Horse Overview

Lot 255 is by first season sire Hello Youmzain out of a Zabeel half sister to Amelia’s Dream and several other stakes class horses. The French sire had his first yearlings take to sales grounds this year in the southern hemisphere and our stable has three of his progeny which all look to be trainable, straightforward horses with good minds at this early stage. Already having eight individual stakes winners in the Northern Hemisphere including two stakes winners with best being G3 winner Electrolyte who was narrowly denied finishing second at Ascot during their carnival.

The dam, Ziffel, is by the three time Australian champion broodmare sire of the year in Zabeel whose daughters have gone onto produce the likes of Dundeel, Ocean Park and Atlantic Jewel. Not only being by one of the best sires in recent history the dam is also a half sister to the highly talented Amelia’s Dream who initially won on debut by over nine lengths in city grade before taking out the G2 Silver Slipper by over six lengths at just her second start. Unfortunately she was scratched as a very short priced favourite for the Golden Slipper due to a serious injury and subsequently retired to stud. This also makes her a half sister to stakes performers Elimbari and Youbolt whose families have gone onto produce the likes of Young Wether, Vincere Volare and About Time.

The plan with the gelding will be to fly straight over to Sydney in the following weeks and enjoy a good break of four to six weeks before getting his campaign underway. He was a neat, correct horse who looks to be in line with the progeny we are familiar with, it is also important to note he was vetted with low risk x-rays and clean scope.
