Two times Group One winner Jumbajukiba may be heading to the Glorious Goodwood festival next week if trainer Jessica Harrington feels that the ground is suitable for a run in the Betfair Cup.
“Whether he runs at Goodwood or not depends on the ground,” Harrington told At The Races. “If you could get a few thunderstorms on Sunday and Monday he would travel, but he does want genuine good ground, not fast.”
Jumbajukiba’s achievements this season include winning the Group One Minstrels Stakes at Curragh.
“We were obviously thrilled with his last run and he seems to be getting better,”Harrington continued. “I have dropped him in trip from a mile to seven furlongs and he seems to be very happy running over that trip.”
Meanwhile last season’s finest miler will not be attending the 2008 Glorious Goodwood festival. Godolphin’s Ramonti missed the first half of the season with a hind leg infection, before running fifth at the Royal Ascot meeting.
However, the infection has recurred, ending his hopes of defending the Sussex Stakes.
“All future plans are on hold as we do not know how long this situation will take to resolve,” Godolphin spokesman Simon Crisford told reporters.
