NEW CHAPTER

Youmzain’s first National Hunt crop made a bright start in 2023, highlighted by impressive statistics achieved in Irish point-to-points. In the 2022/23 season the  top-class stayer was responsible for 10 four-year-old runners in Irish points, two of which won, while another four were placed.

First to strike was Peter Flood’s debut scorer El Granjero with the fastest time on the day (-16s) and was subsequently crowned the ‘EBN Star Performer’.  The following month saw Harbour Highway run out a five length winner at Bartlemy for Michael Goffs, who subsequently sold the bay to Emmet Mullins for £90,000. Cormac Doyle was another to profit from Youmzain’s smart start, as he sold debut second Laurens Bay for £80,000 to Simon Christian.

Others to catch the eye included Donnchadh Doyle’s well-backed newcomer Little Big Kev, who finished second at Ballindenisk. The Pat Doyle-trained Le Coq Hardi was another well fancied on debut and went on to finish a close third subsequently joining Henry De Bromhead, for whom he finished a promising third on rules debut.

At the 2023 store sales, Pat Doyle reinvested in Youmzain’s stock and other notable handlers of three-year-olds include the Crawford Brothers, Francois Nicolle etc. Youmzain also has four-year-olds yet to run for Denis Murphy, Paul Cashman, Warren Ewing and the Colin McKeever/Wilson Dennison combination.

On the track, Noel Kelly appears to have a smart prospect on his hands in four-year-old bumper winner Wrecking Ballbilly. After finishing a close second on his debut, he was next runner up to Aughafatten who has now won three in a row and since Wrecking Ballbilly ran out a comfortable winner in Downpatrick.
