Sussex Stakes on Mohaather radar as Marcus Tregoning eyes Glorious Goodwood for stable star

ROYAL Ascot hard-luck story Mohaather could be Glorious Goodwood bound.

Trainer Marcus Tregoning is keen to send his star to the Sussex Stakes after another spin elsewhere.

His four-year-old finished seventh, beaten five lengths by Circus Maximus, after enduring a troubled passage in the Tuesday’s Group 1 Queen Anne.

And the trainer will now work backwards from the July 29th feature at Goodwood – that could star the likes of the Queen Anne winner, Pinatubo, Wichita and Siskin.

Tregoning said: “What we want to do with Mohaather is give him a run somewhere, possibly Newmarket, before heading for the Sussex Stakes. We are keen to get a race in before it.

“He has no penalties, so we could look for a Group 3, and hopefully the spacing is right so he can run at Goodwood.

“It’s going to be harder now, though, because he’ll have to take on the three-year-olds – that’s a different challenge.

“We’ve always got the option of travelling to France if we want. We think he’s a nice horse, and hopefully he’ll prove it yet.”
