Rumble Ruby

Trained by Lemos De Souza out of Newmarket — the historic heartland of British flat racing — Rumble Ruby is part of a yard that has been firing on all cylinders this season, sending out 19 winners. That kind of output tells you this is not a small operation making up the numbers; these are people who know how to get a horse ready to win.

The recent form reads 1-3-10, which means a win followed by a third place and then a tenth — so the picture is a little mixed. A tenth-place finish is worth keeping in perspective with a horse this inexperienced; three races into a career, trainers are still learning what their horse needs, and what conditions suit them best. The key detail is that Lingfield Park just produced a win, so if Rumble Ruby turns up there again, that is a track worth paying attention to.
