HK success for Hello Youmzain

Rapid Phantom has crowned the encouraging start he has made to his career in Hong Kong with a stylish breakthrough victory at Sha Tin.

The son of Hello Youmzain was a minor placegetter at his first two appearances for the trainer-rider combination of Ricky Yui and Nichola Yeung before opening his account.

“A great ride by the jockey, Nichola rode him before, she knows the horse and the horse has improved a lot since the last run,” Yiu told the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

“Hopefully, I can find another 1000 metre race for him for the rest of the season.”

We bred Rapid Phantom and sold him through our 2024 draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale for $120,000 to Karson Choi and Donnie Yen.

He is a son of the Makfi mare Subatomic, a half-sister to international stakes winners Worldly, Nice Danon and Donativum we purchased at the 2018 Tattersalls December Mares’ Sale for 110,000gns.

She produced a brother to Rapid Phantom last season and is back in foal to Hello Youmzain.
