Hello Youmzain’s Godspeed Wins The Sandringham

[Wandering Eyes]

Godspeed's finishing sectionals in the G3 Prix de la Grotte showed us that she was a class act and Peter Bradley's colour-bearer confirmed that in Sunday's G2 Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly. This was effectively won at the break, with Christophe Soumillon instantly getting a length on the inexperienced favourite Vadinska and able to sit in mid-division while that peer was anchored out the back.

Slipping by the leader Eponine with ease passing two out, the Carlos and Yann Lerner-trained daughter of Hello Youmzain was in cruise control from there en route to a length verdict over that daughter of Tamayuz. Time Test's Betty Clover was a length further away in third, with the 9-10 market-leader Vadinska ending up fifth in a race that proved a write-off in all areas bar the educational.

“We had plenty of confidence, as we know she has a lot of talent,” Yann Lerner said of the winner, sent off the 7-2 second favourite after her eighth in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches from stall 13. “The [G1] Diane is an option, but first I need to talk with all the partners. She is a very easy filly and it's a question of whether she can use that turn of foot over 2,100.”
