Rumplestiltskin (horse)

Rumplestilstkin's sire Danehill was one of the most successful stallions of the last twenty years, producing the winners of more than one thousand races including 156 at Group One/Grade I level.

Among his best offspring are Dylan Thomas, Duke of Marmalade, Rock of Gibraltar George Washington and North Light.

She was however, a daughter of the outstanding racemare Miesque and was thus a sister to the successful racehorse and sire Kingmambo and the multiple Group One winning filly East of the Moon.

[4] Three weeks later at the same venue she was stepped up to Listed class and won the Swordlestown Stud Sprint Stakes by a length and a half.

She tracked the leaders but could make no progress in the closing stages and finished third, four and a half lengths behind the comfortable winner La Chunga.

[8] A month later she returned to the Curragh for the Moyglare Stud Stakes, Ireland's only Group One race for two-year-old fillies, for which was made favourite at odds of 2/7.

Fallon settled the filly in the early stages but found himself boxed in and unable to find a clear run when he tried to make a challenge in the straight.

[18] In the International Classification of European two-year-old for 2005 Rumplestiltskin was assigned a rating of 116, making her officially the best juvenile filly, eight pounds behind the leading colt George Washington.

[22] Rumplestiltkin's 2012 foal, John F Kennedy, won two of his three starts in 2014, including the Group Three Juvenile Turf Stakes.
