Hello Youmzain 3YO romps home

A strong international pedigree was to the fore at the Sunshine Coast where Hello Captain pulled rank on his rivals.

We bred and sold the son of our successful shuttle stallion Hello Youmzain, who was making his second appearance from Chris Waller’s Gold Coast operation when he went one better on his debut second to score over 1200 metres.

He is out of the Pivotal mare Steer By The Stars, a two-time juvenile winner we purchased at the 2015 Tattersalls December Mare Sale for 115,000gns through agent John Foote.

Three of her foals have now been successful, including Listed Carnarvon Stakes winner Never Look Back, and her half-brother Consort won the Listed Sandown Heron Stakes and finished third in the G1 ST James’s Palace Stakes.

Also on the pedigree page are the top-flight winners Dawn Approach, Kitwood, Miss Oceana, Magic Of Life, Inara and Aruna.

Hello Captain settled three back on the rail for rider Ryan Maloney and once into the clear, he lengthened stride in style to power away for a commanding victory.

He was purchased out of our draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale for $425,000 by Waller and Mulcaster Bloodstock and Payne Racing secured his brother for A$160,000 at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.

Their dam Steer The Stars has a yearling filly by Farnan and is in foal to Chaldean.
