Youmzain!!!

[my miss storm cat]

Honestly do I have to do everything here?

On the Harbinger thread no one mentioned that Youmzain was 3rd and beat Workforce home.




THE KING GEORGE - YOUMZAIN - 3rd (Again)!


[i]How boring can he be? (Another 100k in the bag, and a long wait for the first weekend in October).


Most of us have been bitten by him - he's a pest. But he's OUR pest.


Harbinger was brilliant, with Cape Blanco coming an admirable second.


'Youmie' came in third due to Harbinger's devastating move on the turn and to say we were beaten is an understatement.


It was simply incredible.


We aren't downhearted though - The future?


Let's get the leaves off the trees, Jaber on edge and the false straight in play at Longchamp, Mick reckons that the tables can still be turned.


"Workforce can't be that bad - he won the Derby by countless lengths and Harbinger did likewise on Saturday. If you look at Snow Fairy's Irish Oaks success, she beat the Ribblesdale fillies by over 40 lengths!


"Coming into the King George, the Irish Derby form gave Cape Blanco no chance and he ran a cracker to beat us, so let's see how the season pans out. This is a jumble of Group 1 form we are talking about and such results are the reason that bookmakers will always do business.


"Longchamp in the Autumn is a long way from Ascot, Epsom or the Curragh in mid-summer and Youmzain is an incredibly popular horse in France for three very good reasons.


"We'll go straight there now for what could be his final public appearance before a probable stud career on the other side of the Channel. Having said that though, if only Jaber and I send mares to him, we aren't ruling out coming back with him as a racehorse in the second half of next season!


'Why not? We don't have the financial backing to buy proper middle distance pedigree horses and £3.6 million tells you that he's certainly the horse of my lifetime - I intend to relish the fact that I see him every day. I hope the wider world appreciates him as much as Jaber and I do as well."


"HARBINGER is a superb horse and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to HH and the Team at Highclere, but we'll be there in Paris!"
