Al Shira’aa Racing buys the Galileo full-sister to Rumi

ARQANA AUGUST

THE full-sister to Rumi, a Galileo four-year-old of this year, a Group 2 winner in 2021 of the Prix de la Nonette, is set to join her sister under the Al Shira’aa Racing banner, bought by the farm for €570,000 (Lot 128).

Kieran Lalor, general manager of Al Shira’aa Racing, said: “Rumi is running in a Group 1 next week, we really feel she is a Group 1 filly – hopefully this will look a cheap purchase by then!

“It is a very very good family and  this filly is by Galileo – he is the best stallion I have seen in my lifetime. He is also a very very good broodmare sire which is also important for us. I thought she was very elegant, she is a very good walker, good size. We are excited to have her.”
