Ziffel ’22

Often in Australia, we have a knack of questioning where a European sire may fit into the racing landscape down under, but in the case of Hello Youmzain, it’s very hard to ignore what his first crop has been able to achieve in Europe.

His stock look to be tough, sound, good moving individuals who will continue to improve with time, just like this 2yo with the O’Shea & Charlton team.

There are some key reasons why this 2yo should appeal.

• He breezed up effortlessly in 10.67 secs. Despite being a bit green and his galloping partner doing him no favours, the gelding showed a very smooth and efficient stride
• He’s by multiple G1-winner Hello Youmzain, France’s leading first season sire by earnings, winners and stakes winners, and has produced multiple smart winners in Australasia so far like Stormland, Hello Romeo, Remala and Lucy In The Sky. The gelding is also out of a Zabeel mare (outstanding broodmare sire) who is a half-sister to a G2 winner
• He’s in the care of a sharp training partnership, who are striking at over 18% in their first season together. From their Randwick base, he’ll get every chance to succeed like Athabascan (3 x stakes winner) and other OTI horses have

We’re confident we’ll be having success with this gelding and welcome discussion from those interested in wholesale opportunities with a budget in excess of $7,500.
