THERE is one certainty for the 2019 breeding season. Breeders who have availed of Rathasker Stud’s Bungle Inthejungle for €5,000, his fee since he went to stud, will be patting themselves on the back for their good judgement, while breeders wanting to use him for next season will be happy to pay whatever new fee his connections will surely be setting for him.

Out of the blocks as fast as Usain Bolt, Bungle Inthejungle is firing on all cylinders and his 15 first crop juvenile winners include the Italian listed winner Sopran Artemide, and now the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes hero and cleverly named Rumble Inthejungle. The Richard Spencer-trained and Rebel Racing-owned two-year-old was winning this Goodwood feature six years after his sire won the same race.
