Guineas on decent ground ideal for her next race, as Tregonning pointed out in post race interview she cruises over whatever distance they work her over at home. I don't see why it has to be one or the other to be honest.

Would they consider the French Oaks with her. She falls between the two imo but looks very useful whatever.

I know she is related to Ghanaati but she also looks like her,too,imo. A carbon copy.

She could develop into a live candidate for the Champions Stakes at the end of the season aswell,imo.

She looked a lovely big scopey filly to me (purely from the RUK pictures) and is clearly a beautiful mover.

I doubt they will go Guineas route and her Oaks target looks like it will be determined by how well she runs in the Muisidora. If she gets done for stamina then they will either take the French Oaks route or Coronation at Ascot.

Also don't forget Hamdan also has Joanna who beat Special Duty last week - she could easily be his Prix Diane filly (by High Chapparal)

surely the 1000G - was crusing today... by Rahy so not an obvious sire for the Oaks?

Speaking after the race, Marcus Tregoning said: "I'm delighted with her. She gone from a Lingfield maiden to a proper trial. She's done nothing but improve and is a nice filly and she was a bit green in front.

"Mawatheeq is by Danzig and gets a mile and a half so hopefully the [Oaks] trip won't be a problem. I love York and the track would suit her down to the ground. I'll have to speak to Sheikh Hamdan before making any decisions."

Tregoning's comment would suggest the Musidora is next.

Sint, her trainer said she was nothing like Ghanaati who he said had more speed and had a deeper chest, more like a colt (that was on RUK).

Isn´t she by Rahy? More speed than stamina there imo. Can´t see her staying the Oaks trip.

OAKS OAKS OAKS!

lets face it the Guineas looks very poor but it would look good for breeding purposes cert fora run in the Guineas

Teddy Grimthorpe is reported to have said that a Guineas bid by Rumoush is "very unlikely" (see Racing Post). So I imagine we'll see her next in the Musidora or another Oaks trial.

cheers Ben.

I'd imagine what Rumoush does has f-all to do with Grimthrope and that quote might be re: Timepiece?

I was very taken by her performance yesterday and it screamed Oaks to me. I think she beat fillies who ultimately may want further and she looked to me that she was starting to power in the last half furlong, it was more a gradual build up of speed from about 2 1/2 out rather than instant acceleration and I would be more concerned about the track at Epsom (slightly gangly filly) than the trip. She is out of a Mr Prospector mare admittedly but the grand dam is Height Of Fashion and if her half brother by Danzig can get 12 furlongs then I think she will get it standing on her head.

rahy,sarayir,mr prospector, no chance of winning oaks, could win the diane is that still over 10

Well spotted Headmaster, Angus Gold is Hamdan's racing manager isn't he?

Good point! Does anyone have the printed version of today's Racing Post and could check the quote? It seemed to relate to Rumoush, but if it is a quote by Teddy Grimthorpe, then it is indeed more likely to apply to Timepiece (or possibly Principal Role)... I can't find it in the on-line version.

Apologies, my mistake. The quote was indeed about Timepiece. Marcus Tregoning is quite confident, though, that Rumoush will get the Oaks trip, and I think she'll go to York next rather than the Guineas.

oaks for sure she does travel well and i have a little feeling maybe 1m2f may be best but the gunieas may be to soon she has loads of quality though

Elisjohn, to say she has no chance of winning Oaks because she is by Rahy is surely a bit blinkered, it's like saying Fantastic Light had no chance of winning The Breeders Cup Turf because he was by same sire. No problem with the stamina doubt as admittedly Rahy's offring generally excel over further but I think the Height Of Fashio - Bustino side of the pedigree gives real hope of her getting the trip.

sar, no way , shell get the trip imo ,i said the same of ouija though.
