Igugu

This filly is right out of the top drawer!! Another great champion sired by the mighty Galileo!! She's really been ultra-impressive taking both the G1 Durban July and the G1 J&B Met for Mike De Kock!! I wonder if De Kock might not now consider sending this filly to Dubai in March to strengthen his hand in the G1 Sheema Classic? Which as near as I can tell, he's the weakest in as far as his entries right now of any of the other top G1 races on world cup night. He's strong in the Dubai World Cup with Bold Silvano and Master of Hounds. Strong in the Duty Free with Musir and River Jetez. But as near as I can tell, he basically had Irish Flame and Mahbooba to point at the Sheema Classic. Irish Flame may have run well in South Africa, but he was far less than stellar in all of his races at Meydan a year ago, and I think the Cape Verdi showed us that Mahbooba would be vulnerable to other top 12f turf horses in the Sheema Classic. This filly could level the playing field for Mike De Kock and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum in a heartbeat. JMO.

Hope Igugu runs in the Durban July 2012, she is one of a kind filly. All the best for the J & B met

By champion sire Galileo, Igugu is the second foal of Zarinia (IRE), an Intikhab mare from the family of champion mare and Arc winner Zarkava.
