Storming win for Hello Youmzain colt

[Wandering Eyes]

Stormland struck another winning blow for Cambridge Stud’s exciting young stallion Hello Youmzain.

The two-year-old raced right up to trainer Ciaron Maher’s expectations with a tidy victory over 1000 metres on the Kensington track at Randwick on Thursday.

Bred by Brendon and Jo Lindsay’s Cambridge Stud, Stormland was offered at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and was knocked down for A$325,000 to Darby Racing and Deburgh Equine.

“He was a ripper of a yearling and Darby were keen on him so I’m rapt,” Maher said.

“We’ve got options with him now he’s won and looked like he had a bit in hand. He was impressive and has always been quite a natural.”

Stormland jumped well to sit in third spot away from the rail and answered every call in the run home from rider Jason Collett to score comfortably.

“He’s a big boy and still probably got a bit of furnishing to do, but he was able to travel and gave a really good kick,” he said.

Stormland is the first winner for the More Than Ready mare Sienna Rose, a talented performer who won on five occasions up to 1400m, with her mother a half-sister to two-time Group One winner Merchant Navy and to the dam of Joliestar.

Sienna Rose’s Sword Of State filly sold at Karaka this year to the TAB Racing Club for $180,000 and the mare has a Savabeel colt at foot.

She is back in foal to Hello Youmzain, whose first Southern Hemisphere crop now includes four winners, headed by Stormland and Hello Romeo in Australia and Remala and Lucy In The Sky in New Zealand. – NZ Racing Desk
