Tregoning considers Finjaan options
Finjaan could return to sprinting after appearing to fail to stay the mile of the stanjames.com 2000 Guineas at Newmarket yesterday.
The son of Royal Applause, winner of the five-furlong Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last summer, faded from two furlongs out to finish ninth behind Sea The Stars.
“There’s no point making any rash decisions at this stage, but my initial feeling is that he might revert to sprints,” said trainer Marcus Tregoning.
“It’s a long season and, at the start, you have to go for the Guineas, but if it doesn’t work out it’s not the end of the world.
“He was only just beaten in the Dewhurst but that form took a bit of knock in some respects and our horse did finish ahead of Ouqba, Lord Shanakill and Ashram, who had run in that race as well.”
