Rumoush

Perhaps an indication they believe she is an Oaks filly pure and simple.

Trainer seems keen to go down the Musidora route before the Oaks and I view this positively, means they are not getting distracted from her main prize.

obviously trainer knows more - but she just doesn't strike me as an Oaks type

Trainer must think she does not have the speed for the Guineas

There still hasn't been any news on where Rumoush runs next. Or has there? My hunch is that they will decide to step her up in trip (possibly in the Musidora). Habaayib ran a very promising trial at Newbury yesterday and I suspect that they will decide to run Habaayib alongside Tabassum in the Guineas.

Tregoning said Musidora I believe.

There wa a quote in the RP after the race where M Tregoning indicated he wanted to aim her at the Musidora but would need to speak to the owner first.

Straight after the Feilden Tregoning said he liked York, but no decision had been taken at that stage. We're still waiting for a decision on whether she runs in the Guineas or goes for a more traditional Oaks trial.

given how poor the 1000G looks - they will surely consider it...?lookedto have loads of toe last day

french oaks imo, agree that the 2nd ran a good race in f darling yesterday, running on still massive price on here for 1000, rather take 80s for her than 5 on s duty

Won't run in Guineas tho will she?

According to the RP Rumoush goes for the 1,000 Guineas.


"Hamdan Al Maktoum's filly, trained by Marcus Tregoning, won last week's 1m1f Listed event by two
and a half lengths and connections are keen to let her take her chance in the Guineas despite the drop back in trip.

The owner's racing manager, Angus Gold, said on Monday: "Sheikh Hamdan would like Rumoush to have a crack at the Guineas and, all being well, that appears to be the plan.

"There's a slight doubt about her staying the full Oaks distance and, after her performance at Newmarket last week, she deserves to take her chance."

great news.... took some 25/1 after she won last day with Laddies to a minimum stakes just in case....

willl top up now ew 16/1

Disappointing news (from the purely financial point of view, as I will now have to place some sizeable insurance bets on her). It's hard to see her being good enough to win the Guineas on what we've seen so far, but you never know...

exactly the same view as you james.

Shortening very quickly and wouldnt be a massive surprise if she was picked by R.Hills to ride. No stamina doubts and a solid e.w proposition.

But James, surely she has an absolute ton of improvement yet to come? Her half sister won the race after achieving less than she has done after two career outings, and she showed both speed and a strong finishing effort to win last time, though I grant you the form is held down by the second (albeit the he is surely better than he has shown so far). I think she is a cracking e/w bet as stamina is assured, she has course experience, is beautifully bred and improvement is almost guaranteed.

Richard will ride this.

Looks like james has placed his bets :0

A slight Market Mover today.

COTC, fair points, but will she improve significantly for the drop in trip? It will be interesting to see whether Richard Hills deserts Tabassum in favour of this filly.

The drop in trip?
The Guineas will be a true run race, Fielden wasn't. It won't make as much difference as you are making out imo.

James, I believe a truly run race will see her involved at the finish, so she should be fine back over the mile trip. The danger, obviously, is if they go no pace then sprint, which will suit the likes of Special Duty etc.

There are still plenty of likely runners that I prefer to Rumoush. She'll do well to get a place, in my opinion.

Nice arb if anywon wants it.

Cheesy - You live by the sword, die by the sword in this game!

Tabassum has been all but ruled out of the StanJames.com 1,000 Guineas after failing to shine in her work at Newmarket yesterday. Richard Hills thus rides Rumoush on Sunday week, while Kieren Fallon will partner Seta ahead of Music Show, the second favourite.

Good stuff Grizly

The sad thing is for anti post punters, she was tipped today in the Weekenders Market Forces section 1pt Each way.

;)

this is all coming together very nicely

Not how many would describe finding out that Dickie had been booked :^0

This horse is incredibly short for the guineas. Her mother was also beaten in the guineas, i wonder whether the same fate awaits this filly. She certainly didn't look quick to my eyes anyway and must want a lot further and 8-1 is some kind of joke i think. She will be a long way behind before her stamina kicks in surely.

seta wins the guineas.
